Review of Sex and the Single Girl (1964) by Christian M — 05 Jul 2008

Oh my god. This movie is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Maybe it's just because I'm watching it from a modern-day perspective, but really, how else are you supposed to watch a movie? The fact is, it just doesn't stand up against the test of time.

Plus, it's rather disgustingly sexist. It's obvious that this movie is a satire against feminism. But also, bizarrely enough, it's a satire against consumerism? Oh, and it's a random musical, like so many comedies from the '60s.

But the best (or worst part, depending on your POV) is that the climax of the movie is a 10-PERSON CAR CHASE that lasts for almost 15 minutes. Which leads me to believe that the true moral of Sex and the Single Girl is this - "Women are all sex-crazed nymphos, easily misled, and need a man to keep them in line.

And also heinously bad driving is A-OK." Watch this movie with friends and feel free to talk during. It's funnier that way.
