Harriet Deltubbo I think one of the reasons there is so much animosity against this one is that it is undeniably dated. But it made over $12 million, baby! Two girls go away to a holiday resort looking for a change of pace, hoping to meet some nice men for a change. They discover that they can't find the perfect man, and this forces them to reconsider their attitudes to men in general. The first 37 minutes of the running time are particularly hard to endure. You've got to be a die-hard fan to embrace this one. I thought this was cute and not bad. from an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose.

David_Brown If you love Lea Thompson (And I do), "Casual Sex?" is a must see. It is fair to say, I like it more than most people do. It is about two friends Stacy (Lea), and Melissa (Victoria Jackson), and their hunt for Mr. Right. Melissa succeeds when she meets Jamie (Jerry Levine), But my primary focus is in Lea and the person who steals the film Andrew Dice Clay as Vinny, so I will leave Melissa and Jamie alone. Until seeing the comments section on IMDb, I did not know there was an alternate ending with Stacy ending up divorced and unhappy, while Vinny remained a pathetic excuse for a human being, that was test marketed and rejected. I think that was the right decision. Not only is there a chemistry between the characters, but it fits the context of the film better. Spoilers ahead: What happens is Stacy meets Nick(Stephen Shellen) and he moved in with her. It turned out he was a slacker musician, with an overinflated view of himself "I am going to be bigger than Elvis." Eventually she had to throw him out. At the same time she meet Vinny from New Jersey, who was an arrogant individual who thought he was God's gift to women, and she and Melissa put him in his place. Later on, he wrote to Stacy saying "The Vin Man" needed improvement, so I started dressing better, stopped hanging out and hitting on women." Stacy said: "I'm impressed, deep down he like the rest of us, messed up." Later on, during the Christmas Holiday's, Vinny goes for a long road trip (He is alone for the Holidays (As is Stacy)), and as he said: "I did not realize it, but I came to see you."(Stacy). But she basically ignores him (Probably because of the bad experience of Nick), and as he walked away, she called him back, and he asked if she wanted anything to eat," Stacy said "Everything is closed, but I will make you something." Vinny said "I will make you something." Stacy said "I will like that." Vinny said wait I got you something for Christmas which was a puppy. The next scene is years later, at Christmas, when Melissa and Jamie come over, and while Stacy is decorating the tree, Vinny is tied up by their boys, and Jamie will be getting the same treatment. When Stacy sees that she says" There goes your boyfriend.", and Melissa says the same, the film ends with Stacy saying "Yea, there goes my boyfriend." (With a look of contentment and happiness). As the song comes on "No More Casual Sex Mon." What I really like is the way that Vinny started out as a real jerk, and made the changes necessary, so he could grow as a character, which would allow him to end up with someone like Stacy (Which from a guy's point of view, is a worthwhile goal), but also how Stacy was able to realize this. Thus, overcoming her doubts about not only Vinny, but herself (There is a scene where she mentions being alone to Melissa, and her body language showed how unhappy she was) and still gave Vinny a chance to prove himself (Character growth is usually a good thing, and that is what we saw with Vinny, and the "Happy Ending" is what showed that (Which is why that ending fit well within the context of the movie)). What is also interesting is the end where the virginal Melissa, and the shy Jamie were living with each other, and how the bad boy and girl (Vinny and Stacy) became the married couple with kids. I guess people can tell that I will give "Casual Sex?" a high grade and I do, which is A+. 10/10 stars.

ShadySovereign "Casual Sex?" is one of those movies that will either be totally forgotten over time, or will be slightly remembered. It's a very cute comedy, but it can easily be forgotten if you don't have it on video or DVD (I've got it on DVD).The film has some average performances by little-known actors & actresses. Lea Thompson is very cute in her role, and Victoria Jackson was almost as good (although she was sometimes over-the-top with her character). Viewers will be able to see them both fully nude from their backsides at one point in the movie, but Victoria shows herself in other parts of the film as well.Perhaps what makes this movie really worth watching is Andrew Dice Clay. He gives a really classic performance as "The Vin Man", and he's really funny in some parts of the movie. He looks really cool too, especially when he wears his leather jacket. And best of all, his lines that he says are terrific and sometimes memorable.To sum up, this is a cute-but-average comedy movie. It will appeal more to women than men, but it's a great movie to watch with your partner on a date. It's a very light comedy, so don't expect it to be raunchy. And don't miss Andrew Dice Clay's performance! I give this movie a 6/10.

chainsmoker This film is not all that bad as critics made it out to be. Some situations are fairly funny, the story takes wild turns and more importantly, it is Andrew Dice Clay's best performance to date in a non-Dice character. The movie came out on DVD in May 2001 and I had to buy it. I watched it before on VHS and only because Dice was in it and I've gotta tell you, not only I wasn't disappointed, moreover, very much impressed.The story focuses on Stacy (Lea Thompson) and Melissa (Victoria Jackson), two best friends. So girls just wanna have fun but at the same time are searching for something more than just a one-night stand. They go to a health resort to try their luck among health nuts and just plain weirdos. That's where Stacy meets Vinny, aka the Vin Man (Andrew Dice Clay). "I'm the best from the east, I'm a wild and crazy beast, I'm the Vin Man!"Of course, Stacey dismisses him as just another brainless dick. Not so fast, fruitcake. Turns out that the lewd, crude, tough macho exterior was hiding an insecure little puppy. Vinny reveals his sensitive, vulnerable side and before you know it, he's the most likable and memorable character in the movie. Andrew's performance is amazing, you can really see his character development; he's an arc. There's a scene where he almost makes you cry.So when the story begins to switch back and forth between Melissa's whirlwind romance and Stacy's attempts to rid herself -- and her apartment -- of a wannabe rock star, you'll find yourself missing Vinny and a little disappointed... but not for long. Just wait until Stacy gets that letter... :-) You'll now see a very different, extremely endearing Vincent Falconi.Behind the X-rated nursery rhymes and sexist jokes Mr. Clay sure can act if/when given the right role (like most talented actors!). Remember that you heard this from me first. The Diceman is destined to make a Travolta-style comeback...
