Show more >> In Fidelity is an intriguing attempt to tackle the age-old question of whether love can survive the test of temptation. Lyle and Holly, played with charm by the leads, start off as your typical New York couple, but things take a turn when they invite a rock star into their lives. The film has its moments of brilliance, especially in its witty dialogue and relatable scenarios, but it often feels like it bites off more than it can chew. The exploration of boundaries in relationships is commendable, yet the execution sometimes falls flat, leaving viewers wanting more depth. While it's entertaining, it doesn’t quite reach the emotional heights it aspires to. If you're in the mood for a light drama with a sprinkle of romance, In Fidelity might just fit the bill, but don't expect to be blown away. Show less
