Ryan Reynolds is funny, i saw he was in it so i rented it, Ashton Kutchers even in it! i mean cmon! 2 funny ass guys in the same movie, it must have some potential. but no. according to this horrible atrocity of a movie, when a girl is a senior in high school she is ashamed to be one of the only virgins (this i can some what understand) but then, once they lose it and don't like sex they go on a hunt to get an orgasm and try to enjoy sex, in the proses become a super slut, putting ads in the paper to have sex to try to orgasm. THEY ARE IN HIGHSCHOOL!!! CMON!!! this movie made me feel ashamed of poor girls like this. its a sad day if you watch this, it'll ruin your day. and then the friend Jenny just completely ruined the friend aspect of the movie for me with her ugliness and bitchiness. NEVER SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!! EVER!!!!
... View More"Coming Soon" is a film about a clique of girls who essentially have been sold a lie. That is, the only way to be happy is to get into an Ivy League school, get your wealthy parents to give you anything you want, and be a sexual beast with your trophy boyfriend. What the girls eventually realize is that these goals are completely hollow. The Ivy League does not guarantee your a golden future, money doesn't buy you happiness, and sex without pleasure is cheap and meaningless. Therefore the girls go on a quest to discover the pleasure of life, and learn that breaking the mold is the only way to find fulfillment.In its execution, the movie relies on "clever" but stilted dialogue, over-simplified world views, giant leaps of imagination, and a very childish way of getting a point across, i.e. ignoring logic.I am quick to applaud the goals of this film. Women deserve to be just as satisfied as men, sexually and every other way. But the way the movie gets to this goal misses the mark by a long mile. For any serious movie connoisseur who likes movies like Shortbus, Fat Girl, well basically anything covered in IFC's "Indie Sex" documentary, it's worth a viewing. But I, like the main character after her first sexual encounter, was left unsatisfied.
... View MoreMy fiance and I watched the little trailer for this despicable movie the other night on some movie channel. We figured we'd watch it since nothing else was on and I'm glad I did."Coming Soon" is possibly one of the worst movies ever made. I usually save words like those for movies like, "Fear Dot Com," but I was truly sickened by what was written and portrayed in this movie. Because I couldn't find the writer/director's home address, I figured this is the next best forum to voice my disgust with this movie."Coming Soon" stars a cast of whining 20-somethings as high school seniors. They all come from rich families, they go to private schools, they have drivers, they're models and get into Harvard... so from the beginning we know this is a fantasy movie, right? The subject of the movie tries to focus on how teenage girls learn to orgasm. It sounds more like an episode of "Sex and the City" to me. So we're basically dealing with a topic that pertains more so to older women.But what happens when these younger girls, who the movie is aimed towards, watch this movie? The writer idolizes the main character (somehow she's smart but never studies, has a "cool" name, Stream, and has similar problems of boyfriends being jerks in high school) so girls around that age will sympathise with Stream. What happens, though, is they are introduced by other things, such as smoking all the time, drinking all the time, going to clubs while still underage, and having pre-marital sex with someone she really doesn't like. She develops a thing for the quirky (not actually quirky but the movie portrays it that way since everyone else's norm is stuck-up rich kid) MTV video star Ryan Reynolds... a favorite of mine from Nickelodeon's Canadian Drama "Fifteen." Don't we all remember those guys we knew in high school who had a crappy band that made it to MTV while still in high school?The movie goes between this fantasy world and real world too much, and seems like it was made to encourage underage everything. I'm ashamed that this movie was ever made, not because of its topic of female orgasm, but because of its morally degenerative story.
... View MoreUghh. This is a really annoying "comedy" (and I use that term very generously) about three rich highschool girls and how they constantly bitch and complain about their idiot boyfriends and about not climaxing during sex -- until one of them finally finds true love with the only male character who's not a complete jackass (we know he's cool because he likes to express himself by rolling in mud). The filmmakers apparently rounded up a bunch of their Hollywood pals (Peter Bogdanovich, Ryan O'Neal, Mia Farrow and Yasmine Bleeth make perfunctory appearances), but not even the talents of a Steven Spielberg or David Fincher could've saved this movie's wretched script. The film wears its hip attitude on its sleeve as it tries to be as edgy and darkly humorous as "Heathers" (which it so obviously wants to be) and as frank about teen sex as "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Unfortunately, the writers forgot to put even one remotely interesting character in their film, instead populating it with a bunch of boring, rich snobs, whom the writers constantly make fun of for being vain, shallow and stupid. Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. Avoid like the plague.
