Review of Young People Fucking (2007) by Melissa A — 25 Apr 2010

In the movies, intimate scenes from the seduction all the way to the blissful orgasm are often made to seem effortless. In this film, five stories are told about young adults who are all faced with various complications that inhibit, no matter which way you want to phrase it, one simple goal: to f**k.

Iâ??m not sure which storyline I liked best as they were all pretty amusing. The first date story was typical with the male playing the role of a womanizer, but the harsh realization that the so-called player is not immune to being played was great! The threesome was hilarious since it seemed that the act of eating actual food was more of an aphrodisiac then seeing his girlfriend with another man. I liked the how some of the relationships were filmed showing the awkwardness and clumsiness in scenes especially the friends with benefits as well between the long-term couple who wanted to spice up their bedroom activities but had no idea where to start. I also enjoyed seeing both sides of the coin with the exâ??s story where itâ??s not always the woman who is unable to move on, but the man realizing his feelings run deeper than just a booty call.

This was a good movie, and i'm happy to see Canadians are stepping up and not shying away from being a little risqué like our neighbours in the USA or even some ground-breaking world films that are also not afraid to push the limits. It was a little overboard with the vulgarity but overall had a charismatic cast and definitely something different to watch. Although you can try harder to find some deeper philosophical meaning to what this film is really all about, the title couldnâ??t have been clearer.
