Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Liked this movie as well
Review: Despite game attempts by Tim Matheson and Kate Capshaw to generate heat, "A Little Sex" fails to ignite a single spark. With a script entirely devoid of situational tension or even tittilation, the viewer is left wondering why this film was made. When I first saw this movie, in a theater in the year of its release, I would've walked out had I been the one to drive. (I later had the misfortune of producing a cut-down trailer for TV.) I hadn't walked out on a movie since "Juggernaut" in 1974 or 1975. The only recommendable thing about this movie is the fact that you'll be watching it on video and will have something (the tape itself) upon which to vent your rage. You will be in a rage when you've wasted time on what could possible be the most boring movie of all time. Don't believe me? Give it a try, but when you start feeling the life-force being sucked right out of your skull, don't say that ralph@loop.com didn't warn you!

Summary: Actionless and emotionless exploration of sex and marriage.

Summary: Liked this movie as well
Review: I was a young teen when I first saw this film on cable and I really enjoyed it. Sure it's fluff, but it'g good fluff. I loved Kate Capshaw, couldn't stand Tim Matheson (his character was a cheat, so how could I like him?) They had good chemistry and she looks fabulous. I was glad to see it available on tape and snapped it up. Am waiting for the dvd version with hopefully some interesting extras but this is an older film so...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sorry, thought this move was darling!
Review: Oh pooh-pooh on all you artheads. Yes, the movie's fluffy. Yes it's kind of a big-screen TV movie. But it's a WHOLE lot of fun and I've always just loved it. Who can resist all those wonderful scenes where they play-act meeting each other for the first time? I loved this move and am simply waiting for it to come out on DVD. *thhhhhhpt!*

Summary: A little too much
Review: The plot of this movie centers around one of the most ubiquitous of human traits: the male libido. Is it possible for a man in possession of an above-average sex drive to be devoted to one woman? Or will his loins always win out?

Certainly, this is not the 1st movie to address this question. However, typically the best venue to engage the topic is via the Romantic Comedy. Instead, this movie is a drama that takes itself way too seriously. In the end, it comes out being more sappy than anything else.

One of the aspects I liked the least about the film was its glorification of smoking. I realize that smoking is supposed to be sexy & erotic, but I have never got into it. In this movie it simply comes across as dirty & sleazy (much like the plot-line!). I swear that Tim Mattheson doesn't go a single scene w/out lighting up; it gets old really quick.

The one highpoint of the film is Kate Capshaw as the virtuous but betrayed wife. She is certainly very loveable in her role, and the film dates from the prime years of her film career.

If you're looking for a movie with a similar plot-line, but done much better, check out JUST A LITTLE HARMLESS SEX. The latter is also funny, while the present film is bereft of humor. If you pick this DVD up I can almost guarantee that you will be bored with the result.

Summary: A fun period piece
Review: This is a fun movie. It really is nothing more than an R rated (and not all that R rated) tv movie. But it's fun, harmless, and amusing. There are definitely worse ways to spend an evening than watching this pleasant movie.
