Sex with Love (2003)
4/10
a boring version of 'Sex and the City' in South America
14 August 2007
It looks to me that the most astonishing thing about this film is that it comes from an area that is dominated by soap operas on the easy side and social dramas on the heavy side of the genres spectrum, but has given very few daring comedies. This is the context where 'Sexo con amor' may look like an innovative thing, but taken out of this context and thrown in a market where 'Sex in the City' is the-day-before-yesterday prime time comedy and daring means 'Shortbus', the film has nothing different to say. A few couples are brought together in discussing sex by the sex education classes of the ... yes ... sexy teacher, and down the road they discuss a lot about sex, those who did not do it will do it soon, these who did it will have an afterthought, etc. The script is well written, but has really nothing important to say, acting is OK with well cast actors doing fair jobs but not really creating any memorable or at least funny character that I may remember tomorrow. The important thing for many viewers in South America may be that this film was made at all, but this is not really a enough reason to go and see it if you are out of its native area of origin.
