Movie Reviews of Better than Sex
Movie Review: A charmer from Down Under
Summary: 5 Stars
The only bad thing I can say about this film is the fact that it took nearly four years for it to reach the US. The tag line pretty much sums it up -- what was intended as a one night stand turns into more than the participants expect. Sexy -- definitely (I may never look at wildlife documentaries quite the same way again); funny -- in many places hilarious, especially when examining the Mars/Venus aspect of burgeoning relationships (toilet seats, dressing time); and surprisingly sweet. The stars are charming, attractive and very real, both emotionally and physically (after years of plastic Hollywood types, you have NO idea how pleasant it is to see a good looking guy who is NOT Mr. Universe, and a good looking woman without augmentation), and are ably supported by the rest of the cast, particularly the actress (whose name I now can't remember, my apologies!) who plays the cabbie and doubles as a relationship counselor.
There's a saying that life is what happens when you're busy making plans -- perhaps love is what can happen when you're busy having sex, if you let it. Well worth your time, and share it with a friend.
Movie Review: A truly pleasant surprise!
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually sought out this movie because I wanted to see the work of one of the supporting actors (Girl F or #4 - I forget which), and was really surprised by the quality and depth of the film. Make no mistake, it is quite sexy and titillating, but the sexual aspects were handled with an honesty that made them all the more stimulating. The two primary actors are attractive, to be sure, but not "model pretty". Along with the dynamite bodies, you also see the freckles, hairs & moles that "normal" folks have. The honesty extended beyond the casting, thankfully. The sex in the film logically emerged from the budding passion that evolved from the initial lust. The script showed us characters that reacted honestly to situations that they didn't really understand; we watched as they sought to cope with each development. And you know, it was nice to view a well done film that ended on a positive note, that acknowledged that love - even in its earliest stages - is better than (just) sex.Movie Review: How Many Have You Had?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie captures two people at a time in their life where they thought they might never be.
Meeting at another party, the same faces, the same old, same old..They would expect their liason to end in a similar fashion. The same old thing, a one night stand.
This meeting was different, a promise of nothing more than one night... Suddenly..a spark? A meeting of the minds? A comfort? The way these characters eventually relate, is through a mutual respect for each other, and a lust for each other. A wanting so inherent that words are not needed to express it.
They let their bodies do the talking.
What you get here, is a movie that hits the spot and talks to a generation of males and females in their late 20's early 30's.
The subtle hints of love and affection are there, and the acting flawless.
A beautiful love story set in a realistic situation.
Movie Review: I love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't come across this movie until it had been out a few years, but I absolutely loved it. It is set almost entirely in the loft of Cin, the female lead. Cin meets the male lead, Josh, at a party and shares a cab with him. They then have a one night stand that lasts for three days. These two characters are so likable and cute together that the movie doesn't need much of anything else. The movie occasionally cuts to comments about Cin and Josh, made by their friends, that help us to understand a little about their love histories. There is one scene with one of Cin's friends that shows she has some insecurity. Being a virtual stranger, Josh doesn't understand Cin's behavior and leaves (temporarily). The chemistry of the actors makes the [love] scenes really hot and the dialog is great, too. I recommend this movie for any adult.Movie Review: "Unexpectedly overwhelming!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie for the first time last night. The idea seemed cool, and although I thought it would be another run-of-the-mill low-budget romance flick, it turned out to be one of the best "relationship" movies I've ever seen. It is honest and true (from a male AND a female perspective), with a dash of individual humor. AWESOME!!Plus, what an excellent acting job by David Wenham, the guy who plays Faramir (LOTR)!
