I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
When you go see this film, you almost certainly know what you are going to get. However, my expectations of being low were conquered by an above average story and is decently uncliched. But my main problem with My Awkward Sexual Experience is the characters. They lean too far one way so it tries to tug at your emotional strings and this try-hard approach is too cringe worthy for a really pleasant viewing experience. This film almost works perfectly, but the things that fail this film almost take it down. Characterisation and poor decisions by the filmmakers are almost devastating, but are saved by how original and different the storyline and plot are.
Upon reading the synopsis for this film, I wondered if this would end up being another one of those movies with lots of boobs and no actual story line. My netflix queue was looking pretty sad, so I figured I would give MASA a chance. The awkwardness began with the very first scene. We are introduced to the feeble protagonist who verges on unlikeable. However, as the film progressed something interesting happened. I began to look forward to those awkward moments, and even started rooting for the protagonist. This film was well written, intelligent, and funny. The way the writers addressed sex was wonderful, managing to be blunt without seeming gratuitous. In addition to great writing, this film was blessed with wonderful actors. I would definitely recommend film.
This film is about a man exploring his wild side with a stripper, after his girlfriend dumped him for being to mild.Despite its title, "My Awkward Sexual Adventure" is more a romantic comedy than a raunchy comedy. It shows how a socially inept man trying to learn his skills to charm the ladies, with hilarious effects along the way. The girlfriend and the stripper have their personalities portrayed well, making a decision between the two is not difficult! The plot is explicit, with lots of kinky elements to help Jordan explore the wild side. The explicit sexual references are handled quite well, as they are presented at the right time; and do not come across as too contrived, in your face or gross. "My Awkward Sexual Adventure" is fun to watch.
I thought this might be edgy and new, a sort of non-commercial indie masterpiece, but instead it's just a stupid frat movie. It plays up on every cliché you could think of. The plot is basically this, loser guy gets dumped by his horrible, mean girlfriend and then desperately tries to get back with her, during the course of which he meets somebody else and ends up realizing that he's in the love with her. Apart from the horrible plot this also has a terrible script, the jokes are what you might expect to find in 90s joke books and the emotion aspect of it is so bland that you end up rolling your eyes through the "serious" bits. The characters are empty, and don't really evolve much from that. In short, it's stupid, you might enjoy it if you like such movies (American Pie, Van Wilder type) but if not, I'd recommend you avoid it.
