Review of Young People Fucking (2007) by Vmedia Berkeley Ca. S — 16 Jan 2009

Young People F---ing. Canadian filmmaker Martin Gero's very funny and insightful feature debut is far less shocking than it sounds most of whom haven't even seen it would have you believe.

It shares the same sketch format of 20-something and 30-something couples working out various love dilemmas.

The only difference here is that one of the couples is a threesome.

So we have Aaron Abrams (who also co-wrote the screenplay with Gero) and Carly Pope as The Friends, the aforementioned kissers who decide to take platonic to a new plateau.

Despite the formula format, there are a few surprises, along with a practical demonstration of the best kind of music for f---ing.

If you're looking for porn, you've come to the wrong place. There are a few bare breasts, a couple of bare asses, one naughty strap-on and that's about it. The nation's moral fibre remains intact.

If you're looking for a good time and a little wisdom, then come right in.

It should be on DVD - but don't expect Blockbuster and the mainstream outlets to carry this title.

Vince.
