Casual Sex? (1988)

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Lea Thompson ends up with Andrew Dice Clay, which is just about the most depressing ending I can think of.

This is an AIDS scare film, and has thus aged quite poorly. Lea Thompson and Victoria Jackson play two friends with the magical ability to break the fourth wall whenever the screenwriter can't think of anything better to do, who decide to go to vacation at a health spa so they can fuck bareback without threat of any Auto Immune Deficiency. Because gays hate health spas. Then they make the guys wear condoms anyway, and are amazed when they agree.

The fourth-wall breaking is more like Clarissa Explains It All than Annie Hall, and gives the whole film an after-school special feeling, which is weird because no after-school special should ever star Andrew Dice Clay.

I'm gonna come straight with you, because I think we have the kind of relationship where we can be honest with each other. I saw this movie partly because I'm a fan of Victoria Jackson but mostly because I was aware that you can see her naked ass in TWO separate scenes. And it was good. Which was a socially-responsible move on the filmmaker's part, because the only sex that's 100% safe is the kind you practice with yourself.

I think you're just afraid of Andrew Dice Clay's raw sexual power.

The chance to mastur-hate to Victoria Jackson is significantly dulled by the words Andrew, Dice, and Clay.

I watched it thinking Lea Thompson would be naked. How futile that was, especially that Howard the Duck had better Sexy Lea Thompson than Casual Sex had.

Agreed. As a young teenager, I had high expectations for a movie called Casual Sex that featured two actresses I was heavily crushing on back then. Other than a couple of ass shots, I was severely disappointed. So was my weiner.

Just ask Mother Goose.

I remember watching this when it hit video, and just being bored to tears. Though I recently revisited Howard the Duck, I can't imagine going back to this when there's google image search.

Wanting to see Victoria Jackson naked is a concept so alien to me that it may as well be expressed in binary code or something.

It's short and light in tone, so it wasn't a painful experience for me, and seeing Andrew Dice Clay turn into a bizarre caricature of a sensitive man (complete with Christmas sweater!) was weird enough to save it from being a complete waste of time. But that's about all I can say for it.

No kidding. Especially now given her recent comeback as a haggard, lunatic Glenn Back clone.

I found her cute and spunky back in her SNL days. Sure, her voice was grating, but my overhyper hormones didn't care about that.
