The Opposite of Sex - 1998 * *


You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be offended.
Another film on my list of movies that people always seem to talk about that I have to see.
Christina Ricci plays DeeDee, a trampy and sexually promiscious teenage who, after fighting with her mother goes to stay with her gay brother and his boyfriend Matt. Before long she has seduced Matt and is pregant with his child thus causing them both to leave the home of her brother. Lisa Kudrow turns up as Ricci's brother's sister in law to offer support and annoyance at the situation.
The whole film is gritty and nothing like I had imagined it would be. In my mind's eye I saw it as some kind of comedy but it is anything but that.
