Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The greatest preoccupation of a teenager's life is probably the pursuit of a mate but, with a little technical intervention, that just got more complicated in Virtual Sexuality. The premise is basically along the lines of 80s cult-classic Weird Science but with a gender reversal, although there's plenty of eye-candy for both sexes. Seventeen-year-old brunette Justine (Laura Fraser) is looking for her ideal man, but there are slim pickings as most of the boys her age have the hots for the voluptuous blonde Hoover (Natasha Bell). Justine enlists the help of stud-in-geek's-clothing Chas (Luke de Lacey) to set up a hot date for her and long-haired lout Alex but, as luck would have it, he stands her up and she embarks on the strangest course of events imaginable.

Her much-sought-after "Mr Barcode" comes to life extraordinarily when a gas explosion outside the technology exhibition they're at wreaks havoc on all the machines--including the 3-D virtual reality booth she's in. The realisation of her male alter-ego Jake (Rupert Penry Jones) makes for funny viewing, although wisely the script writers resisted the temptation for smutty jokes just for the sake of it. Wanting to make money from the whole cloning idea, the bad guys who created the machine are after Jake but--thankfully--Chas miraculously develops advanced computer-programming skills and saves the day. Does the hero get the girl? What do you think? --Angela Boodoo

Synopsis
Features 'Virtual Sexuality' in which Justine is seventeen and feels she's the last virgin on the planet. With the help of her friends she sets up a date but is stood up. Whilst she is feeling very dejected an explosion rips through the building and she morphs as 'Jake' her dream guy!... and 'Weird Science' in which two teenage high school wimps use a computer to create a stunningly beautiful woman. She's the answer to their problems... particularly their problems with women.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exellent teen film, 18 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Virtual Sexuality [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
This film has been given some unfair critisism by US reviewers, most of whom freely admit to not even having seen the film!

This film is an absolute gem. From its witty script and its colourful optimistic production design, this film was set out to entertain, and it certainly does just that!

Virtual Sexuality is very fast paced and has an editing style similar to, but far exceeding that of trainspotting. The cast perform admirabally and you can't help but associate yourself with them if your a teen yourself.

This film is definetly an entertaining (if unrealistic in its approach) romp through teen life and issues on relationships. I heartely reccomend that you watch it, it far exceeds any of the alternative Hollywood 'teen' crap they turn out year after year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious comedy to melt your heart, 22 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Virtual Sexuality [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
As a comedy/romance lover, I own plenty of your standard "Teen angst romance" DVDs, but I keep coming back to this one a good two years after I bought it.

The cast are excellent, hilarious and believeable in their roles, with some brilliant one-liners. There is little to distract from the main plot, and while it's pretty obvious how the film's going to work out, you can't help smiling when Justine finally gets her man.

The film is supported by an excellent soundtrack - some songs you'll know, some you won't, but they work well.

If you want a film that's going to cheer you up and you don't mind a bit of the "stereotypical ways of young love" with a twist, this is the film for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK, 29 Mar 2004
By J. E. Bamber "JJJJJ" (Seattle) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Virtual Sexuality [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
-
This film demands on putting every person into sterioticial roles, even on the front cover it has pictures of the main charecters and labels them like Geek or Sex freak. This can be sometimes funny but mainly annoying because nobody is just one thing. This film is slightly surial and although having a frankly ludicrous basis it handles it with humour and charm. Not being an American teen movie its significantly less glossy and is much more gritty. After being set up on a date this girl desides to go to this virtual reality confrence where she desighnes her perfect man. but while she is making him there is a explosion and the man she creats come to life. This movies really isnt as simple as it seems there are very many twists and turns. Although there are fairly considerable plot holes in this film it is still charming at at points very funny.
