Amy's Orgasm (2001)
3/10
Silly, pointless romp
19 March 2003
This movie was a silly, pointless romp into the life of a not-so-likable person and her involvements with not-so-likable people. She is the typically portrayed (yawn) neurotic Jewish girl who questions her every action, not in an ethical sense but in a purely selfish quest-- how will this benefit me? She is superficially flawed in character (much time is spent on her laughable misgivings about her looks) and chooses her lover because of his fame through a flimsy film-mask of desperation. It's a horror film to me.

I wanted to like this movie. It wanted to be the movie where feminism meets itself in the 00s. (We're successful and now what?) I'm still waiting for that movie. Amy's Orgasm, however, relies on tired clichés about people, screen writing and film-making. It is a disappointment when you expected something at least mediocre.
