Wrong movie, you idiots

The movie your are reviewing is not the one this refers to. This one is about a woman who falls for the much younger roommate of an author whose book she is editing. She is obsessively in love with the young man and ruins her career and most likely her marriage and life, but that is for the movie to tell you.

If you are in a marriage or have been in an affair and worked it through or having trouble with your marriage... do not watch this. It can bring up a lot of troubling aspects of married life. I heartily recommend it to those who want to see what a train wreck looks like up close.

So, this is not set in Rio and is not stupid. Review the right movies. June 26, 2008

It`s so true!

AFTER SEX is a funny movie about contemporary relationships. Kate (Brooke Shields), divorced, and three girlfriends go to Palm Springs to spend the weekend. In the hotel bar, after many, many, many drinks, they meet new guys and... Well, when the girls come back home, they have to deal with their own feelings and their relationships. The first time I watched AFTER SEX, I thought to myself: "It's so true!" Now, I watch this charming movie time and time again and I'm quite sure they stole my story! (I`m kidding!) The performers are very natural and real. The soundtrack is lovely (specially the song KISS ME) and it goes so well with the action, that really moves me. In this crazy world we live, where things change so fast and everything seems to be "one way", the movie challenges and, more than this, it makes me feel like finding out what comes... after sex.

RUN NOW!

Save your money and invest in a Pet Rock. You'd get amusement from it than you will from this dreadful film. I picked it up at a Blockbuster previously viewed movie sale. Thank god it was only 1.99. And now I know why. IT'S AWFUL. I honestly tried to watch this movie, but I had to fast forward through most of it because of the insipid dialogue and trite premise. It tries to come off as a serio-comic romance, but it's boring, predictable and trite. If you come across it, lie very still and it may just sniff you and leave you alone. If it doesn't, may God take mercy on your mortal soul. September 30, 2002

Serious Spackled With Comedy

I actually really enjoyed this movie--a lot. I throw this movie into the category of the successor to those relationship movies such as About Last Night and St. Elmo's Fire, but with a somewhat lighter tone. I thought the ending was well done. The characters and their situations felt real. I don't want to give parts of this movie away, but there are a few interactions with the guys that I found hilarious.

I wish the DVD had more features--actually, any features. Apparently, they did not want to spend a lot of time to put any of those special DVD perks before they shipped it out. July 23, 2002

You knew it before you see it.

I know everyone who watched this movie wouldn't like to comment on it because of the title of this movie. But I'd like to take the plunge and be the first person to review it.

I accidentaly knew this movie from an ad on a portal site of South Korea, which was Brooke Shields with a cigar. She is famous and popular in my country, so I wanted to watch this for a try.

This movie is for mature audiences, but not so-called an adult movie. You can't expect a stuff except a slight upper-body one. That's usually good for most viewers.

For the content? It's just what men and women are all about for the ages in this movie. You knew it before you will see this. If you'd like to know it, you don't have to know it.

If you have time and nothing to do, it would be an option to watch this movie. But it would be better for you to watch other better movies, if you'd choose to watch a DVD/VHS.

Just watching your familiar actresses will be fine and that's all. I don't know how familiar they are because I can't watch U.S. TV series except very famous ones in my country.

It's up to you how you spend your leisure time. May 16, 2002
