Thoroughly enjoyable, if you know why you're watching.

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2019)

As many have said, this is not a "sex movie." I don't need to rehash the same notes on an older movie, but I will say that my husband and I both enjoyed it, and we rewatch it each year around Christmas, when it airs.
I wouldn't even be writing a review, except that today is the first time I've ever scrolled through the list of actors / characters, and I noticed something that bothered me a good deal: the listing of "Rowdy College Kids..."
Seriously?! Rowdy college kids? Try "homophobic, misogynistic creeps!"
These "kids" clearly assaulted the male lead character in a verbal and physical way, because they assumed he was gay, and as they were walking up to him, one was describing, loudly and in detail, a more-than-likely made up tale of sex with a woman who apparently "couldn't get enough." And all the other "kids" laughed riotously along.
Dismissing these jerks as "rowdy college kids," even in something so banal as a list of characters from a movie just seems incredibly short-sighted.
I wonder if this is how Stanley Kubrick saw these characters when he was making the film? He put them in there for some reason. And it wasn't flattering for them. Can't believe he'd dismiss them so gently.
