Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
khono I actually think this was a great movie. The plot twists with the best of them, taking the emotional load with it.In the same vein as other movies of its kind such as My Dinner with Andre and Before Sunrise, Sexy Evil Genius was superbly brought to life through the power of the actors and the dialogue alone.It's pretty tough to keep things in a movie such as this both unpredictable and believable. We don't know what's going on inside the minds of anyone and neither do the characters in this story. Yet we have these customs, these social tools used to interact with people to get through day to day life predictably. We see this play out as strangers meet and talk and get to know each other. These customs begin to break down and become useless as someone stops following the rules. The characters are left with rapidly changing speculation and mounting anxiety as the story plays out.I had just two problems with the film. One where a firearm's barrel was touched directly by the skin not even a minute after it was fired more than once. The other when a woman who was viciously assaulted by a large angry man was left without even a bruise.This is a definite must see for anyone who enjoys some good drama where the action is primarily expressed in words.One final note, I'm happy to see that homosexuality in film has reached the point where no matter whether people enjoyed the film or not, it's not thought abnormal enough to be worth commenting on. A normal, acceptable part of our culture :)
Die Cycle Sexy Evil Genius exposes a couple, often forgotten, universal truths. The first: A close shaven Seth Green can pass for a fifteen year old, any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The second: Even absent a billion dollar budget, CGI, 3-D, spectacular shoot-outs, or gratuitous nude scenes, a decent script, coupled with impressive acting is, as always been, damn entertaining.I am content the above paragraph summed up my viewing experience of Sexy Evil Genius, however, the content gods of IMDb demand more input. To comment on the main character, the "genius", was she a manipulative, severely psychologically damaged individual? Absolutely. Was she someone that I, or any rational person, would wish to share company? No. Did she, and the film, hold my attention? Yes. Was the entire experience worth my time and the few dollars to rent the video. Yes.
Arnror_II Sexy is subjective, so I'll leave it up to you, although I have never found her anyway near sexy. So with good written dialog, I was waiting for an evil genius something..What a waste! Is this what passes for a film these days, was this really necessary to bring out to the masses. I'm sensing some friends doing a favor for another here, or just that Seth wanted to meet Trachtenberg. Who can blame him.So the dialog, camera, directing, and everything tec, was impeccable. Story,casting sucked big time. If you're gonna have genius in the title, ask a genius, or even just a smart person to help you write next time.
Tony Heck "Woe be he or she that falls in love with Nikki Franklin." After being told to meet an ex-girlfriend at a bar three strangers show up and begin to talk and share stories. They all tell their stories about how they met, loved and ended the relationship with this woman. When she finally shows up with news that affects all of them no one is really sure how to act, or what to believe. I have to say that overall this is a pretty good movie that is worth watching but it is not for everyone. The whole movie takes place in one area and is pretty much just talking the whole time. That said the dialog is well written and the whole plot is actually interesting enough to keep you watching and interested in seeing what happens next. Trying to tell what is the truth and what is a lie also makes it that much more fun to watch. Overall, a movie that I think is fun and worth watching but is not for everyone. I give it a B.
