A brilliantly written black comedy in the tradition of "To Die For" and "Flirting With Disaster," The Opposite of Sex was worth the wait.
It's a terrific movie.
A truly unformulaic comedy of lust and greed, a farce that seems to write itself, slap-happily, as it goes along.
The De-Dee character subverts those expectations; she shoots the legs out from under the movie with perfectly timed zingers.
You'll laugh, though you might hate yourself in the morning.
For all Ricci's zingers, the actress who gets the most laughs here is Kudrow, who has an amazingly right-on offbeat comic sense and rhythm. Playing a bright, sexually repressed Indiana teacher, she displays priceless timing. [19 June 1998]
Very much like sex. On second thought, make that bad sex. Actually, sexual assault is more like it. It will leave you feeling used, bruised, violated, mistrustful and unclean.
