The new movie “I Want Your Sex” was another example where I was tricked into seeing a bad movie for this blog due to the high reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I am at a loss as to how a movie this bad could be getting any good critical reviews. I also wondered if this film had anything to do with George Michael’s 1987 hit song – which it did not.
“A young man lands a job working for a controversial artist, only to become an unwilling participant in a dangerous game where he is her employee and at the same time being coerced into being her unwilling sexual experiment”. This movie is supposed to be some kind of dramatic comedy, but there is nothing funny here.
The owner of an art studio Erika Tracey(Olivia Wilde), creates insane sexual art, including one involving a drawing of a female private part, where both customers and employees stick gum on the drawing, the hardest-to-believe exhibit in this movie. Erika hires Elliot Bell (Cooper Hoffman) as one of her employees, and almost immediately this relationship degrades into coerced sexual experimentation that Erika forces on her financially challenged victim. There are meaningless side stories that include Elliot and his very angry girlfriend, Minerva (Charli XCX), and Elliot’s other female (and equally broke) friend, Apple (Chase Sui Wonders), with several inserted police interview scenes with Detective Zem (Johnny Knoxville) and Detective Zola (Margaret Cho) – primarily to make this 30-minute nightmare film into close to two hours.
This is the kind of film that only shows up in older arthouse theaters, is very low budget, and will be out of movie theaters in about two weeks.
My rating for this disaster is 0%, and a recommendation to shred the DVD as soon as it is released.
