A sex-obsessed writer reveals her many erotic encounters to a complete stranger in this shallow, unfunny comedy
A sex addict re-enacts every one of her 169 conquests on a road trip across America with a man she’s only just met – he’s got testicular
cancer – in this shallow, dismally unfunny
comedy from Nico Raineau. Brittany
SNOW does her best to make the character convincing but not only is the movie (clearly inspired by Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck) a comedy dead zone, it is virtually devoid of recognisably real human beings.
In a nicely tuned performance, Snow plays Darla, a cynical sex columnist sacked from her
Job on a magazine after being caught shagging an intern in the editor’s office. (The firing is nicely spiky: “You’re not the only nympho who can form a sentence.”) An earlier sexual harassment complaint means that Darla is forced to attend a sex addicts’ group where she meets adorable Bailey (Sam Richardson), a sweet guy who’s walked into the wrong meeting: he’s meant to be next door with the cancer survivors. The script completely fudges Darla’s sex addiction – one minute she’s a liberated woman doing her thing, the next she’s facing up to her behaviours and recovery. She never has to deal with any kind of social shunning or slut shaming.
