Háblame de sexo

Though I would not think of watching this film at the theater, it's not all that bad critics made it out to be. Some situations are fairly funny, the story takes wild turns and more importantly, it is Andrew Clay's best performance. Behind the x-rated nursery rhymes and sexist jokes he can act if given the right role (like most actors!). He is the only true "Good" thing about this movie and steals every scene. Remember this: years from now when another Tarantino-esque young director has his way, Andrew Dice Clay will be given a juicy role and make a a-la-Travolta comeback.

I think one of the reasons there is so much animosity against this one is that it is undeniably dated. But it made over $12 million, baby! Two girls go away to a holiday resort looking for a change of pace, hoping to meet some nice men for a change. They discover that they can't find the perfect man, and this forces them to reconsider their attitudes to men in general. The first 37 minutes of the running time are particularly hard to endure. You've got to be a die-hard fan to embrace this one. I thought this was cute and not bad. from an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose.

Witty comedy that may not solve the dating problems of the 80's...but does offer a lighter look at what happens in the dark. Also, a slightly tamed look at the "DiceMan," which turns out to be his best screen work.

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.

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.
