Confessions of a Sexist Pig

I had the pleasure of seeing this film, by accident, at a screening at Kodak and was really shocked!!! It was soooo funny!!! Well written... excellent direction and a funny cast. THE SAD JOKE IS... I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FILM DIDN'T GET INTO SUNDANCE!!! WHAT A CRIME!!! Does this film even have a distributor??? Wow, talk about a gem completely "overlooked" by the industry. I only wish I could see it again!!!

Not a film I'd recommend as both the script and acting are of a very low quality, even by predictable romcom standards. The two main characters are both unlikeable for different reasons, the male lead not much for being a 'sexist pig' as the film suggests, but more just for his overall arrogance and one dimensional personality. The female lead is fairly bland and goes from being uptight and sensible to hopelessly in love with 'Mr. Charisma' in a short span of time. Neither have any real chemistry with the other.

The direction seems to take some inspiration from movies like Tootsie, it includes scenes of the TV medical soap which the two main characters star in, so at times we're meant to wonder which scenes are real and which are part of the show. It's not handled very well, however, and is overdone.

Funny, skilled, witty narrative (movie within the movie).

Won the special award in memoriam Rainer Werner Fassbinder at the Mannheim-Heidelberg Filmfestival in 1997 (for best narrative structure). Sandy Tung couldn't believe it himself. yet the jury was right

i was so taken away by the movie when i saw it at the Mannheim Heidelberg Film Festival that we arranged to show it at our student theater her in Darmstadt Germany two years later. (some trouble about the rights at first)

and you won't believe it the director sandy tung took our offer and came to Darmstadt with his family to attend the screening !! and this without major money behind it. (we only paid his ticket in bunk class!!)

he and his wife Farrel (cutter of this movie and NYPD-Blue) are really great people and it was a big fun to talk to them about the film.

Some trivia: He tried to make the film for some years and was turned down once because the then planed lead actor was not considered to be of "star potential". To see the irony here you will have to now that it was BRAD PITT!!!

This is a truly entertaining movie! I have seen numerous independent films and some can be a little slow and boring so this came as a surprise to me. Edward Kerr is very charming as Jack and Traylor Howard is great as Anne. Suffice to say, I was hooked from beginning to the end. BTW, this movie has been released on video here under the title 'Taste of Love'. Rent it!!
