The Opposite of Sex

Sixteen-year-old Deedee runs away from Louisiana to live with her half-brother Bill, an English teacher who happens to be gay. Lucia, Bill's sexually-repressed best friend, distrusts her. These suspicions are confirmed when Deedee lures Bill's boyfriend into bed and talks him into stealing $10,000 from Bill and running away with her to Los Angeles. To make matters worse for Bill, his bitter ex-lover frames him for sexual harassment, causing a scandal in their quiet town. This forces him and Lucia to go on a wild chase in search of Matt and Deedee in order to clear his name. They are joined by Sheriff Carl Tippett, a friend, who begins to fall in love with Lucia. A black comedy about what people must go through in order to find "the opposite of sex" - lasting, committed, and loving relationships.

    • "...[An] unmitigated hoot....Roos turns every American sterotype...into its opposite and back again with precise comedic timing....[Kudrow] manages to be both ridiculous and endearing, like [the film itself]..." -- Rating: A-

      Phoebe on steroids!

      You can't look at Lisa Kudrow without seeing her as Phoebe from 'Friends' But she plays an excellent role in this film. The plot is excellent, witty... read more »

    Call it a pet project: a movie of the book of the newspaper column about the journalist’s difficult dog. The book was a best-seller in mutt-crazy USA and the movie features Owen Wilson as John, Jennifer Aniston as Jennifer, with Woodson, Jonah and Clyde as Marley, not necessarily in that order.
