12 years ago, but she has some plausible excuses—runningfor six seasons, conceiving another series, writing two books, acting here and there. It took the pandemic to get her behind the camera again and, low and behold, the resulting film is about people living in very close quarters, not going out much and, at least for some, having a lot of sex.brims over with the energy of young people who wanted to make something, quickly and down and dirty.

The good-looking, good-for-nothing man of the house is speed-talking Zach , an incurable philanderer with an excessive eagerness to please who still has some key life lessons to learn . Dunham plays his soon-expecting wife Heather, whose sweet young son has mental issues and is looked after by nanny Sarah Jo , a stunner who always wears a smile and has a selfless personality that warms all in her vicinity.

There is a startling reason Sarah Jo hasn’t let anyone into her life, or pants: She had a radical hysterectomy at 15. Now, however, she wants to move forward and senses she’ll be in good hands with old pro Zach, who, it unsurprisingly turns out, used to be a porn star.

A couple of corrections. Her sister isn’t a club promoter, her ex bf is. Main character didn’t write letters to several porn stars, only to one.

Lol I was waiting for the downside 😂😂😂
