The sexes battle it out

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2001)

This film gives a realistic look at sex and relationships. The deli scene was one of the more telling portraits of female duplicity I've seen yet. It pointed out perfectly how astute women are at faking orgasm, which I feel is not a sometime thing but happens on a regular basis. Most men are just like Crystal's character in that their line is, "women don't fake with me, I could tell if they did". What arrogance! Women are masters at the art, and a man cannot always tell. They put on an act of ecstasy to either please their partner, or to get something from him, because women basically hate sex. The sex act is the female's most deadly weapon, one that in the end, however, is easily defeated if a man simply uses his head. Which, of course, most males are unable to do - we tend to let the little head do the thinking in such situations. This allows the man to be easily led and manipulated. This wasn't a bad film, a little slow and dull in spots but very lively in others with good performances by all the players.
