If the script is dubious, the direction matches it. The cast is less directed than exploited.

With the late 1980s sensibility, their sex conversations are peppered with the girls' finding their own identities in relationships with men outside the sex act. Is it mature? Yes. Is it funny? No.

Time Out

After a variety of sketchy farcical/romantic complications, the movie settles for a rather sentimental epilogue, but it remains surprisingly engaging.

...a perpetually sluggish comedy...

Casual Sex? is a casual mess. It's casual in that it is shallow, uninvolving, superficial and leaves no lasting impression, and a mess in that it's ... a mess.

Rated: 1/4

Only the "Vin Man," a beast from the East named Vinny and played as a macho send-up by comic Andrew Dice Clay, lightens up the proceedings.

Its take on female sexuality is rare and appreciated. Is it a flawed movie? Yes, Is it fun? Also Yes.

A sinopse parecia mais interessante do que a propriamente o filme o foi, sem graça, sem sal, beirando entediante, nem mesmo carisma e química das duas lindas protagonistas me convenceu, parece que faltou química os romances, abordagem não foi lá muito encantador...

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

It's lightweight viewing that's not going to challenge you in any way or offer all that many laughs, but there are some funny moments, and it's ability to have mature conversation and a refreshing ending are something to applaud.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

If you are a fan on 80's movies with adult humor it is worth watching. Been a huge fan of Victoria Jackson since SNL.
