Review of Sex and Death 101 (2007) by Brandon F — 21 Jul 2008
There's alot to be said about this film. It shocked even me in a few places with how far it went (see: dead body, and also school girls). But, much like Heathers, the ending is a bit of a cop-out. I wish Winona Ryder had more scenes because she turns in a good performance.
And why isn't Simon Baker a bigger star? He's great fun. The film is overly self-conscious at points, especially towards the end with a self-referential voice-over. I hated the lesbian secretary sidekick girl.
Her voice was so annoying!! Also, the whole concept gets kinda sexist and perverse. That's kind of the point, you might argue though. Well, the exploration of perversion part, anyway. But it's quite entertaining, sexy, original and kinda ambitious, so you can't be too hard on it.
