4.0 out of 5 stars Means to an end, January 25, 2008

By

Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sex and Breakfast (DVD)

Though many will avoid this little film because the title and DVD cover suggest a mindless mélange of sexual encounters, those who can get past these flaws will find a well written (Miles Brandman) examination of young people's concepts of relationships and how to keep them. Brandman also directs this stylish charmer and has at his disposal actors not usually associated with a more serious type of story.

James (Macaulay Culkin) and Heather (Alexis Dziena) are young, attractive and in love, though Heather is finally able to confide in James that she is unable to achieve orgasm in their otherwise satisfactory sex life. Ellis (Kuno Becker) and Renee (Eliza Dushku) are another couple whose intimate life has lost its sparkle. Each of the couples (who have never met) hears about sex therapist Dr. Wellbridge (Joanna Miles) who supports the concept of group sex as a means to strengthen relationships grown stale. Each couple meets with the doctor, reveals their insecurities and fears and Dr. Wellbridge arranges a 'session' for the two couples to share an evening of intimate interaction. How this 'change' alters each couple's relationship is the message of the film: some surprises are in store that are unsuspected.

Yes, there is comedy here and yes, there is thoughtful dialog, but the pleasure of the film lies in discovering the expanded acting abilities demonstrated by these four young attractive actors. The film may not be deep, but it does entertain and it most certainly has some useful information about love and relationships we all need to know. Grady Harp, January 08

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, January 23, 2008

By

Zoe Marr - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sex and Breakfast (DVD)

If you're looking for quick thrills, cheap shots, and sex scenes, this movie isn't for you. Despite the subject matter, there's a considerable lack of nudity and sex. However, an interesting cast breathes some life into a mediocre script and this film delves far more into depth and character study than sexuality. Two and a half stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pointless indie flick, July 1, 2009

By

Westley (Stuck in my head) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Sex and Breakfast (DVD)

Two Los Angeles couples struggle with relationship issues in this indie drama. James (Macaulay Culkin) and Heather (Alexis Dziena) seem to have a good relationship, but sex problems have developed. Ellis (Kuno Becker) and Renee (Eliza Dushku) live in a trendy loft and also seem happy, but sexual boredom has started to creep into their lives. The couples attend a workshop by a sex therapist, who suggests that sex problems can be solved by opening up relationships to group sex and multiple partners. The two couples agree to this plan, although each of them has at least some reservations.

"Sex and Breakfast" is relatively well acted and the four main actors are all likeable and appealing. However, beyond that, the movie is pretty pointless. The two couples' relationships aren't explored in enough depth to maintain the movie or make it interesting, and the "psychology" presented in the movie is ludicrous. The therapist uses (and misuses) a lot of seemingly meaningful jargon, but there's no basis in reality for anything she says. In addition, the sex scenes are brief and not very sexy. Some people may find it interesting to see former child star Culkin doing sex scenes, but that novelty definitely isn't enough to carry this movie. "Sex and Breakfast" isn't a bad movie, just dull and pointless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting...
This movie was odd but yet a little interesting. It really wasn't what I thought it would be from the write up when I purchased it so the write up isn't accurate. Read more
