Best movie ever!

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Ken Kwapis directs this comedic drama using an ensemble to reveal the hopes, fears, lies, secrets and heartbreaks of several people whose lives actually intersect by way of shared sex partners. There is the whimsy, compassion, sympathetic and power of sex. A young prostitute Lorna(Azure Skye)seems to be searching for the difference between sex and love; finding that sex is very illusionary and at the same time a neccessatity and a deal breaker. Is sex stronger than those ties that bind? Can sex really substitute for a long goodbye? Along with the cute and overly affectionate Skye is: Carla Gallo, Tom Everett Scott, Elizabeth Banks, Steven Weber and Anne Heche. Strong sexual dialog and situations with nudity earn an R rating. Not out loud funny, but entertaining.

I usually enjoying choosing a film rental which does not tout big-name actors. Fresh faces & talent breathe new life into the medium. "Talent," however, is key. "Sexual Life" certainly has ambition, but the ambition never gets out of the gate. The narratives remain superficial; the acting is not of a high caliber. The film was definitely over-edited.With 9 characters, one would hope that a film entitled "Sexual Life" might explore something more than boy-on-girl sexual relationships. Yawn! There is one gay character, but he is on screen for 3 minutes, sharing a dinner with Anne Heche's character.Azura Skye shows promise here. She should have received top billing.

The idea of the film seems to be inspired in Max Ophuls' "La Ronde", that classic French film that showed how much life is inter connected, which in itself was based on Arthur Schnitzler's play. The theme has been explored in other films, and it probably was what the director of "Sexual Life", Ken Kwapis, wanted to explore.Each person we watch from the beginning, has something to do with someone else, and so on. Sex is what seems to hold these people together. We start with the high priced prostitute and end up with her. In between we get to see how a group of young Los Angeles residents having sexual encounters that are the basis of their coming into each other's orbits. Sex seems to be not a big deal with them and nothing is forever, as we watch them going in their own ways to a new relationship without any guilt at all.The cast assembled do a pretty good job in their different portrayals. Azira Skye, as the prostitute has some good moments. Kevin Corrigan, Anne Heche, Shirley Knight, Fionnula Flanagan, Kerry Washington, Tom Everett Scott, James Legros and the beautiful Elizabeth Banks, do excellent work under the guidance of Mr. Kwapis."Sexual Life" has a great contemporary look. While sex seems to be what consumes all the parties in the movie, it makes for a good excuse to watch some of the best young actors working in movies today having fun.

Just follow's various people lives with the focus on sex. No clear message, no life changing outlooks. Pretty ordinary, yet mildly entertaining. A bit of truth came out in the fact that not many of us have perfect sex lives, no matter what our circumstances. But again, no noticeable messages to take home with you.Acting was not horrible either, but no one stood out. Think I spotted the guy from Grounded For Life in the second scene. Not really much else to say about this one, other than don't expect much except to maybe pass some time.Didn't hate it... but won't remember it after today.
