Nice Little Film, Shame About The Title

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2005)

This is the kind of title that in most cases I wouldn't even bother reading reviews for but in this case several people actually told me it was worth seeing so I checked the reviews and figured there may be something in it. All I can say is I'm glad I did. I notice that the bulk of the reviews on the first page of this site concentrate on the leading character and his three male buddies and whilst they were all more than competent/amusing for me the best thing about it was the warmth, not to say gorgeousness, of Catherine Keener who I've seen only in The Interpreter. If you ARE a virgin at 40 - or 14 for that matter -then I can think of no one better than Keener to initiate you into the the pleasures of sexual love. Having said that I have a feeling that this is one of those films that exert a peculiar charm as you watch them - once. I may be wrong but I have the feeling that a second visit may prove disappointing.
