Better Than Sex

With remarkable grace, [Teplitzky's] actors balance the competing demands of candor and whimsy, and the result, while not unforgettable, is charming.

Runs out of impulse and falls back on glibness.

At times, Better Than Sex feels like Last Tango in Paris, with all the grunting and animalistic behavior but none of the raison d'etre.

A paper-thin script that is by turns fatuous and emotionally fraudulent.
