I thought Suddenly Naked was a clever and intelligent piece of film-making. My only real negative was the lead's character development near the end. Things happened too suddenly. I understand and appreciate "moments of realization" but this felt too easy.
Other than this one negative I did appreciate how much was accomplished on a moderate budget. It's a shame how few people are exposed to such works. This film, unlike most, allows the audience to actually think. You consider social barriers and self image. I found myself wondering on the weight I give to opinion of others.
Locations were excellent as was casting. It is difficult to compare this to other films such as Harold and Maude as it is not such a romp. I do think, however, that those who appreciated Harold and Maude may enjoy this film.
I will watch Suddenly Naked a second time. That is the best evidence of how I feel about this film.

I only saw this movie because it has my favorite actor, Michael Shanks, in it. I was surprised to find that the film itself was really superb. the story kept my attention, and the characters were well developed and carried through. coupled with a great script and great acting, the movie came along great. I suggest seeing it if you can.
so yes, it is a tad cheesy, but i don't think you'll really mind all that much.
This movie made me love Michael Shanks even more, and I added a few new actors and actresses to my list of favorite actors.
It's hard to find in America, but feel free to try. it's worth it.

Suddenly naked was supposed to be funny, lovely little comedy, but turned out to be surprisingly bad. Few good jokes, but otherwise too little saying. Actress in the leading role was not that bad, but I was irritated by the way she had to talk or mumble all the time, I guess she was trying to be cool - however, I found it repulsive.
I went into this film on a blind date, not knowing a thing about it -- at first, judging from the title, I thought my somewhat dim-witted date was trying to send me a not-too-subtle message. Anyway, I forgot all about my second-rate date once the movie got going -- the film was great! Often hilarious, and often touching, in just the right places. I was charmed, and want to check out more films by this director (but haven't had a chance yet). Oh yeah, the acting was good, too. Warmly recommended.
Stumbling upon this film was quite a pleasant surprise for me. Seeing the name of Peter Coyote was enough to warrant my time. Little did I know I would be laughing out loud in response to this smart quickly paced dialogue. Slowly but surely the deep-seated vulnerabilities of these over-the-top personalities rise to the surface. I would love to gather a group of friends to view this little "gem" of a film. An endless round-robin of comments and spirited discussion would surely follow.
