Movie Reviews of Relax... It's Just Sex
Movie Review: VHS: Poor. Lesbian couples, sex, dragging & pointless.
Summary: 2 Stars
Looks like I am the only person who is ready to throw the movie away. I found it somewhat disgusting, rarely amusing although attempts were made to generate laughs, with a group of crazy characters preoccupied with sex.
It starts out showing two ladies hugging passionately & then two men holding like bosom buddies. Jennifer Tilly is excellent. She wants to have children. Her bi-sexual friend gets it up in the kitchen. There are lots of interactions between men and women focusing largely on sex, even though other things go on in their lives. One shot shows two lesbians sharing it, two men coupled getting themselves off, a mixed couple intwined and lots of confusion. They might have been relaxing. I fell asleep. Perhaps the picture is good on DVD. The film was made by an
independent small firm, altered to meet video ratings. If UR, the bare end results wouldn't differ much. I missed most of thee nuances other
reviewers express. For those intrigued by homo & bi-sexual love scenes or who enjoy crude comedy, this film would be excellent. Avoid the VHS.
Summary of Relax... It's Just Sex
A captivating, poly-sexual, multi-racial romantic comedy that revolves around the tangled relationships and love affairs of an extended group of close-knit friends. Stars Jennifer Tilly, Mitchell Anderson, Lori Petty, Cynda Williams. Includes commentary with Jennifer Tilly and Lori Petty, along with never before seen Outtakes.The title suggests some God-awful, trying-too-hard sex farce, but Relax...?It's Just Sex! is a surprisingly layered comedy that takes some serious and compelling emotional turns. Jennifer Tilly (Bound, Bullets over Broadway) plays Tara, a straight woman who's something of a den mother to a circle of friends, most of whom are gay or lesbian. While she tries to get pregnant with her new boyfriend, her friend Vincey (Mitchell Anderson) finally meets a guy he likes, an artist named Buzz (T.C.?Carson), only to bring him to a dinner party where Buzz hooks up with Javi (Eddie Garcia), who has recently discovered that he's HIV positive. Meanwhile, Sarina (Cynda Williams from One False Move) has just learned that her lover, Megan, has slept with a man and runs into the arms of Robin (Lori Petty, Tank Girl, A League of Their Own). The movie takes story lines that could have been soap-opera clich?s and rescues them with clever but realistic dialogue and strong, surprising performances. Over the course of the film the characters grow increasingly genuine, giving some of the twists in their lives an unexpected emotional impact. Relax...?It's Just Sex! didn't get much of a release in theaters, perhaps because it's a sympathetic, realistic portrayal of gay men and lesbians, including some graphic sex. The transfer from film to video has marred the cinematography, giving the film a somewhat fuzzy image, but don't let that put you off from this refreshing, funny, and moving film. --Bret Fetzer
