Speaking of Sex

Melinda is a woman in her late twenties who is struggling to deal with her sexual issues. She has a history of making poor choices in men and is seeking help from Dr. Conrad, a therapist who specializes in sexual dysfunction. However, her journey to sexual fulfillment becomes complicated when she falls for a patient of Dr. Conrad, leading to a series of awkward and comedic situations.

Speaking of Sex received a largely negative reception from critics, with many finding its humor forced and its exploration of sexuality to be clumsy and uninspired. The performances were sometimes praised, but not enough to salvage the film's weak script and direction. Audience reception was similarly lukewarm, with many finding the film to be neither funny nor insightful.

• The film attempts to tackle sensitive subjects with humor but often falls flat.

• Performances are mixed, with some actors struggling to elevate the material.

• The plot is seen as convoluted and the comedic elements are frequently unsubtle.

Google audience: Google users found the film to be a mixed bag, with some appreciating its attempt at a quirky comedy about relationships and sex, while others found it to be awkward, unfunny, and poorly executed.

The film was screened out of competition at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.
