The dialogue is rancid, the nudity is infuriatingly restrained, and so outside of the under-sexed housewife demographic, this one just won't do enough to get the juices flowing, pardon the phrasing.

Why It'll Be A Cult Classic: Viewed as a comedy, this becomes a completely different film altogether, a barmy soap opera with occasional, bafflingly tasteful sex scenes that's sure to endear it to an entire generation of ironic viewers.

With a few glasses of wine, a tub of ice cream and some knowing friends, this is definitely an entertaining movie and never boring, even if it totally fails at its intent as a serious, sexy excursion.
