Welcome to “Couples Night with AAN”.  Each Saturday we will have a review of a film, recent past or present, that is couples perfect. The kind of film you can have some adult refreshment and snuggle up with each other and enjoy a night at the movies in a very special way.

This week, we have one that was just listed a month ago, but it is definitely one for couples to enjoy. It’s a drama centered around a guy who gets devastating health news and all that happens after getting this news. Twists, turns, betrayal, it’s all here plus some steamy sex as well. If you missed our review last month, here you go. Get comfy, get close, dim the lights and settle in for a very intimate evening. Have fun!

**** 4 Stars

Mike Quasar is back with another couples oriented drama buoyed by a stand out cast, a good story and one couples can enjoy. Once again the 2024 AVN Best New Starlet, Chanel Camryn, turns in another excellent turn both as an actress and performer. Quasar has put together a really good story line that has some twists and turns, some predictability, but also some surprises along the way.

The story all revolves around Ryan. He learns that he’s been diagnosed with a rare, fatal illness that leaves him with less than a year to live. So now he is struggling to decide what he wants to do with the time he has left. Thas’s where friends come to him at this sad time and offer up all kinds of ideas and thoughts about how he can best deal with what has happened  in his life. There is his best friend Ivy, a girl he has secretly been in love with but never mentioned it or played on the feelings he has had for her.  Ivy decides this would be the perfect time for her to make him believe that she is in love with him and make his remaining time very pleasurable.

Then we have his best male friend, Seth, who is a carefree, live each day to the hilt kind of guy. So he seriously suggest and tries to convince Ryan to max out all his credit cards and do all things he has always had on his bucket list. Ryan now has Ivy turning on to him, his best friend telling him to live out the rest of his life in style. Ryan is really torn as to what is the best course of action to take.

But then there is a big twist coming after Ryan finds out that there was a big screw up with his diagnosis.  Turns out it was nothing that would be fatal or even all that serious and he has a normal life ahead of him. Now even bigger problems arise because neither Ivy or Ryan are sure if this ‘romance” is real, or can be real. Then there is good friend Seth and all  they he got5 Ryan into and now trying to get out of it. Ryan is in some deep debt and needs to find ways to get out of this mess that has really flipped his life upside down. How does this all play out? We’ll leave that for you to see and enjoy.

Overall, this is nicely done couples fare with a good, realistic story, some steamy sex scenes that add a lot to the ongoing lives of those involved. Everything here is clean and sharp, with solid cinematography and an attractive, engaging cast with plenty of sexy eye candy to pull this all together into an entertaining view. Once again Mike Quasar gives viewers and fans plenty to like and enjoy. Be sure to put this one on the ‘must see” list.
