How To Have Sex

Rarely are we exposed to such selfish, self-obsessed people who are all about me, me and more me. Seemingly the director wanted us to like these girls, as they were in some sort of rights of passage, he failed in this task.

Someone needed to explain to them about "self-objectification", even though this was their stated agenda, they wanted to score with as many meaningless guys as possible. Day two they confirmed in was an 18 - 30 package holiday where sexual exploration is at the heart of the activities, and mere attendance represents near consent.

Tara was clearly looking for a holiday romance as she put the brakes on during one of the games, and appeared shocked as to what she had signed up for and as for the beach scene she gave consent, and because she didn't get the romantic interlude she wanted she then had buyers remorse.

The director seemed to be making a distinction between consent and explicit consent but the movie was a mess, Tara could have said no at any point and that would have been respected all the way through.

This was a teenage strop about nothing, at best this movie is a 3 outta 10, it just failed to draw all the lines or explore the issues in any meaningful way.
