Better Than Sex (2001)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

For such a simple storyline (everyone watching knows exactly where it's going from the get-go), it's a surprisingly entertaining little film. And it's the pair of lead actors without a doubt that completely make it work. You let time pass and watch it again, it has the same effect.. it's just a cute little lighthearted fairytale story that most guys will say sucks (except times when she gets naked).. and most women would enjoy. Only thing a bit awkward is the ending. She's completely set up with friends and the whole life think on the opposite side of the pond.. why would she be ditching it all (we've met and know all her friends) to go live in London? Just cause he's there?. He could be living anywhere, as he's off shooting pix of animals most all the time. Only thing made no sense at all... IMHO.

I think that every boys/mans and women in the world should watch this film...because it 's quite true...and you will learn a lot about the opposite sex;) it's also quite original in the way it is filmed, the interviews...you have a lot of different point of views which are quite representative ...I'm speaking about women's point of view, of course...and i wonder if it's the same for boys. it may be not famous but it's worse to see it, believe me! Watch it either in couple or with friends...it doesn't matter as u can speak about it together! I've seen it with a friend, we had a lot of fun...than I saw it with my boyfriend, it was interesting...

This film is simple in plot line---the growth from a one-night stand of a relationship that is expected to end as one party has to leave in a few days---but manages to build the characters with a mixture of soliloquy, quick comment from friends, reaction to fast sexual progression, and so on. It gives the feeling that it was once a stage play, but does not suffer for this. It has a few amusing weird bits, like the taxi driver. It is no blockbuster, but it is well-acted, well photographed, well scripted, has an interesting ending, and is generally warming, while succeeding admirably in making you see the characters without seeing their appearance.

Since you will have already read the plot by now, let me just say this movie was a lot of fun! I rate it much higher than the other folks on imdb.com The taxi driver, the refrigerator scene, and the final airport scene all brought big smiles to my face. Not a movie for the kids - see it with a close friend.
