Better Than Sex

When Josh & Cin meet at a party and decide to spend the night together, it seems to them like the perfect solution. With Josh leaving in 3 days to go back overseas, what can possibly go wrong? It's one night of sex and they'll never see each other again. What's there to get complicated? It will be fun without all the usual expectations. It's just sex. They both know that. But as their night stretches into another night, what seemed so safe and easy, starts to get out of control. They both find themselves faced with the terrifying possibility that what they really want is... better than sex. But will either of them be able to admit it?

Review

Sometimes the right actors can make all the difference. Without David Wenham (Boys, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers) and Susie Porter (The Monkey's Mask), Better Than Sex would still be a sexy romp, but it would also feel very familiar. Let's face it: there is no shortage of movies about one-night stands--just because this one lasts three days does not make it original. Fortunately, Wenham (Josh) and Porter (Cin) have chemistry and charm to burn. How they meet is irrelevant; it's what they do--and say--in Cin's loft that counts. There is (tasteful) sex to be sure, but also frank talk; sometimes to each other, sometimes to the camera. Their friends even chime in on occasion, in response to phone calls and gossip about their relationship. In the end, you don't learn anything new about sex, but you do get to know two likable people, for whom you can't help wishing the best. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
