Is Life Really Nothing But Sex?

Rating: 2/10 (11 April 2005)

We meet two interesting characters in the first reel; a stripper who has left the US for London, and an obituary writer who takes her to the hospital when he sees her hit by a taxi. You'd think a movie about these people would be interesting. But moments later, the action has jumped ahead several years. The writer has published a novel based on the stripper's life story, and is being photographed for the publicity tour by yet another interesting character. We never learn the details of the stripper's life that warranted a book; in fact, we never learn much about these characters (or a comparatively dull fourth, who ultimately appears to fill things out). Except that they have an insatiable desire to have sex with one another, talk about it (rant about it would be a better description), storm off, and leave one relationship for another. It didn't make a very compelling story.
