2.0 out of 5 stars A fun period piece, September 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Little Sex [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a fun movie. It really is nothing more than an R rated (and not all that R rated) tv movie. But it's fun, harmless, and amusing. There are definitely worse ways to spend an evening than watching this pleasant movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, thought this move was darling!, November 8, 2001

This review is from: A Little Sex [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Oh pooh-pooh on all you artheads. Yes, the movie's fluffy. Yes it's kind of a big-screen TV movie. But it's a WHOLE lot of fun and I've always just loved it. Who can resist all those wonderful scenes where they play-act meeting each other for the first time? I loved this move and am simply waiting for it to come out on DVD. *thhhhhhpt!*

This review is from: A Little Sex (DVD)

The leads are charismatic, Edward Hermann is good in everything he does. Most importantly, in addition to some decent character-driven comedy, physical and verbal, (remember the scene where Matheson is trying on the wedding rings?) this movie actually sketches out how you move forward from animal cravings to having a loving relationship.

It's not particularly profound, and sure, it feels a LOT like a TV movie.

It sure felt realistic to me, in this one way-- it really did feel like Matheson's character was trying to understand how to love somebody without thinking of himself as some sort of martyr to monogamy. And I did feel like Capshaw's character had some backbone, unlike other female leads in similar comedies.
