Trouble With Sex

    Saw this last night in the UGC.

    It's a smallish Irish made film concerning a young lawyer Michelle (Renee Weldon) who lives and works in Dublin. The film chronicles her up and down relationship with Conor (Aiden Gillen).

    Now that the plot has been outlined, let the ranting begin. This was one of the worst films I've seen for a long, long time. The dialogue was very poorly scripted, the acting woeful, the directing terrible and the editing very shoddy. I think it was going for stylish and sexy, but it just came out as drab forced. The sex scenes were awkward, clunky and each time one came around (and it was often) this creepy music started playing which gave me the impression that one of them was about to die or get maimed somehow....
    They tried to deal with too much, parental influence, love struggling beyond the class level, the effects the economic boom has had on the irish people and women's sexual liberation. all in 100 minutes.

    seriously, stay far away from this. the one thing i'll give it is that it has some unintentionally hilarious moments ("i have a big, large, juicy bonus for you"), but it really isn't worth you hard-earned cash!

    *rant over*

    anyone else see it and agree?

    Is it so bad it's good? I have a thing for Irish films where the actors fail miserably at being "sexy"!

    it was pretty funny in parts i have to admit. they were working their little cotton socks trying to make it as slick as possible, but it in no way worked! have to say some of the sex scenes were hilarious, the faces they made were rather inhuman. if you must go see it, make sure you have a jar or two first to enhance the comedy!

    good dramas are hard to pull off.
    We need to start from scratch.

    /me calls for some Irish zombie movies

    hell, we could make a zombie movie, we could surely get enough boards muppets to be zombies.

    Nothing beats a cringe-worthy, period pain-inducing Irish film, dodgily shot on some crappy digital camera with unflattering lighting, untalented ugly actors, and a script that seems as if it was written in 20 minutes during a coffee break.

    I'm sooo going to see this!

    yeah, I agree. This film wasn't very good. I barely watched it, the script was pretty poor.
