Movie review: An Awkward Sexual Adventure aka. My Awkward Sexual Adventure


 Dumped by his girlfriend due to his poor sexual performance, mild-mannered accountant Jordan is searching for help. Enlisting the aid of a stripper to expand his experience, he is led into a world of massage parlors, S&M, cross-dressing and strip clubs.

Jonas Chernick (Jordan), Emily Hampshire (Julia), Sarah Manninen (Rachel), Vik Sahay (Dandak), Melissa Elias (Reshma), Marina Kerr (Ruth), Andrea del Campo (Sapphire), Onalee Ames (Gypsy), Randy Apostle (Rabbi).

An Awkward Sexual Adventure (also billed as My Awkward Sexual Adventure) begins with Jordan's awkward sexual performance before becoming even more awkward. Albeit in a sexually adventurous way. With character introductions and plot setup out of the way the story gets moving with more than a few laughs as Jordan is educated by Julia and others. The film wraps with the Happy Ever After ending we all saw coming five minutes into the film.

Acting was entertaining with Chernick delivering nicely. Hampshire was well cast, fit her role well, and also delivered well. Sahay was hysterical and a perfect fit for both the film and his work with Chernick. Manninen, Elias, and the remainder of the supporting cast did well.

Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are good with nice variety and fit for the film with only a few details missing. Action scenes were enjoyable and fun. Dialogue was also fun with some nice laughs and good balance of depth. Sound and soundtrack are solid.

Overall An Awkward Sexual Adventure is a fun, mildly edgy comedy with solid acting and technical work. Though the plot is about sexual performance, this really is more a comedy about how people approach sexual education and to a smaller degree, relationships.

As you might imagine this one contains a fair amount of sexual comedy, references, partial nudity or more, sexual acts and some foul language. Save this one for the oldest teens and above.
