I'm i the only person who liked this film?


I thought it pretty funny, it could of done with a bit of female nudity - it was just silly really, not much happened, but i suppose that was the point it was making about their lives being boring

Every now and again you see a rating on imdb that causes puzzlement.

While I think some of JV's best work was on Radio I have to say this movie did make me laugh out loud more than a few times and I remember I liked it so much at the time of its release that I bought it a few times as gifts for friends.

I do have my own theory tho' on why the poor ratings. If you look on the back of the DVD there are positive reviews from The Daily Mirror, Star, Loaded magazine and The Times. There is not a mention of The Sun. Which as anyone will tell you in the UK is read by half the population. Sun readers have to be told what they like and what that don't like, so they know whether to worship it or to burn it down. Perhaps there was a bad review in the paper. Afterall Sex Lives was made with some help from Lottery funding through the UK Film Council. Ideal for a front page hypocritical self righteous headline!

I laughed so hard at the 'bees and honey' scene that I almost cracked a bollock.

I thought it was good! I found it funny and LOL'ed at some of the scenes - not as bad as some people make it out to be.

I liked it. It was just a situation comedy, there was no story, the film wasn't trying to give a message or anything. But it showed a part of lives of some friends. I think it was funny.

its felt like a 'modern' version of the Carry On Movies.

Favourite films so far this year:
