Ahem...unsatisfying

Warning: Spoilers
It would be nice if Hollywood ever made a serious or at least helpful movie about female inability to orgasm. Won't choose to hold my breath about THAT. And I shouldn't have expected a lot to begin with from what was deemed a comedy. But this comedy isn't even entertaining or funny. The main character Stream (oh my God, who names a character that ???) is annoyingly unfocused, submissive, and dull. Her friends are repellant for different reasons. Her first lover Chad is, unfortunately, all too realistic in his egotistic self-absorption. Henry played by Ryan Reynolds is cute but too precociously self-aware. This film touches lightly on the actual ways a woman can learn to orgasm or might orgasm. But it's all within the context of very superficial and overwhelmingly annoying characterizations. The oversimplified feel-good conclusion of this movie is you just have to find the right man, and it all works out. Maybe so, maybe so, but not every Mr. Right turns out to be great in the sack nor solve your sexual problems, either.
