A 27-year-old grad student, who is beginning to suspect she's an asexual, accepts a friend's offer to try sex with her own boyfriend.

Frank Scheck

Hollywood Reporter

While its provocative themes certainly bear exploring in our sex-obsessed societal landscape, The Olivia Experiment is too superficial and cliche-ridden to make them resonate, and its attempts at humor fall thuddingly flat.

Los Angeles Times

When it comes to romantic comedies, it's not often to find one that jumps out as categorically different. But "The Olivia Experiment," astutely directed by Sonja Schenk, turns the genre on its ear just enough to feel refreshingly original.

The performances are overdrawn and the writing is facile; maybe the hetero male-jock and faux-lesbian eye candy will be enough for you.

Quirky, awkward, a little perverted, lightly humorous, and sweet. But the ending was weak, boring, and predictable.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
