Product Description

 
Sixteen-year-old Deedee runs away from Louisiana to live with her half-brother Bill, an English teacher who happens to be gay. Lucia, Bill's sexually-repressed best friend, distrusts her. These suspicions are confirmed when Deedee lures Bill's boyfriend into bed and talks him into stealing $10,000 from Bill and running away with her to Los Angeles. To make matters worse for Bill, his bitter ex-lover frames him for sexual harassment, causing a scandal in their quiet town. This forces him and Lucia to go on a wild chase in search of Matt and Deedee in order to clear his name. They are joined by Sheriff Carl Tippett, a friend, who begins to fall in love with Lucia. A black comedy about what people must go through in order to find "the opposite of sex" - lasting, committed, and loving relationships.

Martin Donovan and Christina Ricci in The Opposite of Sex (LGBT W/O)

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Opposite of Sex is a movie that amuses you on the surface, then annoys you. You really have to work to get past the annoyances.
Review: Summary

Christina Ricci plays a bitchy, bossy, scheming, and bigoted 16 year old, and the filmmakers try to figure out how to make us like her.

DeDee Truitt (Christina Ricci) is a tornado. A one-woman destructive force, she lies,...

Sex: recreation or procreation?

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2000
Review: Actually, the movie justifies both (Look at above title). Scripted by Don Roos, the movie seems to constantly expect us to categorize the characters into "love" and "hate" lists, even if we weren't even thinking of doing so. Christina Ricci puts up...

The Opposite of Sex --- An interesting dark comedy that is quite quirky

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: It's recommended because there aren't many films out there like it, but it may not appeal to all fans of film.
Review: The Opposite of Sex is supposed to be a scathing comedy (according to its tagline), but isn t quite as provocative as it would like people to think. The film is presented from the point of view of Dede Truitt, a 16 year old girl that has just...
