In Canada, the Irish inn keeper Daniel (Neil Duncan) runs his establishment with his fiancée Teri (Kim Huffman). Daniel's inn is near bankruptcy since a modern inn with more facilities was opened next door by Mark (Shawn Thompson). The naive Daniel does not suspect that Teri is unfaithful to him and is shagging Mark and sending guests to him. When the rock star Todd Warren (Scott McNeil) arrives in his limousine to stay at Mark's inn, Daniel stumbles upon and helps his company, the promiscuous actress Jenny Dole (Adrienne Shelly) that as left behind by Todd in the limousine and is also a star. She lodges at Daniel's inn and rent all rooms to avoid the reporters. Soon there is a battle of egos between Jenny and Todd and she gets closer to Daniel, while Todd makes a pass at Teri. Meanwhile Daniel gets a loan from the bank using his inn as collateral. After a couple of days and lots of confusion, Daniel needs a miracle to save his inn. What will happen to him?"Sleeping with Strangers" is a low-budget Canadian film with a funny and dramatic romantic comedy. There funny moments but also dramatic ones. Daniel is a character hard to be defined whether he is naive and stupid or simply a good person. The way he treats the slut Teri in the end is irritating. There is also a criticism to the way the media and the "little people" deal with spoiled stars. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Dormindo com Estranhos" ("Sleeping with Strangers")

I bought this movie because I like Adrienne Shelly and the synopsis looked interesting. The first time I watched it I was a bit disappointed. I watched it again a couple years later to see if I liked it well enough to keep it and decided I did. The story is pretty light, like the romantic comedies from the '40s and '50s where the leads would meet, dance with each other for two hours and be madly in love and want to get married. The rock star character is a little over the top, but Neil Duncan is quite charming as the down-on-his-luck innkeeper. If you like him, or if you like Adrienne Shelly, you should like this movie. And if you like the Chris Isaak Show, keep an eye out for Jed Rees. I would give it a 5 or 6 out of 10.

I work for a cable movie channel and it is my job to watch films and certify them. Luckily we get more good than bad but this really is the worst film I have ever seen. The acting is poor, the plot is shocking and the less said about the script, the better. I can't believe it got such a high score.
