Susan Granger's review of "LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX" (Fine Line Features):
Let's not. Better to let Jerry Springer or Monica Lewinsky do it. At least, that way you don't have to pay at the box-office. This sleazy excuse for a docudrama, written and directed by Troy Beyer, who played Diahann Carroll's daughter on "Dynasty," stars Beyer as a Miami advice columnist who wants to graduate from newspaper work to TV. In order to make the transition, she has to come up with a sample program about "what makes girls tick," so she and her two roommates (Paget Brewster, Randi Ingerman) hit the streets with their videocam to discover women's biggest gripes about men, the insensitive brutes. There's lots of graphic, titillating talk, which bears a striking similarity to reading aloud the raunchy walls of a public rest-room, as the trio come to terms with their own sexual problems. Talk about hypocritical, cliche-drenched, psycho-babble! On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Let's Talk About Sex" is so cheesy and shallow that it's barely a 1. Yeah, it gets laughs - all the wrong kind.
