Roland E. Zwick The provocatively titled "Love, Sex and Eating the Bones" is a tale about sexual frustration involving a man addicted to porn and a woman with a decidedly more conservative view of making love. The curious twist is that it is the woman who wants to get down-and-dirty in the sack and the man who finds himself unable to rise to the occasion.Michael is an aspiring photographer who works as a security guard at a local parking garage. Jasmine is a successful ad agency executive who has sworn off both men and sex since her last abortive relationship two years ago. The two find themselves falling in love with one another but hit a rocky patch when Michael turns out to be impotent - at least when it comes to having to perform with a flesh-and-blood human being."Love, Sex and Eating the Bones" starts off as a sub-par, utterly conventional romantic comedy, but just when you're about to give up on it, it takes a daring and much appreciated detour into some previously unexplored territory. This is the first film I can remember to feature impotence as a major plot point and the first to acknowledge the detrimental effect that pornography can have on real-world relationships. That the film does so in the context of a romantic comedy in no way diminishes its value and, in fact, makes the topics more palatable and approachable than they might otherwise be. Moreover, the film is blessed with two extremely likable stars as its protagonists, Hill Harper and Marlyne Afflack, who tackle the tricky subject matter with charm and grace. Some may see the humor in the film as vulgar and crude at times, but I tend to think of it as realistic, accurately capturing the ways in which couples talk and deal with one another in the modern world. This turns out to be a better film than one might initially suspect.

caseyjwolf i liked this movie a lot.it takes a young man who has been maybe overly steeped in the porn view of sex, and can't get off without it...but is still a real person who loves a real person and is pretty conflicted about this.real person number two is gradually turned right off that person one isn't really making love to _her_...and this is how they work it out.a lovely look at young men and women and some of the obstacles they face in finding real intimacy. but wait! it's pretty funny, too.two thumbs up!

Jawsphobia Pleasantly surprised and a little jealous. There is nothing cloying or PC about this movie. It is totally entertaining and manages to be both blatantly Toronto-set and immediately identifiable to Anywhere, USA. The actors are well served and the apparently writing is quite funny. The directing and editing have style without any loss of the emotional arcs involved. Definitely for the young audience of early Kevin Smith. It means that some of us have to work a little harder on scripts that touch on similar subject matter. I have to admit it is good, although the title might have put off a few people - it is the only element that may be too arty for its intended audience. I especially like the skateboarder scene, and I am not a fan of skateboards. (It's not showing off skateboarding skill, it's the context; very true of those of us in Michael's profession too.)

vagrantfilms Love, Sex and Eating the Bones, should not be as good as it is. With the recent crop Urban, Black Romantic comedies and Dramedies, By all rights a film like Love, Sex and Eating the Bones could have easily fallen flat like recent efforts. But this film delivers in the smartest, sexiest and funniest ways. Veteran short film maker and documentarian David "SUDZ" Sutherland makes the transition to features with the ease. Love, Sex and Eating the Bones, embraces the cliches and plot points of a paint by number romantic comedy and infuses them with a love and humour, that could make this film a sleeper breakout worldwide hit. Take this as a tip if you are looking for a must see film, this really, is it!!
