Sex appeal is the story of an high IQ girl who wants to develop an app that calculates how to have sex to win a contest. The typical "gender roles" are switched here- with the female being cold , calculating toward sex and the man being emotional and attached.
The problem with this movie is it really isn't funny and very cringeworthy. So many scenes feature just awful dialogue and writing. The biggest issue here is that the characters don't feel like real people. It makes it more difficult to get invested in the story and makes the 'drama' feel less impactful when it ultimately happens.
That being said the acting is actually quite good. Mika Abdalla absolutely shines as Avery , our main character and gives it her all for what she has to work with. She definitely saves this movie from being a mess along with a pace that keeps things moving along. I wasn't bored with it I just ultimately felt like it needed to be something else.

I'm a sucker for a rom com. This 1 is a bit cheesy but in good ways. Follows the templets of so many others but this is a lil unique. Female lead is really pretty and pulls off the pretty brainy girl.
It's that type of cringe that makes you laugh in a good way.
Teaches great lessons about sex and love, specially about consent.
Would be a solid 7 if it wasn't for the ending, which I didn't like... :(

It's one of those adolescent pop culture films with terrific references to prior films with certain plots that they are discussing at that moment. We laughed a lot & had to rewind to rehear the punchline bc we all laughed too hard. It's cheesy with many predictable moments but worth the watch if you are fans of similar themed films.
Another teen rom/com. It has its funny parts, and makes you feel.
But, it also does what so many Hollywood movies/shows are making a habit of.
Using young 21+ adults to play HS kids with sex/love stories. Trying to normalize HS teens having sex, without using teens.
