Opposite of Sex, The (1998) scores a combined 2.25 out of 4 stars for Apollo Movie Guide (Dan Jardine)Apollo Movie Guide (Dan Jardine)
A cynical pregnant 16-year-old (Christina Ricci) wreaks havoc on the lives of everyone she meets in this black comedy. The one-liners outshine the sitcom-like plot. Ricci and Kudrow--as an older, lonelier version of the Ricci character--are particularly ...read the complete Opposite of Sex movie review at Apollo Movie Guide (Dan Jardine)

The opposite of entertainment, a self-satisfied soap opera from hell.

But it's not worth ...read the complete Opposite of Sex movie review at Chicago Reader (Lisa Alspector)

Consistently clever without ever being funny. The film is so in love with its own carefully calibrated outrageousness that it doesn't bother to give its characters any depth beyond sitcom-level stereotypes. ...read the complete Opposite of Sex movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Nathan Rabin)
