Movie Reviews of The Opposite of Sex
Movie Review: The opposite of sex.
Summary: 4 Stars
Christina Ricci is wonderful in this early movie. Some reviewers have criticized the performance of Lisa Kudrow, but I thought she added greatly to the story line.
Summary of The Opposite of Sex
Christina Ricci had a great year in 1998. The young actress continued to cast off her youthful image from the Addams Family movies and made a big splash on the independent movie scene, especially in this scathingly witty comedy in which Ricci has the central role. Here she plays Dedee, a buxom, sexually precocious teenager who's pregnant, cynical, and looking for a volunteer father for her unborn child. This takes her to the home of her gay half-brother (Martin Donovan) whose current lover (Ivan Sergei) becomes Dedee's latest target for seduction. That's just the start of the mischief that Dedee so masterfully orchestrates, and Lisa Kudrow (from TV's Friends) is also on hand to deliver some of the movie's most quotable dialogue while fending off the affection of a local policeman played by Lyle Lovett. If all this sounds rather sordid, rest assured that the movie's got a warm heart (well, sort of) beating beneath all of its sharp-edged sarcasm. Writer-director Don Roos (Single White Female) injects most of the movie's appeal and humor through Dedee's voice-over narration, which constantly reminds us that even the most familiar movie clich?s can be cleverly overturned. As a result, The Opposite of Sex is the opposite of boring. --Jeff ShannonA ruthless sixteen-year-old escapes her rotten Louisiana life, to the suburban Indiana home of her half-brother Bill, where she proceeds to seduce his live-in boyfriend Matt, steal $10,000 and lead a cast of devious characters on a cross-country chase toLos Angeles.Los Angeles.
