Sometimes the right actors can make all the difference. Without David Wenham (Boys, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers) and Susie Porter (The Monkey's Mask), Better Than Sex would still be a sexy romp, but it would also feel very familiar. Let's face it: there is no shortage of movies about one-night stands--just because this one lasts three days does not make it original. Fortunately, Wenham (Josh) and Porter (Cin) have chemistry and charm to burn. How they meet is irrelevant; it's what they do--and say--in Cin's loft that counts. There is (tasteful) sex to be sure, but also frank talk; sometimes to each other, sometimes to the camera. Their friends even chime in on occasion, in response to phone calls and gossip about their relationship. In the end, you don't learn anything new about sex, but you do get to know two likable people, for whom you can't help wishing the best. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I bought that movie thinking that it was a sex movie. It ended that it was one with a few sexual scenes but nothing we can call a good sex type movie. I say not worth the money even for a sensual movie.

This film is great fun. Even if you've never had a one night stand, this film will remind you of all the crazy things you said, wanted to say, did, or wanted to do when you were in or beginning a relationship. It has some nice touches--the Greek chorus of friends who add perspective to the situation, and the omniscient taxi driver who "guides" the relationship along. The music is terrific, too.
Format:DVD
I watched this movie for the first time last night. The idea seemed cool, and although I thought it would be another run-of-the-mill low-budget romance flick, it turned out to be one of the best "relationship" movies I've ever seen. It is honest and true (from a male AND a female perspective), with a dash of individual humor. AWESOME!!
Plus, what an excellent acting job by David Wenham, the guy who plays Faramir (LOTR)!

I love this movie!
I didn't come across this movie until it had been out a few years, but I absolutely loved it. It is set almost entirely in the loft of Cin, the female lead. Read more

Great chemistry
Without David Wenham and Susie Porter, this would be an okay film. With them, however, this movie sizzles. Read more
