Movie Reviews of The Opposite of Sex
Movie Review: Cutting Wit, Good Cast (and, even a funny "Friend")
Summary: 4 Stars
Christina Ricci is marvelous as the sarcastic narrator of this witty, sly little film. Although the plot has a few not-so-plausible glitches, in my opinion, the cast, including Lyle Lovett and Lisa Kudrow, make the film a worth-while endeavor. Some of the one-liners in this movie are lost if you only give it the once over. It's comedy that remains true to the characters; its character sketches that are worth fleshing out; and its multi-dimensional so it satisfies the audiences who may view it multiple times and discover tid-bits they missed the first time around. Intelligent and engaging, it should have found a broader audience; it definitely has a broad appeal. It's not only worth owning, it's worth loaning to friends and family who may, just by looking at its packaging overlook it, but will watch it because you asked them to. They'll thank you later.Movie Review: Good little film...
Summary: 4 Stars
I had to write a response to the previous reviewer's complaints about Johnny Galecki's performance as a gay man. Yes, he's over-the-top and, yes, Hollywood needs to make films with gay men that are less stereotypical. But, you can't deny that guys like Galecki exist and he certainly is not a sympathetic character to begin with. I know lots of queens like him and felt his performance was true to that. Now, off the soapbox...lol. If you like funny, disturbing films and aren't offended by unusual themes or strong language, you'll like this. Ricci is great and Lisa Kudrow should have been nominated for an Oscar. She finally nabs a role that lets her get away from the ditzy Phoebe-type characters she's slowly becoming typecast in. She's great, as is the cast as a whole. If you liked 'Go' or 'Election', you'll like this, too.Movie Review: A pretty good dark comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was quite funny. It's nice to see Christina Ricci being in a more normal movie, seeing as how she is normally playing a depressed gothic person. This movie is about a teenage girl, Deedee (Ricci), who goes to live with her half-brother,Billi, who is a homosexual. Soon, Deedee steals Bill's boyfriend, Matt, and he gets Deedee pregnant. As a result, Deedee and Matt run away to Vegas and get married. While Bill and Lucia (Lisa Kudrow) try to track the two of them down, many funny things happen along the way...but I'll just keep my mouth shut and let you be suprised. You should go see this. However, if people cursing a lot offends you, maybe you wouln't like this movie very much.Movie Review: Why does it always have to be about the sex, Why not Shampoo, I want a good Shampoo!
Summary: 4 Stars
WHat I like about this movie is its corkiness and Its able to take things to another level of an in your face black comedy and its unbashful way it stereotypes its characters. The movie after a while just drags and gladly waiting for it to end but my rating is solely on one scene that I hold close, It's when Lucia( Lisa Kudrow) and her deceased brothers' lover ( Martin Donovan) have a conversation about sex and her brothers passing of AIDS. That dialogue was so original and a light way of approaching the AIDS topic not done in any other film with a PUnch, of course.Movie Review: This is a cool movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
Intelligent, funny, attitude. What more do you need in a movie? I loved the irreverance to the audience the twisted story line but most of all the movie unexpectedly brought up many of the questions about love, sex and relationships we all probably have floating around in our heads. Watch it with a beer, watch it on your own or watch it to see whether Deedee's ideas about 'straight' men's reactions to gays is right. Ricci has certainly grown up since Mermaids and the Addams Family. Its nice seeing TV stars get a chance to act too.
