I was excited about watching this film after having seen another short film by this same team--FCU: FACT CHECKERS UNIT. FCU was one of the funniest shorts I've seen in a very long time and I couldn't wait to see THE DEFINITION OF SEX.
THE DEFINITION OF SEX is a funny film, but not nearly as much as FCU. Additionally, while FCU is a nice and innocent film, THE DEFINITION OF SEX is a very, very adult film--which isn't surprising considering the title. There is no nudity in the film, but lots of very frank talk about sex that many out there will find offensive or unsettling. The film would probably earn an R rating for this and is a good film for adults who have a twisted sense of humor.
So what did I like in particular? Well, it would have to be the quirky writing as well as the acting by Peter Karinen and Brian Sacca. These young comedians would seem to have a great future as their deliveries and style are just plain funny--somewhat reminiscent of The Kids in the Hall or The Higgins Boys and Gruber. I can't wait to see more of their films--I just hope future ones are a tad more family friendly.
