Literally just got back from seeing this movie. My girlfriend and I were the only people in the theater. Figures, right?
On the whole, the movie was awfully simplistic - be free, be happy, be yourself, paint each other's naked bodies and all that 60's flower-in-the-wind type crap. BUT...without being my usual too-analytical and overly neurotic self, I ENJOYED it and I LAUGHED. What novel concepts, right??
Right on the money, Mr. Cranky. Way too many dildoes. Apparently other lesbians use them as decorations all over the house, in plants and on shelves like postmodern Hummel statues. I've never owned or used one. I'm not against them per se, but.....i don't know. Maybe I am too sexually conservative. I'm not the most experienced gal on the block. But if that block is crankyland, I guess I might be. This place is crawling with virgins.
Great portrayals of lesbian sex, though, I must say. Very realistic. (They didn't USE any dildoes - apparently they were just ornamental.)
I'm not gonna rave, this wasn't the best film of the year, it's not gonna win any Oscars, some of the lines made me cringe, but I ENJOYED it. Sometimes that's enough, I suppose.
And actually seeing lesbians on-screen doesn't hurt either - a SOMEWHAT realistic lesbian experience - and not the crap you see in Wild Things or on Party of Five or any of that shit.
See y'all later
I gotta go study. Just thought I'd post my thoughts. I can't believe I just used the word "y'all".
