The first must-see film of the year.

When you go see this film, you almost certainly know what you are going to get. However, my expectations of being low were conquered by an above average story and is decently uncliched. But my main problem with My Awkward Sexual Experience is the characters. They lean too far one way so it tries to tug at your emotional strings and this try-hard approach is too cringe worthy for a really pleasant viewing experience. This film almost works perfectly, but the things that fail this film almost take it down. Characterisation and poor decisions by the filmmakers are almost devastating, but are saved by how original and different the storyline and plot are.

Upon reading the synopsis for this film, I wondered if this would end up being another one of those movies with lots of boobs and no actual story line. My netflix queue was looking pretty sad, so I figured I would give MASA a chance. The awkwardness began with the very first scene. We are introduced to the feeble protagonist who verges on unlikeable. However, as the film progressed something interesting happened. I began to look forward to those awkward moments, and even started rooting for the protagonist. This film was well written, intelligent, and funny. The way the writers addressed sex was wonderful, managing to be blunt without seeming gratuitous. In addition to great writing, this film was blessed with wonderful actors. I would definitely recommend film.

After noticing how underrated this movie was I felt compelled to write my second review, here at IMDb. This is a great movie! One of the top 5 best movies of 2012. The writer, director and cast delivered a unique fine piece of art. You will like it. Your girlfriend will love it. The harmony and balance between the characters are great. Emily Hampshire and Vik Sahay will get your attention! Jonas and Sarah were awesome as well. Even "Naked Tom" will make you think. Intelligent, funny and sometimes politically incorrect; all you could ever wanted to see in a comedy. If you were looking for a great Saturday night movie you definitely found one!

This movie is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It presents itself as the stereotypical commercial comedy. All the characters are easily understandable stereotypes. It's main storyline is basically a total cliché.So why is it different? It breaks every one of the cliché's it uses. It tells us the story of what happens when our stereotypes become real, actually live their lives. And its easiness about sex is refreshing too, it's not a pornographic movie at all. Sex is just an aspect of it. And yet, even though of the controversial content, if you don't think about it: it's just another boring commercial romance comedy.(So: controversial perfectly hidden in a cliché feelgood. Remarkable really.) (Did I mention it's excellently produced. Seriously. Excellent production value!) (I wonder if I'd still think this positively about it if I watched it a second time. I guess some parts were pretty weak. But I practically wonder if it's intentional. Nice!)
