A Little Sex Reviews:
Ah, the pitfalls of extramarital sex 
2009-01-28 - For years i was a fan of this little guilty pleasure. Tim Matheson plays a young video director who marries his sexy girlfriend, played by Kate Capshaw ( in real life, Mrs. Steven Spielberg).However, theres one slight problem: he cant stay faithful. What to do, what to do, lol. A great comedy about the trials of love and commitment.
Corny and Brave at the Same Time 
2008-03-13 - The leads are charismatic, Edward Hermann is good in everything he does. Most importantly, in addition to some decent character-driven comedy, physical and verbal, (remember the scene where Matheson is trying on the wedding rings?) this movie actually sketches out how you move forward from animal cravings to having a loving relationship.
It's not particularly profound, and sure, it feels a LOT like a TV movie.
It sure felt realistic to me, in this one way-- it really did feel like Matheson's character was trying to understand how to love somebody without thinking of himself as some sort of martyr to monogamy. And I did feel like Capshaw's character had some backbone, unlike other female leads in similar comedies.
A little too much 
2004-04-11 - The plot of this movie centers around one of the most ubiquitous of human traits: the male libido. Is it possible for a man in possession of an above-average sex drive to be devoted to one woman? Or will his loins always win out?
Certainly, this is not the 1st movie to address this question. However, typically the best venue to engage the topic is via the Romantic Comedy. Instead, this movie is a drama that takes itself way too seriously. In the end, it comes out being more sappy than anything else.
One of the aspects I liked the least about the film was its glorification of smoking. I realize that smoking is supposed to be sexy & erotic, but I have never got into it. In this movie it simply comes across as dirty & sleazy (much like the plot-line!). I swear that Tim Mattheson doesn't go a single scene w/out lighting up; it gets old really quick.
The one highpoint of the film is Kate Capshaw as the virtuous but betrayed wife. She is certainly very loveable in her role, and the film dates from the prime years of her film career.
If you're looking for a movie with a similar plot-line, but done much better, check out JUST A LITTLE HARMLESS SEX. The latter is also funny, while the present film is bereft of humor. If you pick this DVD up I can almost guarantee that you will be bored with the result.
Liked this movie as well
2001-12-31 - I was a young teen when I first saw this film on cable and I really enjoyed it. Sure it's fluff, but it'g good fluff. I loved Kate Capshaw, couldn't stand Tim Matheson (his character was a cheat, so how could I like him?) They had good chemistry and she looks fabulous. I was glad to see it available on tape and snapped it up. Am waiting for the dvd version with hopefully some interesting extras but this is an older film so...
Sorry, thought this move was darling!
2001-11-09 - Oh pooh-pooh on all you artheads. Yes, the movie's fluffy. Yes it's kind of a big-screen TV movie. But it's a WHOLE lot of fun and I've always just loved it. Who can resist all those wonderful scenes where they play-act meeting each other for the first time? I loved this move and am simply waiting for it to come out on DVD. *thhhhhhpt!*
