It's a very bad sign when you watch a movie and in the middle of it you ask yourself whether it's a parody or the director is really serious. This is exactly what happened to me while watching 'S&D 101'. We have seen the white room with the men in white costumes receiving message from the Forces so many time - so it must be a parody. Then you have this list of the 101 women that the hero of the movie will sleep with until death, or until he falls in lover, or maybe until he gets bored until he bored us to death. But then some serious romance seems to develop. Until the Big Love falls and breaks her neck like in a silent comedy, but we are supposed to be sorry, so it's maybe a tragedy. Or a parody??
One way or the other, I got very confused about what this film is about and what it tries to be. A romantic comedy? An erotic fantasy? A thriller with a touch of 'Matrix'? I think that I know what it is - it is a failure that becomes boring after a few minutes of watching and keeps being so despite the amount of beautiful women and the neat film-making. The principal reason of this failure is that not only the premises of the film are non-credible, but so are almost every dialog and relation that is brought on this screen. Which does not improve at all my appreciation for director Daniel Walters who was also the screen writer.
To avoid!
