Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

When you review a movie, you have to struggle with an old philosophical concept. Whatever reality is, we all experience it individually. And that experience is filtered and shaped by our differing intellects and emotions and upbringing. Which means the world seems one way to me and another way to you. S o, how can I tell you if a movie is good or if you should see it, when the movie I see isn't the same the movie you see? It's quite a problem. However, there are times when bridging that divide is simple. When the stark nature of reality is so unmistakable, so undeniable that there can only be one way to understand it. Casual Sex? is just such a thing. I only need to write 4 words and you will know whether this is a movie you will be at all interested in or not. Those words are… Lea Thompson gets naked.If the idea of ogling one of History's Cutest Women appeals to you, you'll definitely want to give Casual Sex? a look. I f not, you can probably give it a pass. Unless you're a Victoria Jackson completest, that is. This is "That Role" for the Saturday Night Live alumnae, the role she was born to play, the role she is better in than anything else she's ever done.Thompson and Jackson play two friends, one promiscuous and one scared of sex, who both find themselves abstinent. One because she's scared of sex in general and the other because she's scared of AIDS. But they've had enough of the chaste life, so they head out for a week at a health spa. The movie that follows can only be described as a girly sex comedy. Though it got an R rating back in the late 80s, it's tame even by those standards and today, it could almost fit on the ABC Family Channel. The ladies spend their time lusting after hot guys and being lusted after by the not-so-hot of the male sex. One of those not-so-hot is the infamous Andrew Dice Clay, playing a G rated version of his New Jersey horn dog stand-up act. Clay is memorable for showing us he can act and for demonstrating that men did not wax themselves back in the 80s. He's basically a walking carpet when he takes his shirt off.Among the other notable things about Casual Sex? is the look back it gives us on the horrible fashions of the Reagan era. I know people love to rip on the 1970s, but the bad, music video influenced clothes of the 80s are a sight to behold. It's also interesting to watch a movie where the opening credits are nothing but words on a blank screen, instead of the mini-movies they've become today.Even though the "sex=death" atmosphere of the late 80s is clearly what inspired the filmmakers, they stay far away from that theme for the most part and settle in to tell us a mildly amusing tale of Victoria Jackson's character becoming comfortable with her own body and Lea Thompson's character…well, she really doesn't learn much of a lesson or resolve any issue. She's darn cute though.Feminists, however, should be warned about Casual Sex?. Even though it's directed by a woman and was written by women, the movie still believes that all it takes is the right man to solve a woman's problems. There is an alternate ending to the film that's more politically correct, and watching it makes the real ending to the movie seem even more odd.Ultimately, though, all you need to know about Casual Sex? is those previously mentioned 4 words. If you see this movie sitting on the shelf at your local video store, just remember those words and you'll know exactly what to do.

Dice Clay proved he was more than just DICE. Lea Thompson showed that she could do comedy & that she looked so good on a nude beach. I read someplace that when they first tested the film Lea & Dice did not get together as in the final version. The test audience wanted the unlucky Dice to get the girl in the end. I totally agree that ending would have been dumb if it just ended with DICE back in NYC alone. It needed to happen. All in all it was a good 80's flick. I still watch it when its on TV. For you tv version buffs, the TV edit has more scenes with Lea & Victoria outside of Lea bedroom after she makes it with that bad actor wannabe. Do I smell a directors cut?

This film is not all that bad as critics made it out to be. Some situations are fairly funny, the story takes wild turns and more importantly, it is Andrew Dice Clay's best performance to date in a non-Dice character. The movie came out on DVD in May 2001 and I had to buy it. I watched it before on VHS and only because Dice was in it and I've gotta tell you, not only I wasn't disappointed, moreover, very much impressed.The story focuses on Stacy (Lea Thompson) and Melissa (Victoria Jackson), two best friends. So girls just wanna have fun but at the same time are searching for something more than just a one-night stand. They go to a health resort to try their luck among health nuts and just plain weirdos. That's where Stacy meets Vinny, aka the Vin Man (Andrew Dice Clay). "I'm the best from the east, I'm a wild and crazy beast, I'm the Vin Man!"Of course, Stacey dismisses him as just another brainless dick. Not so fast, fruitcake. Turns out that the lewd, crude, tough macho exterior was hiding an insecure little puppy. Vinny reveals his sensitive, vulnerable side and before you know it, he's the most likable and memorable character in the movie. Andrew's performance is amazing, you can really see his character development; he's an arc. There's a scene where he almost makes you cry.So when the story begins to switch back and forth between Melissa's whirlwind romance and Stacy's attempts to rid herself -- and her apartment -- of a wannabe rock star, you'll find yourself missing Vinny and a little disappointed... but not for long. Just wait until Stacy gets that letter... :-) You'll now see a very different, extremely endearing Vincent Falconi.Behind the X-rated nursery rhymes and sexist jokes Mr. Clay sure can act if/when given the right role (like most talented actors!). Remember that you heard this from me first. The Diceman is destined to make a Travolta-style comeback...

Very light, very superficial "comedy" about Thompson and Jackson at a singles resort. After seeing Clay's stand-up act, I was really blown away by him in this. His "Vin Man" is the best thing in this movie, and one of the most memorable characters in any 80s-type movie. I still didn't like the movie, but he was fun to watch.
