Ms. Magazine | Opposite of Sex In her latest book, Sex Is Not a Natural Act, (Westview Press) she points out that Western industrialized society is in love with the scientific method--to the detriment of our sex lives. In Tiefer's view, sex can be ecstatic or boring, but it can also be something in the middle: a way to comfort others, to find relief from the drudgeries of our lives; an affirmation of our ability to please someone else, as well as an affirmation of our own desirability. The visibility of sex in the media and its influence on how we understand sex is only 30 or 40 years old. www.msmagazine.com /aug99/sex-oppositeofsex.asp   (3060 words)

#5: The Opposite of Sex Sex was the topic on every American's lips in 1998, a year when even our President weighed in on what counted as "sex," pending whose lips were where. Homosexuality is prime fodder for many of Opposite's jokes, but Bill himself is not a joke, and the world he inhabits, pastel-colored and unmetropolitan as it is, accepts his sexuality almost casually, at least until their sympathies are manipulated by the entropic forces of farce. All this, but for the interventions of The Opposite of Sex's final major protagonist, and she is not just Roos' crowning achievement, she is a front-line candidate as the year's most indelible character. www.nicksflickpicks.com /oppsex.html   (1775 words)

Film: The Opposite Of Sex Roos is getting nothing short of critical raves for The Opposite of Sex, his hilarious take on the effect one sexually precocious 16 year old (played by Christina Ricci) has on a gay household. Part of the charm of The Opposite of Sex is Roos' ability to meld so many different styles: the film is equal parts soap opera, screwball comedy, romance and sitcom, with more plot twists than Sleuth and Deathtrap combined. What it's saying is that sex matters, it's also saying that it counts who you sleep with, it's a life-changing act. www.montrealmirror.com /ARCHIVES/1998/061898/film3.html   (762 words)

The Opposite of Sex DVD Review As a result, The Opposite of Sex is the opposite of boring. The Opposite of Sex, (a Christina Ricci showcase), pulls off an almost impossible trick - it's a gleefully irreverent piece of political incorrectness that is never mean-spirited - indeed, as much as it would pain Dede, (the Ricci character), to admit it, the movie has heart. On the surface, "The Opposite of Sex" has the standard love story movie elements with characters engaged in the process of discovery and revelation. www.dvdsense.com /item/0767821009   (978 words)

What really endeared me to "The Opposite of Sex" was Roos' ability to toss political correctness out the window and deliver a film that is both entertaining and challenging. I'll probably add "The Opposite of Sex" to my top ten list at the end of the year, it's that good. www.lightviews.com /oppositeofsex.htm   (1230 words)

Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: The Opposite of Sex Ah, sometimes I really enjoy being a thick skinned liberal, and The Opposite of Sex, which slanders almost everybody in one way or another, is one of those times. and though the opposite of sex promises, in its advertising, to offend, it is a very funny an ribald flick. So, unless you're a thin skinned PC fanatic, or a homosexual or born again Christian or Kinko's employee or teacher or single straight girl or Jew or Southern White trash type the odds that you'll be offended are slight. www.crankycritic.com /archive98/oppositeofsex.html   (659 words)

The Shrubbery -- Movie Review -- The Opposite of Sex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) It was a rental (came to your local indie screen in May of '98), so don't go looking at the box office for it. The Opposite of Sex stars Ricci as a white-trashy "punk" teen from Louisiana, who runs away to her gay half-brother's house (Martin Donovan) in Indiana when her step father dies. Also, it's not a chick-flick, it's more of a "GenXer," which means you and all your buddies can watch and giggle all you want at the skimpy outfits Ricci wears and no one will think you're a unsensitive pig. www.theshrubbery.com /1198/movie3.html   (496 words)

The Opposite of Sex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) This week, in Don Roos's insufferable The Opposite of Sex, we're harangued throughout its smarmy, pseudo-hip shenanigans by the smug asides of Christina Ricci, who's fast becoming the Monica Lewinsky of indie cinema. In short order she seduces Bill's dumb but studly lover Matt (Ivan Sergei) and sets off a series of misadventures whose contrivance is exceeded only by their bad taste. Incapable even of maintaining its fl-comic, anarchic pose without slipping into hypocritical sentimentality, this film proves the opposite not only of sex but of everything else that is passionate, spontaneous, human, and fun. www.bostonphoenix.com /archive/movies/98/06/18/THE_OPPOSITE_OF_SEX.html   (194 words)

The Opposite of Sex Christina Ricci gets all tarted up and says nasty things about gay men in The Opposite of Sex, a self-consciously scabrous comedy from Don Roos, the guy who wrote Single White Female, Boys on the Side, and the ill-advised Diabolique remake. From square one, The Opposite of Sex is absolutely infatuated with itself, having 16-year-old DeDee Truitt (Ricci) comment on everything that happens in voiceover. In the end, The Opposite of Sex is a reasonably well-made, good-natured romp, with a refreshingly unstereotypical gay character at the center of the action and some pointed social commentary. www.deep-focus.com /flicker/opposite.html   (763 words)

The Opposite of Sex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) I've wanted to see The Opposite of Sex for a few years now, ever since a videocassette trailer gave me a taste of its hysterically witty sexual hijinks. Well, the trailer misrepresented the movie, making it seem more of a comedy than it really is. Still, I'm glad I was enticed into watching it; the movie, while oftentimes more serious than I expected, is good storytelling indeed. However, anyone with a reasonably open mind should have a treat with this dark comedy and sexual psychodrama, which is certainly one of the more unique films I've seen in a while. www.rambles.net /opposite_sex98.html   (312 words)
