Quotes:

Gary Tucker: I don't know why I had sex with Tipper Gore.
Dr. Beth Noonan: Gary, you dream about having sex with everyone. It's why you're here. It's one of your problems. Why should it be so strange to dream about Tipper Gore?
Gary Tucker: Well, I'd like to think I had some standards.
Dr. Beth Noonan: Tipper Gore is a very attractive woman.
Gary Tucker: She's not my type.
Dr. Beth Noonan: Oh. So being a sex addict does not preclude being sexually discriminating?
Gary Tucker: No, er... yes, absolutely. I mean, when I see people on the street, I only undress those that I find attractive. Now granted, on a street of fifty we're talking maybe thirty-five, but I'm working on that. I just can't help it... I... I don't know why I love sex. I love genitalia. I especially love genitalia, and the tongue. The tongue... hoo, what can you say about that? It's miraculous. It's God's greatest contribution to mankind, if you ask me.
Dr. Beth Noonan: Gary, do you think, maybe just part of the day, you could think about other things?
Gary Tucker: I do. Breasts. And that... that fold of skin at the top of the thigh.
Dr. Beth Noonan: That's not what I meant.

A horrible piece

This movie had all the necessary criterion for a great piece, and I was really looking forward to watching it. It had a decent plot and a very well known cast. Unfortunately, I was horrribly disappointed. The script and the development of the characters were just terrible. The characters were shallow, and I had a great deal of trouble developing any interest in their lives. I had to turn it off midway through one of the stories because I was so bored. I never ended up finishing the full series, because I simply lost all interest. I really wish I could have seen something a little better from this cast and plot.
