bjarias For such a simple storyline (everyone watching knows exactly where it's going from the get-go), it's a surprisingly entertaining little film. And it's the pair of lead actors without a doubt that completely make it work. You let time pass and watch it again, it has the same effect.. it's just a cute little lighthearted fairytale story that most guys will say sucks (except times when she gets naked).. and most women would enjoy. Only thing a bit awkward is the ending. She's completely set up with friends and the whole life think on the opposite side of the pond.. why would she be ditching it all (we've met and know all her friends) to go live in London? Just cause he's there?. He could be living anywhere, as he's off shooting pix of animals most all the time. Only thing made no sense at all... IMHO.

SCH1984 Since I had seen the "Lord of the rings"-trilogy I know and admire David Wenham. That's why I was so glad that "Better than sex" was shown on German TV now. Being a female I went into raptures at once watching David. He's handsome,sexy and not least a really fantastic actor! But I was rather disappointed about the movie's "flat taste" and in my opinion the movie shows some "porn-character". Nevertheless some elements (for example the scene when David thinks about the cake recipe trying to avoid the climax)were very funny and charming.But I had the impression,that ONLY mimic arts of our two great leads were able to show any slight hints of also other topics than sex. If David Wenham and Susie Porter hadn't done such a fantastic job the movie could have been considered as a lowbrow soft-porn,I guess. You needn't flash over all bed-scenes in a movie especially if sex is the main topic in a story, but I think that in this movie they were just..."too much". At the latest I was shocked about the scene in the bathtub! You may call me prudish and I emphasize that I still enjoyed watching David's nice body of course ;o), but that bathtub-scene (and some other)was rather tasteless in my opinion. I don't like the movie and it's style,but David Wenham-Fans of course will just HAVE TO watch that movie one time ;o)

jbskmr This film is simple in plot line---the growth from a one-night stand of a relationship that is expected to end as one party has to leave in a few days---but manages to build the characters with a mixture of soliloquy, quick comment from friends, reaction to fast sexual progression, and so on. It gives the feeling that it was once a stage play, but does not suffer for this. It has a few amusing weird bits, like the taxi driver. It is no blockbuster, but it is well-acted, well photographed, well scripted, has an interesting ending, and is generally warming, while succeeding admirably in making you see the characters without seeing their appearance.

Ugly Coyote Haha, i should know! but i'd seen everything else or not wanted to see whatever else was there generally, i thought it warn't too good anyway. concept was clever but it seemed to want to be one of those independent gen-x movies, but with more sex. i think i would have enjoyed it more if i weren't sitting there on a first date with a guy i really liked, squirming (which i never do) at ugly people having bad sex. but hey, i guess i deserved it.
