An Awkward Sexual Adventure
SYNOPSIS
Wanneer boekhouder Jordan Abrams zijn levenslange vriendin Rachel eindelijk ten huwelijk vraagt, krijgt hij het deksel op de neus: hij is waardeloos in bed. En zelfs dat klinkt beter dan het is. Gefrustreerd door haar onbevredigende seksleven besluit Rachel hem te dumpen. Voor stijve hark Jordan begint nu een wanhopige zoektocht om sekservaring op te doen en elementaire basistechnieken aan te leren. Vastbesloten om Rachel te heroveren, schakelt hij de hulp in van Julia, een berooide paaldanseres die hem inwijdt in de wondere wereld van stripclubs, massagesalons, rollenspellen en SM. Maar hoewel Julia alles blijkt te weten over seks, heeft ze moeite met emoties. Komt het ooit nog goed tussen Jordan en Julia – pardon, Rachel! – of komt het zoals het komt?
REVIEWS
- Tiff.net: sharply directed ... a very funny script ... exceptional cast. And, perhaps unusually for a sex comedy, it's surprisingly educational...
- Variety.com: briskly paced farce does offer a winning performance by Emily Hampshire
- Thetfs.ca: It's funny (at least one scene made me laugh until I cried), sweet, relatable and it feels like a Hollywood romantic comedy. The chemistry between Chernick and Hampshire makes for an extremely watchable comedy.
- Thematinee.ca: This movie is really funny ... well-concieved and well-executed.
- Screendaily.com: Chernick isn't shy about exploring Jordan's endless humiliations and his sexual unattractiveness. Yet he brings complexity and some fresh laughs to nerd-dom with his accountant's-eye-view of life and love.
- Filmslatemagazine.com: uses humor as an instrument for insight ... brought to life thanks to Hampshire and Chernick's offbeat and highly watchable chemistry. Must-sees at the festival.
- Whistler Film Festival: undoubtfully the funniest Canadian sex comedy ever made.
- TheStar.com: Filmmaking sparks and a combustible cast set this rom-com blazing. Packed with randy cheer, not at all afraid to push that 18A Ontario film rating to the limit, Chernick and Hampshire make a grand pair.
