I can't remember the last time I saw a film with no redeeming features at all. But I will keep a straight face and say why.This was made before 'Sex and the City', so can be forgiven for some of its, cough, more 'challenging'/embarrassing views on sex. (Oh, the groin-grinding scene. Oh). Congrats on being 'racy', but your movie makes no sense.If we're supposed to witness the sexual revelations of two women, why do it in a spa on holiday, why not in their natural environment, where events can potentially be longer lasting? Why does the main character break up with the musician? It wasn't because he was cloying and desperate; it was because...erm...the sex was too good.The boring blonde character falls for the attendant, who has some scenes where he's doing his job and she reads too much into it. This could've worked, but why does he then fall for her? Because the character needs a love interest and she's so crushingly stupid, the movie has to make one up. Got it.The Vin Man: Oh, oh, oh, Vin Man. He's so ridiculous and creepy, I can cope with laughing AT him. But then we're supposed to sympathise with him, to the extent where we can believe that the main character will end up with him and spawn his children. And how are we asked to do this? We a shown that he is a LONELY ridiculous creep.But, but...The monologues suggest that the play this movie was based on was written by two snotty, pre-pubescent girls who had just gone to see 'The Vagina Monologues' and didn't get it. I won't be in a hurry to look it up.Watching something fail so totally as this film was an entertainment within itself.

Near the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, Stacy (Lea Thompson) and Melissa (Victoria Jackson) plan a vacation at a health spa to find a "safe" guy to date and/or marry. Stacy has, as they say, "been around"; Melissa is more of a novice in the world of men. Right away, they run into obnoxious Vinny, who displeases them both and makes them doubt if they are going about things the right way. Things improve. In between classes of exercise, Stacy hooks up with Nick, a spa employee who sings at the social gatherings. Melissa, too, earns the attention of good guy Jamie, a massage therapist. Will there be any obstacles on the path to true love? Of course!This is a genuinely funny movie about sex, told from a woman's viewpoint. There are some great speeches about the mysterious ways of men and women, offered by Stacy and Melissa. Scenes at the spa are both entertaining and lovely to look upon. Then, too, Andrew Dice Clay, as Vinny, gives a performance that sizzles and surprises with its ever-growing sincerity. Viewers who think they've seen every decent romantic comedy will have missed something special if they pass this one by. Hopefully, video stores and libraries will still have a copy of this nice film in stock.

Casual Sex is a good comedy, for women, but I actually enjoyed a few parts. Those parts were all of Andrew Dice Clay, who actually can be a good actor when the time comes around (if not a little sarcastic). Hopefully he can make a comeback someday (if he hasn't already), because these type of films aren't made as often as they used to be. A-

Some films are timeless classics. Others can be fitted into the same category as Casual Sex. I can't say how others liked it when it was first released but it definitely isn't worth the rental. I realize that not many people are going go out of their way to rent it now but beware just in case it crosses your mind. The attitudes, the story line are all quite goofy. The acting, though I really like Lea Thompson, was sub-par. Also the way it tries to act as a moral message for life is just embarrassing. Stay away, this movie feels as tacky as bermuda shorts.
