Better Than Sex

Variety David Stratton

Cheekily diverting, decidedly feel-good, tremendously sexy entertainment.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

This is a small, funny movie drawn from the radical notion that a love born of late-night lust can survive the glaring light of day.

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey

Unpretentious fun.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

It's a good thing Better Than Sex, which is pretty raunchy and absolutely not for prudes, does have more than sex on its mind, because otherwise audiences might be tempted to dismiss it as a tease.

Salon.com Charles Taylor

It could be funnier, sharper, more probing, but at its best it is sexy, and that's always something to celebrate.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak

Wenham and Porter make the film better than it should be.

Village Voice Ed Park

Despite the wall-to-wall shagging in Cin's loft, -- this Three Days of the Condom is less Last Tango in Sydney than "When Harry Met Sally."

Boston Globe Jay Carr

There are many things that Better Than Sex is better than, although sex is not among them. It is better than a root canal, an IRS audit, or a rained-out ballgame.

New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf

Neither sensuously sizzling nor daftly off-beat, Better Than Sex occasionally rises to its own modest occasion by gently reversing our expectations.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

Wenham and Porter are appealing actors, and Teplitzky's depiction of their coupling has an unflinching realism.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

The film's greatest assets are leads Susie Porter and David Wenham, whose considerable personal appeal make its trite observations about the war of the sexes seem charming, at least for a while.

Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones

Little more than a constant and occasionally pretty imaginative sex show.

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

This predictable romantic comedy outing has occasional flickers of ingenuity.

New York Post V.A. Musetto

The movie's only redeeming qualities are its stars.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

Imagine "Last Tango in Paris" remade as a wan, low-budget romantic comedy.
