A paper-thin script that is by turns fatuous and emotionally fraudulent.

The bulk of the film rests squarely on its leads and both Porter and Wenham are winning and appealing.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 21, 2001

With remarkable grace, [Teplitzky's] actors balance the competing demands of candor and whimsy, and the result, while not unforgettable, is charming.

Runs out of impulse and falls back on glibness.

At times, Better Than Sex feels like Last Tango in Paris, with all the grunting and animalistic behavior but none of the raison d'etre.

| Nov 16, 2001

Absurdly threadbare.....Supposed to be darling, of course, but it's mostly a stream of flat, pedestrian or nauseatingly cute talk.

| Original Score: D+ | Nov 10, 2001

It could be funnier, sharper, more probing, but at its best it is sexy, and that's always something to celebrate.

| Nov 10, 2001

The director and actors get away with this fluff thanks to the nimble, whimsical way it's played.

| Nov 9, 2001

Continues for 84 minutes, short for a feature but too long for a commercial. And Mr. Teplitzky lacks the big-screen savvy to fill the surplus footage.

Full Review | Nov 8, 2001

An irresistible Australian romantic comedy that celebrates the life-affirming magic of sexual pleasure.

| Nov 6, 2001

Writer/director Teplitsky has a great eye for detail and often manages to say a lot by saying very little.

| Nov 4, 2001

It doesn't quite live up to the title, but this little Australian import will leave you feeling satisfied.

Demonstrates why sex rarely makes a good spectator sport.

Full Review | Oct 29, 2001

Funny and honest in tracing the way in which lust can trigger emotion even if it's not supposed to be part of the plan.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 27, 2001

The movie's only redeeming qualities are its stars, David Wenham and Susie Porter.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 26, 2001

This is refreshing: a sex film that actually thinks that, for the most part, sex is good fun.

It's nice that Cin and Josh are free of hangups and neuroses, but too bad that their healthy, cheerful attitudes make them phenomenally boring.
