In a word... boring?

These <em>'365 Days'</em> film are many a thing, but boring they are usually not - at least in the traditional sense. <em>'The Next 365 Days'</em> kinda is, especially the last 30-40 minutes. Across the whole run time, I think there's less sex than usual - that's not to say there isn't sex, there's plenty, but it seemed slightly less constant.
