Good concept, poorly executed.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Better Than Sex shows that love really conquers all in life.People may try to feel that they are only sexually attracted to one another but they later on realize that this attraction is much more emotional rather than physical.Also,it also make us realize that people may find someone not only who can make them happy in bed but also in real life.This movie also tells us how relationships are whether they are a one-night stand or a serious one.It makes us realize the difference between the two and how two people fall for one another upon meeting each other at night.With regards to acting,Susie Porter did a very good job and so did her partner.Also,the film was very realistic in its presentation.

Spoilers herein.This slight project has little to recommend it, except wonder at its reason for being.But that is enough for me. See, the reason behind such a project is that the sexual charm of a woman - a certain woman - is an accelerating capture. Once some level of familiarity is breached, rapture is inevitable. An old idea, to be sure. The only novelty is in how it is presented, which is primarily a matter of what charm and what woman is displayed. And that's what makes this so intriguing because Susie Porter is an unusual siren. Assuming that she is not Teplitzky‘s lover, she was selected because she has something leverageable in this department.And that's what intrigues me, because indeed I checked this movie out because I had seen Porter in an other film (`Paradise Road') and she stuck to me. In that, she played a perky Australian Nurse, cropped hair but red.Here she is blond - presumably to emphasize her skin, which features as a character in itself. This is an actress who acts with the upper bridge of her nose as focus. (Every actor has a single focus.) The rather shocking thing is that she has none of the attributes one normally associates with sexy actresses: she has a chunky build, weak eyes, an unsubmissive poise. She doesn't move gracefully. Her smile doesn't match any of the previously established cinematic patterns for appeal (something that, for instance is the sole asset of Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan).I think the strategy here is frank directness. She spends a good part of her time looking at and speaking to the camera. There is a detached observation, emphasized by many sessions of sex where we hear her thoughts, and others where the talk is undetoured. Her girlfriends and even the taxidriver, re-enforce this.Its funny. She didn't do it for me in this project, where it is the point, but she did just that in a film about women prisoners of war. Go figure.The movie has one nice touch - the opening. The whole story is about the guy getting captured, and that opening shot is of him on the first morning with his arm stuck under her rather appealing neck. This neck, by the way features in the other very nice shot where it flows down her entire back while she plays the piano. That one shot - if you already know the neck - may make it worthwhile for those wondering about triggers in film appeal.Our hero is a photographer, so he would think in this way.Incidentally, her apartment is Shaker-sparse. A frank environment.I have seen half of all the films Fireworks Pictures. I always find their wonderful logo the best part.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

True, this movie did make you feel as though you'd had indulged in reading the forbidden secrets of the opposite sex via some skeezy mag ( ieCosmo / Maxim ), but it was refreshingly honest, and grotesquely intimate. I like how up close and personal the camera gets..... celebrating every glorious flaw.The cheezy backdrops during the mock interviews and the disappointing use of the taxi driver were minuses, but the accurate and equal argumental voices given to both the male and female was a crisp break from the "sex and the city" type shows out there that propagate the weak and ugly male and the insecure and scheming female stereotype.Recommended.

This is the third time i have seen this film, and i absolutely adore it :). It's so fresh, sexy and real. I would just crawl into the cinema seat, with my love and simply enjoy it. :) The photo session of the film is the one of the best, okay, they don't use such a camera and scenes to produce such shots there and then, but i don't care, it mixes great i think. The fact that both Josh and Cynthia is so usual gives the film an authentic look. :) Great sex scenes and the usual differences between man and woman on display. :)
