Better Than Sex Reviews
Thoughtfully sexy. No sexually explicit shooting, but lots of reflective sensuality; with a sense of humor.
Yes. Not sure whether it was the chemistry of the actors or the quirky take on the story, but this was a good time. Hot without trying to hard, funny without pushing, touching without overstating the drama .
Soft core porn movie about two people who think they know what they're getting into and end up falling for each other. An eye-opening look at sexual relationships and the mating game. Commentary from the couples' friends is a nice touch.
Would have worked better as a short film. Lacked the depth to be a feature film and it showed, as it ran out of steam. Relied solely on the charm of the main characters and not enough on direction and depth.
Nothing new. One night stand turns into love, they fight, they make up, Hollywood ending. Had potential to be original, but then continued on the road more travelled. A few interesting or funny moments, but mostly fairly boring. David Wenham and Susie Porter are OK in the lead roles.
One of those movies which just sneak up on you from behind their unprepossessing blurbs. The essential man-woman story, just done right. Didn't you always wonder how things could have gone if you'd acted on the spark? We've been there, just never thought it would be on screen, and so naturalistic. Susie Porter's really cute, I love the short hair, and just a teeny-tiny bit off in a few of the more intimate scenes, but nothing to detract from what is a lovely story. And I won't give away anything.
A surprisingly good film that looks at the nature of intimacy between two people who have just met. Josh (David Wenham) is a nature photographer, visiting from England where he lives, who winds up in bed with Cin,(Susie Porter) who occasionally creates wedding dresses. They meet at a party and spend the next few days getting to know one another and beginning to share their thoughts and hopes and dreams and their past with one another. Over the course of time, we see them begin to really care about each other. The dialog is unforced and feels so natural, even when, documentary style, the characters are shown speaking to the camera. Rather than distracting, this viewer found the technique to be quite revealing and allowed the viewer to delve into their thought processes. It worked on every level for me. One begins to care deeply for the characters and where they are heading. Beautiful cinematography, a terrific set design and supporting characters who actually support the main story added up to one entertaining film with something to say, and that says it clearly. These are real people dealing with intimacy in an interesting way.
<a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.tinypic.com/ixguwl.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> This movie was simple in plot line. An one-night stand that was expected to end, managed to build the characters with a mixture of feelings and sexual progression. It gave the feeling that it was a stage play. It had a few amusing weird scenes. I guess it was no blockbuster, but it was well-acted, well photographed, well scripted, and an interesting ending, and was warming, while succeeding in making you see the characters without seeing their appearance. Not bad.
A low-budget Aussie flick that is a breath of fresh air and brutally honest re one-night stands, sex, relationships, romantic expectations, and how long women continue to take to get ready.
