Review of Easy

Easy (2003)
6/10
A tangled web...

Warning: Spoilers
The tagline on this movie is: "Sex is easy… love is not." However I don't think it quite fits with the film. The film revolves around Katie, a young woman who has never had trouble landing casual flings, but real relationships elude her. She seems to think the problem is the type of men she attracts, although later comes to realise that a part of the problem is surely the way she so easily falls into bed with men, rather than getting to know the men and making them respect her rather than use her. Enter two main love interests, a handsome man who used to be her teacher who she has always crushed on, and a move average looking guy who is actually a nice guy. Marguerite Moreau is the star in this film and plays her part very well. I was impressed with her performance. The other actors are all good too. If I had one gripe it is that this film tangles all the characters into this weird web of love/romance./sex far too conveniently for it to be realistic. Katie's sister spends half the film 'happily married' but ends up in love with one of Katie's initial love interests. What kind of sister doesn't at least feel a bit awkward about dating your sister's ex? So aside from the contrived nature of the plot that insists on mixing the characters up so much it becomes too much, I enjoyed the film. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the actors in the film.
