Coming Soon

I agree this movie is cheesy, but it is has cult indie movie potential. Don't expect award winning performances or gross 'american pie' humour. It really is a movie that girls can relate to.

Three girls discover their sexuality together in a humorous manner. It is full of high school puns and unreal outfits. But you'll laugh, you'll relate on some level and you'll roll your eyes...a lot. I first saw this on cable t.v. and got hooked.

Ryan Renyolds, Mia Farrow and the soundtrack make this movie a silly 'nothing to do on Sunday' flick. Keep an open mind. You'll be happy you did.

Coming Soon went a long way in illustrating how weird and awkward sex can be for budding women. Stopped significantly short of encouraging or even addressing masturbation as a way to explore sexuality, however, which is too bad. Also too bad is that it played in debutante elite circles in Manhattan - seems like movies with honest or controversial subjects have to play against perfect backgrounds to be seen.

Altogether a cute movie but not quite the revolutionary breakthrough in propelling female sexuality into the mainstream eye that I had hoped to see.

This film is really funny, a great gender twist on a old story cliche, and to top it all off, Bonnie Root is certainly a talent to keep an eye out for! She alone makes the film worth watching IMHO!!!! Her scenes are funny and great!

for the few who went to prep school in Manhattan, this movie is a disgustingly accurate portrayal. and that's all it really is. if you went to Dalton, you'll find it very amusing, as the fictional school is named "halton". oh yes my friends, thinly veiled, thinly veiled. this movie should be watched if 1)you want to remind yourself how glad you are that you're not 17 anymore, 2)you're friends don't believe your prep school stories, or 3)i guess if you went to a normal school and want to see what the snot is all about...you didn't miss anything. Maybe you did if you were filthy rich and you didn't go to prep school. Maybe then, your parents sent you to Putney and you spent your free time shoveling horse dookie out of tables and you're wondering if the day school kids had it easier. Trust me, you were better off shoveling.

"Coming Soon" is a film about a clique of girls who essentially have been sold a lie. That is, the only way to be happy is to get into an Ivy League school, get your wealthy parents to give you anything you want, and be a sexual beast with your trophy boyfriend. What the girls eventually realize is that these goals are completely hollow. The Ivy League does not guarantee your a golden future, money doesn't buy you happiness, and sex without pleasure is cheap and meaningless. Therefore the girls go on a quest to discover the pleasure of life, and learn that breaking the mold is the only way to find fulfillment.

In its execution, the movie relies on "clever" but stilted dialogue, over-simplified world views, giant leaps of imagination, and a very childish way of getting a point across, i.e. ignoring logic.

I am quick to applaud the goals of this film. Women deserve to be just as satisfied as men, sexually and every other way. But the way the movie gets to this goal misses the mark by a long mile. For any serious movie connoisseur who likes movies like Shortbus, Fat Girl, well basically anything covered in IFC's "Indie Sex" documentary, it's worth a viewing. But I, like the main character after her first sexual encounter, was left unsatisfied.
