Relax... It's Just Sex

"With friends like these, who needs family?"

Jun 10 1998 R 1h 50m
Comedy

A tight-knit group of thirty-somethings -- gay, lesbian and straight -- struggle to live, love and stay friends in modern-day Los Angeles as circumstances conspire to tear them apart.

Plot

Beginning with a funny mock commercial of 1950s B&W educational films (that insists "One not to be scared of homosexuals"), this hilarious comedy from director P.J. Castellaneta skewers sexual stereotypes, game-playing and relationships with a savage wit and a keen eye. A close-knit group of poly-sexual, multiracial West Hollywood friends include: Tara (Jennifer Tilly), who is desperate to have a turkey-baster child; her friends Vincey (Mitchell Anderson), a lovelorn gay playwright; Robin (Lori Petty), who pines for the voluptuous Sarina (Cynda Williams), who in turn is ending a long-tern relationship with Megan (Serena Scott Thomas). Add in even more hook-ups and break-ups, and you've got quite a stew brewing. As love, lust and controversy swirl around this playful bunch, you won't be able to help but fall in love with these great friends.
