Predrag This is an all around fun, fluffy, surprisingly tame movie. The title is a wee misleading, as there is mostly talk, and not much actual sex in it. (fortunately) This movie is tame enough for most teens and young adults. The humour is derived from the experiences of two very different single girls and what happens to their lives after an eventful summer vacation. Free-spirited Stacy (Lea Thompson) and her timid best friend Melissa (Victoria Jackson) each know the unique joys of casual sex "This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I remember when it was actually fun to say, "Wow, that really felt great! What's your name again?". But when Stacy starts reading stories about the growing fear of AIDS, she ponders the loose way in which she has governed her sex-life. She and Melissa pack up and head to an exclusive health resort where they start exploring the idea of settling down with the perfect Mr. Right.While Lea Thompson, Victoria Jackson & crew are excellent, Andrew Dice Clay steals this movie hands down! I have not been a fan of his. In fact I have never seen any of his shows, but he was marvelous in this movie. Based on the book by Wendy Goldman and Judy Toll, "Casual Sex?" is one of those classic 80's comedies where everyone seems to remember the movie poster, but not the film itself. That's a real shame, because the film still offers valuable opinions and ideas about dating and sex in a world where those activities hold very real dangers. That said, the movie is still hilariously funny, with Thompson and Jackson both incredibly talented actresses who totally engage the audience with their thoughtful performances.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
soranno Lea Thompson and Victoria Jackson portray two lonely ditzes who take a vacation to a resort that is almost completely inhabited by young sex addicted men. The women are desperate and find themselves willing to give in to the demands of sex addicts. Absolutely lame and the script offers no new surprises.
flimbuff This is a much better movie than I expected and is very well done with some witty dialogue and good performances by all.Thompson and Jackson play two young women from with different sexual experiences who go off on vacation to find love.Andrew Dice Clay is surprising good as the guy who turns to be the love of Lea's life without either of them expecting it.Not "hokey" at all and the sexual inuendo is far more adult and funnier than you usually saw in the "teen or young couple" flims of this era.
budikavlan Movies like this never win awards, never top lists, are never hot topics around the water cooler (do people ever have powwows around water coolers in real life?). This is the kind of movie critics like to cite as evidence of the decline of Western Civilization, because they make easy targets: they don't change lives, and they have few defenders. But, leaving aside Western Civilization for a moment, I want to say a word for the underdog. I watched the tape today, and was struck again by my happy mood after watching it. The story is featherweight, the acting likable if sitcom-ish, and the ending is as sweet as you could ask. Andrew Dice Clay's performance is indeed surprisingly good, and the occasional forays into real dialogue about "the mating game" touch on real issues. "Casual Sex?" won't change your life, but it's a pleasant way to spend a few hours. If you care what the snobs think, just don't tell them.
