Leave your thoughts about The Opposite of Sex.
| Los Angeles TimesKristine McKennaA brilliantly written black comedy in the tradition of "To Die For" and "Flirting With Disaster," The Opposite of Sex was worth the wait. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorSex holds in perfect tonal balance, and without cynicism, a brew of maliciously transgressive comedy and tender sympathy for its tortured characters, all gripped by terror of love, or sex, or both. |
| TimeRichard CorlissThis is a declaration of love: The Opposite of Sex is the smartest, edgiest, most human and handsomely acted romantic comedy in elephant years. |
| San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonA movie that has an odd plot, quirky characters and a real edge, but it's not in-your-face, a re-invention of a genre or a smirky independent. It's different because it's flat-out great. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzRoos's first feature film as director is a snappy, satirical, and hip sitcom that tries hard not to be a sitcom. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohFor those who like their screen comedy tart, dry and savvy on the distaff side, The Opposite of Sex should be something of a godsend. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe kind of daring feature that doesn't open every Friday at the local multiplex; its frank, sometimes politically incorrect approach towards the act and politics of sex is refreshing. |
| Film.comTom KeoghDedee is a great, entertaining caricature, an updated teen version of a forties-noir seductress and murderess -- Lana Turner without corsets... Ricci possesses a devastating way with a nasty line; she could curdle mother's milk from 30 paces. |
| SlateDavid EdelsteinA truly unformulaic comedy of lust and greed, a farce that seems to write itself, slap-happily, as it goes along. |
| New York Daily NewsDave KehrThe best scenes are of people talking -- and that's not just because the lines are so good. Roos doesn't seem to know what to do with his characters when they aren't blabbing. |
