Angela Yang's sexcapades could put any gay man to shame. Her sexual conquests are so numerous that she has a boxful of Polaroids, snapped in the climactic afterglow, to keep her hook-ups straight.
She doesn't think twice about her voracious appetite. After all, "a slut is just a woman with the morals of a man", she explains to her gay BFF Gabriel (the adorable Wilson Cruz). That is, until she finds herself pregnant and with no idea who the father is.
Armed with only photos and some drunken memories, Angela narrows down the list of potential baby-daddies and sets off with Gabriel on a different kind of manhunt. Her short list of potential fathers includes 5-Second-Guy, Mystery Man, Nice-But-Boring-Guy, Mr. Howe, and one rather surprising candidate. She finds creative ways to obtain each of their DNA samples in the hope of identifying the dad and ultimately marrying him.
Meanwhile, Gabriel, who shares Angela's preference for quick and easy satisfaction, is having his share of problems as well. He can't manage to keep his pants on when his ex-boyfriend is around, much to the annoyance of his current beau, who reaches his breaking point and leaves. Gabriel must decide whether instant gratification or long-term satisfaction is more of a turn-on.
Director Quentin Lee has crafted an entertaining romantic comedy that features a scriptful of great one-liners and a cast that is engaging and easy on the eyes. The People I've Slept With is a one-night stand you won't easily forget in the morning.
