Review of Shortbus

Shortbus (2006)
1/10
Just Plain Bad
29 July 2009
An extremely weak excuse for a plot and even more a weak excuse for entertainment. A sex therapist can't have an orgasm. She reveals this to two of her clients who invite her to a place called "Shortbus" where all kinds of sex goes on. The sex is shown graphically, even down to the "money shots" that pornography relies on to pay the bills. The movie is incredibly sad. No one is happy and everyone is a victim. If you like sex, love or intimacy, stay away from this film. It will make you prefer taking a vow of chastity for a more entertaining lifestyle. Seriously, "Shortbus" features scene after scene of people chasing that first orgasm. There is no love, no fun, no caring, no sharing, just orgies, sex toys, masturbation and a pathetic grasping for a drug like euphoria through mindless sex. A lame excuse for a provocative study of sexual proclivities. If romance killing is your cup of tea, rent this film.
