Trailer—A Little Sex

A Little Sex

The main character (throughout this statement referred to as Slick) was definitely a jerk and The flick is dated as hell. His brother, though, gave two of the best explanations of the screwed up male psyche that I've heard (not exclusive to flicks). It kind of reminded me of Roger's comments in "Roger Dodger"(except less biased). The lack of boobies disturbed me because it was a rated R eighties flick. Slick's wife was a little too much of a shrew ( nice rear upper thigh area though). The fellow from 'The Princess Bride' (y'know, the Sicilian) in a buddy role is great. I understand that this movie isn't great, but one has to root for Otter and there is some very good dialog. Scabldeboo!

A lighthearted romp that is lots of fun. Great chemistry between Tim Matheson and Kate Capshaw. One of the early movies that launched Kate's career. I haven't seen this film in a while and am looking forward to seeing it again to see Wendie Malick in one of her first roles.

Excellent film that is full of comedy, romance and a good comparison between being married and single. Michael Donovan, (Tim Matheson) and Katherine, (Kate Capshaw) are a young couple who enjoy the pleasure of living with each other unmarried. Michael has a big problem which is loving the girls too much and far too many one-night stands and therefore is afraid of tying the knot of marriage. Michael and Katherine have lots of fun teasing each other and shocking the older generation with sexy talk while picking out fruit from an open market. One day, out of the blue, Michael asks Katherine if she would like to marry him, which rather took Katherine off guard and she did say, "YES". This is when the story takes on another direction for this married couple and of course, Michael has to fight off all his sexual desires to make love to other women. Tim Matheson and Katherine had great chemistry working together and this made for a great entertaining film to view and enjoy.

Slow moving, cliched story of a man played by Tim Matheson who beds almost every woman he meets until the woman of his dreams (Kate Capshaw) enters his life. Eventually they marry but can he remain faithful to her? Of course he can't. She responds by sleeping with an old friend, he makes a tearful plea on his kiddie show and, well, there you go. The problem is you just don't care. He's childish, self centered and annoying. She is immature and, face it, pretty damned stupid to have gotten involved with and then marrying the guy. "A Little Sex" is now hopelessly dated, produced at a time when casual sex was still considered fun, liberating and relatively safe. How times have changed.

Tim Matheson loves women, I mean, he loves women. Enter Kate Capshaw, his latest girlfriend. She wants to get married, but he can't commit. This might sound like just another excuse to make another stupid and forgettable sex-pic with plenty of nudity. But, actually it's better than it sounds, with very little nudity save for a neighbor who vacuums in the *. Tim exudes his usual charm. In fact, despite his flaws, he is more interesting than Kate Capshaw's character. Maybe, because of his flaws. But the highlights of the picture are his talks with his brother, played by Edward Herrmann (Gilmore Girls, Big Business) on walks through New York. His brother, being a psychiatrist, loves to analyze him and tell him what he's doing wrong. Their rapport on screen is very natural, and their conversations are well written. You really see them as brothers. If you want an enjoyable film with an 80s outlook on sex, look no further. You could do a lot worse.
