Thirty-seven year old Winnipeg-based accountant Jordan Abrams, a proverbial doormat of a man, has pined after Rachel Stern since he was twelve. He finally got her to be his girlfriend last year after she being a peripheral or not so peripheral part of his life all these years. Now, in a relationship for a year, Jordan plans on asking her to marry him on a week-long romantic vacation they are taking to Niagara Falls. Rachel not only decides not to go on the trip, but dumps him when he, learning that she isn't going, asks her to marry him the day before the trip instead. The primary reason she dumps him?: he's lousy in bed, she not being able to envision bad, boring sex with him for the rest of her life. Rachel convinces him to take the vacation by himself, instead hanging out in Toronto with his college friend Dandak, his return from the vacation when they will talk about the break-up in more detail. Dandak, a sex machine, sees his role in his mending his friend's broken heart as getting him back in the dating scene. Jordan, however, can only think about getting Rachel back, he believing the best way to be a better lover by getting sex pointers from Dandak and to make Rachel jealous by texting her a photograph of him together with a sexy woman. The woman who obliges his sexy photograph request is Julia Bowe, a stripper he befriends. Due to Dandak's changing circumstance, Jordan turns to sexually-liberated Jules also to be his non-sex sex teacher, he in return helping her manage her dismal finances, she who has no concept of money or its management beyond buying whatever she wants. In Jordan and Jules' not always smooth student-teacher and teacher-student relationships, in what ends up being Jordan and Rachel's truncated week apart, and in Dandak dealing with his new situation, each in the collective may eventually come to the realization of what and who he or she wants in life, the further issue being if they can admit these realizations to themselves and the people that matter.
Leave your thoughts about My Awkward Sexual Adventure.
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunA low-budget Canadian sex farce about an accountant and a stripper is full of surprises, all of them good. |
| The GridJason AndersonThe rare sex farce that is ultimately more adult than it is adolescent. |
| National PostDavid BerryMy Awkward Sexual Adventure is a genial and funny, if slightly conventional, date. |
| Canada.comJay StoneDirector Sean Garrity keeps the action moving, but can't rescue the movie from its a tone of part earnest Canadiana, part unexpurgated vulgarity. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohWith its borderline NC-17 sex and not a little wit, this indie rom-com from Canada puts a refreshing new spin on the boy meets bad-girl trope. |
| User ReviewGeorger PBest Canadian flick in a while. Lots of laughs. |
| User ReviewJairo AVery good film well thought out like most other films you can guess what's going to happen in the end but still enjoyed it and is very funny |
| User ReviewDeclan OI'll never look at cantaloupe the same again... a naughty and entertaining romp ;) |
| User ReviewMark AGreat movie! This is not really x-rated, but a must-watch! |
| User ReviewSteve AGreat movie. I really can't imagine improving it and I'm a judgemental asshole. Seriously it's a gem. See it asap. Emily Hampshire is a major talent and Jonas Chernick is the kind of Tom Hanks type that should be in constant demand. A well-paced and endearingly infectious script will make you laugh throughout while relating to the characters and genuinely liking them as people. This is the kind of movie that the big Hollywood names yearn for but will never make because the LA machine would fill it with debilitating cliche's trying to make it into a "star vehicle" and crush it's soul. |
