Social Intercourse

This perky little party comedy has something for everyone. My wife and I picked this film up accidentally (the box artwork resembles the steve Buchemi film "Living in Oblivion") and found a great film. We particularly enjoyed the bickering husband and wife. Low budget, you bet...but if your in the mood for something a little different, light hearted and clever, you should check it out.

This is, by far, the worst movie I have ever seen. And it's not bad in a funny way, like other movies you might show to your friends at parties. This movie is bad in a sad way... like you get embarassed to be watching it. The acting is the worst I have ever seen, partially due to the fact that the casting is way off. The costumes don't match the characters at all. The lead guy's hair-do is the grossest white-man jerry-curl I have ever seen. Somebody should have made him cut that before a single take... but as you see on the crew list... there is no hair-dresser to be seen. There is a very watery plot at work here. The guy lost his girlfriend, she is getting married, and he is going to some party. The party never looks like a party and you keep thinking, "How did any of these people end up being friends?" They are all so varied across the age spectrum... it looks like a company party for The Waffle House.

I could go on and on about how terrible this movie is... but I am stopping now. My advice is... don't waste your time or money on this one, no matter how much into indies you are.

this movie is just dead terrible. the female on the cover(and on the dvd itself) is not in the movie. they just placed a very attractive picture on the cover so schmucks like me would rent it. it worked. but dont let yourself be fooled as i. the actors are all too old for the parts they play, the dvd has horrible quality, and the acting is plain horrible. is the "witty comedy" enough to overcome that? sure, if you think badly delivered chess and role-playing puns are witty comedy. avoid this movie at all costs.

I love indie films, budget has nothing to do with it. In fact, most large budget movies are horrible now days.

Man oh man, this movie!!! How in the hell did it get in the video stores? I just saw "American Movie," a documentary, low budget indie movie that was incredible. .

But Social Intercourse, the acting was TERRIBLE. . I mean really bad, the story had potential, but that's it. As far as a great party movie, well, sorta. .we watched a movie called, "Black Devil Doll from Hell" at a party and it was a hit. . but that's because it was so damn bad.

I must be missing something.

Todd (Steve Taylor) had a bad break-up about a year ago. As a computer programmer at work and an online fan at home, Todd has become something of a recluse, for he's still at a loss to explain his loss. Therefore, friends "drag" him to a party hosted by other great folks. But, will it make a difference? The men at the party congregate and talk about the ladies invited while the women, some shy and some snooty, pick apart the men in close proximity. To add insult to injury, someone is water-bombing the crowd with balloons. One man gets so tipsy he climbs out a window in his underwear while a married couple engages in a non-stop argument in front of all the rest. Is there a nice woman at the party who will turn Todd's head and visa versa? This very cerebral study of the "singles scene" has some sharp observations and funny moments. None of the cast is familiar but do quite well as the mixed up gang; Taylor is especially good. Since the scenery is almost exclusively a house and its yard, there's not much to write home about in settings but the costumes are great. Congratulations should also be extended to the director, for keeping the viewer interested in an endless but riveting conversation. If you like indie films, wit, and analysis, SI is for you!
