Up late talking games & writing? You're...

Film: Number three in our SIFF series, Young People Fucking is a sex comedy from Canada, made up of short segments featuring a variety of different couples: First Date, Friends, Husband & Wife, Exes, and a MMF Three-Way.




By far, the most hilarious sequences were of the Husband & Wife. Suffering from bedroom boredom and a lack of communication, the truth about what's going on in each of their heads comes out and things are brought to a happy ending thanks to a ribbed red strap-on. (the Husband's face during the reveal is CLASSIC.)


The Three-Way bits were nearly as good, being completely absurd and off the wall thanks to a voyeuristic boyfriend and his cookie dough fetish.





First Date started off okay, but the story went off track and failed to nail the ending. Friends was sort of awkward (although it had a few of the best lines in the movie) and Exes was just... depressing. Watching two people with distance between them tried to reconnect while denying that they're trying to reconnect served to kill the good humor the other segments kept building up, and I wouldn't have minded if they had skipped trying to inject this comedy with a little bit of drama.


Overall, the movie had more than a few genuine laughs and a lot of the observations and commentary from the writers were spot-on. I don't think it's going to end up as a cult classic, but it was definitely worth watching and came off as a modern, somewhat more mature entry than the usual teen-oriented, apple-pie-flavored sexcapades. Recommended.





(and BTW, the film isn't nearly as graphically explicit as you might expect from the title. Porn, it ain't, though you couldn't be blamed for thinking otherwise.)
