Sexual Life (2005)

Sadly Over-hyped

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The acting in this movie is really good.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I liked this movie so much, it should be a continuing show on Showtime with these characters evolving. I especially like how the story subtly opened the characters' "truths" with sparing dialogue. The movie's pace was excellent, I avidly anticipated the succeeding scenes. The material was fresh and handled well. Acting and writing, cinematography and directing were all excellent. The depiction of sex so realistically without anything crossing into exposed flesh was less than seen on Californication, one of the great Showtime series. I was happy to find this gem on Showtime, albeit 3 or 4 years after it was made. The only change I can think of is to give Lorna the nickname: "Cookie" and she can figure out equally annoying nicknames for those who call her that (ha ha).

this movies was so bad in so many ways but let's start with the end. it has no ending...they tried i guess to give it an open ending...but they failed...miserably. The short stories have no salt and pepper..no spice....nothing to make them special...the characters are flat...trapped in a box of little imagination and bad acting... because the actors really don't seem like real people, it's like bad theater: everything is staged, no real emotions, no real situations, no real conversationsand i guess it's also the scripts fault...that brings nothing new...nothing special..nothing original...

I usually enjoying choosing a film rental which does not tout big-name actors. Fresh faces & talent breathe new life into the medium. "Talent," however, is key. "Sexual Life" certainly has ambition, but the ambition never gets out of the gate. The narratives remain superficial; the acting is not of a high caliber. The film was definitely over-edited.With 9 characters, one would hope that a film entitled "Sexual Life" might explore something more than boy-on-girl sexual relationships. Yawn! There is one gay character, but he is on screen for 3 minutes, sharing a dinner with Anne Heche's character.Azura Skye shows promise here. She should have received top billing.

Just follow's various people lives with the focus on sex. No clear message, no life changing outlooks. Pretty ordinary, yet mildly entertaining. A bit of truth came out in the fact that not many of us have perfect sex lives, no matter what our circumstances. But again, no noticeable messages to take home with you.Acting was not horrible either, but no one stood out. Think I spotted the guy from Grounded For Life in the second scene. Not really much else to say about this one, other than don't expect much except to maybe pass some time.Didn't hate it... but won't remember it after today.
