Until 2017, director Anthony J. Cohen had only one full-length project released for worldwide release, but most recently the name of this visionary was associated with a remake of the cult action game “Like it or not, you lose,” in the original version of which Clint Eastwood starred in 1978 .
The film “Sex Trip” (2017) is the complete genre opposite, it is a comedy whose plot does not sparkle with novelty. But the story of a man waking up in the body of a beautiful woman takes energetic humor, frankness and a wonderful acting duet of leading actors. Cohen’s new work belongs to the category of a boy-in-girl movie, and, as critics say in the reviews, Sex Trip deserves to take its place alongside Substitution, Carrot Love, If I Was man ”and others.
The story of a hero lover
Only the lazy in the reviews about the Sex Trip did not indicate the apparent secondary character of the plot.
The main character, Eddie Greenleaf, was disappointed with the unrequited first youthful love, so he decided to "take revenge" on all women. Having matured, the young man pulled into bed almost all the local beauties and published a manual for men on how to achieve closeness to the person you liked in a couple of dates. Having received the social status of a narcissistic narcissist who perceives women only as an object of satisfying her desires, Eddie no longer notices how insulting she is to all representatives of the fair sex. But one day he receives a worthy rebuff. Rude to an old lady, he is under the influence of her curse. The next morning, Eddie wakes up in the body of a sexy young lady and himself becomes the object of close attention of men.
Entertaining, not a hypocrite
Often, reviewers in reviews of the Sex Trip are silent about how the story ends. However, its climax is not very important. After all, Anthony J. Cohen made a comedy about a fantastic change of bodies, telling well-known and commonplace things. The story is not so important, at times it is more interesting how the viewer is entertained. The creators of the picture do not hesitate to talk about sex and actively demonstrate naked female bodies. Therefore, the project has a clear age rating of 18+. Viewers in the reviews about “Sex Trip” approve of this author's approach, because traditionally tapes with a similar plot are limited only to a bashful demonstration of the first trip to the hero / heroine’s toilet in a strange body.
Acting Ensemble
The merits of the criticism tape most often include a comic component. With her, everything is really good, and thanks for the role of the central characters Jade Ramsey and Louis Mandilore. In "Sex Trip", the actors created a harmonious on-screen duet.
The English actress Rebecca Jade Ramsey is known for the TV series The Anubis Abode, and her partner, the Australian actor Luis Mandilore, for the comedy epic My Big Greek Wedding 1, 2 and the series Chinese City.
Due to the very modest budget, the project cannot boast of having big names in the credits like Hanks and Stallone. Nevertheless, in episodic roles, the younger brothers of the mentioned celebrities appear in it - Jim and Frank, respectively.
