We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?

80

Variety by David Stratton

Cheekily diverting, decidedly feel-good, tremendously sexy entertainment.

70

L.A. Weekly by Chuck Wilson

This is a small, funny movie drawn from the radical notion that a love born of late-night lust can survive the glaring light of day.

63

Philadelphia Inquirer by Carrie Rickey

Unpretentious fun.

60

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

It's a good thing Better Than Sex, which is pretty raunchy and absolutely not for prudes, does have more than sex on its mind, because otherwise audiences might be tempted to dismiss it as a tease.

58

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak

Wenham and Porter make the film better than it should be.

50

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews

Wenham and Porter are appealing actors, and Teplitzky's depiction of their coupling has an unflinching realism.

50

Village Voice by Ed Park

Despite the wall-to-wall shagging in Cin's loft, -- this Three Days of the Condom is less Last Tango in Sydney than "When Harry Met Sally."

50

Boston Globe by Jay Carr

There are many things that Better Than Sex is better than, although sex is not among them. It is better than a root canal, an IRS audit, or a rained-out ballgame.

38

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

The movie's only redeeming qualities are its stars.

30

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

Imagine "Last Tango in Paris" remade as a wan, low-budget romantic comedy.
