“Black comedy” is a pretty good way to categorize this film. There are plenty of things to laugh at, and doing so will often leave you uncomfortable. For a movie with “sex” in the title, this movie isn’t particularly sexy. It’s introspective, sure, and there’s an argument for it being romantic, but mostly it’s sad. It’s about two relationships that are breaking down, and that theme carries even through the sexy parts. (Yes, I know, they managed to make a movie where Eliza Dushku has group sex fairly unsexy. I’m impressed, too.)

Overall: This is an interesting movie in that it gave me things to think about. I’m not sure it manages to be “art”, and it’s too depressing to be a popcorn flick, but the characters are solid, and there’s a spark of something there.
