Amazon.com essential video:
Christina Ricci had a great year in 1998. The young actress continued to cast off her youthful image from the Addams Family movies and made a big splash on the independent movie scene, especially in this scathingly witty comedy in which Ricci has the central role. Here she plays Dedee, a buxom, sexually precocious teenager who's pregnant, cynical, and looking for a volunteer father for her unborn child. This takes her to the home of her gay half-brother (Martin Donovan) whose current lover (Ivan Sergei) becomes Dedee's latest target for seduction. That's just the start of the mischief that Dedee so masterfully orchestrates, and Lisa Kudrow (from TV's Friends) is also on hand to deliver some of the movie's most quotable dialogue while fending off the affection of a local policeman played by Lyle Lovett. If all this sounds rather sordid, rest assured that the movie's got a warm heart (well, sort of) beating beneath all of its sharp-edged sarcasm. Writer-director Don Roos (Single White Female) injects most of the movie's appeal and humor through Dedee's voice-over narration, which constantly reminds us that even the most familiar movie clichés can be cleverly overturned. As a result, The Opposite of Sex is the opposite of boring. --Jeff Shannon

One actor commented in another review that the performances come across as a cold read. While I agree with that opinion of some of the performances, acting ... Read More

Loved this movie! Might not be for everyone though . Amazing acting and great story.

The Bottom Line:
A well-written and quirkily amusing comedy, The Opposite of Sex is highly recommended for anyone sick of watching the same formulaic comedies again and again and again.

Christina Ricci is wonderful in this early movie. Some reviewers have criticized the performance of Lisa Kudrow, but I thought she added greatly to the story line.
Rating: -
"The Opposite of Sex" is an interesting off-beat 1998 film that looks at life scenarios involving imperfect people that turn dramatic. The narrator of this story, Dede, played by Christina Ricci, has an axe to grind, presumably due to her unpleasant childhood. As the movie opens, we see Dede desecrate her step-father's casket at his funeral with a cigarette. She leaves the funeral early, and we see her jump into a convertible driven by Randy "One Ball" Cates, an outspoken born-again Christian with ... Read More
