Avis à la une
The writer and director, who also had a hand in the movie, ' Autism The Musical, hasn't made anything else for the last twenty or so years......hardly surprising.
On paper the cast are pretty good. On film, they all stink. The writing is wooden and unbelievable. The relationships are implausible. Sex has never seemed so 'by the numbers'.
I have no idea what the point of the movie was, wasting the first half hour with the drunk guy was a poor start. Avoid.
If you're looking for character driven film making, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
If you are a Sean Young fan you will not want to miss this – it is a much better role for her than most. You would never guess it by searching her movies by their viewer rating (93rd). I'd rank it in her top 10 best movies. It takes advantage of her comedic abilities, her dramatic abilities, and her quirkiness.
"Men" is also a total misleading title. There is not a real man in the entire lot of partners she takes on. It's all just a bunch of losers using each other for misguided -- or unguided -- gratification. Stella's "friends" are boozers and losers and abusers, but of course she is, too, and the best thing to say for the lot of them is that they deserve each other. Character development is zero; nobody grows up, never grows in any direction. Plot is nonexistent; a series of porn scenes does not make for anything resembling cinematic story-telling. And the characters (and the talk-talk-talk) become increasingly bizarre and sordid. All this makes the final true-love-and-heartbreak seem out-of-place, a parody of sorts.
All in all a totally dull and pointless something-or-other. Certainly it is not a movie worth watching.
