      Critics Consensus

      Sex and Death 101 aspires to be a clever sex comedy, but has little life behind the sex or the death.

      Steve D A joke, but not a good one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Definitely pretty stupid but an easy watch that had a few laughs along the way 3.3 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/21 Full Review Audience Member I am more than convinced that Simon Baker is really a bad actor. nothing about him makes a movie worth to watch Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Could have been a good movie! Good idea, horrible execution!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't think it was predictable. The ending surprised me. The actors were flat though, or just the characters were. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A man's life is turned upside down when he receives an e-mail with the names of the women he has and will ever have sex with and encounters a femme fatale who targets men guilty of sex crime. A deeply flawed attempt at being clever about sex and death. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Stephen Garrett Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Josh Rosenblatt Austin Chronicle Heaven help a writer who turns a philanderer into a blank. Rated: 1/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times As a writer, Waters is best-known for creating Ryder's sharp black comedy, Heathers, and Bruce Willis' self-indulgent bomb, Hudson Hawk. As a director, he tends to waste actors, and he fails to establish a consistent comic tone. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 11, 2008 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A little bit of love; a lot of laughter and a lot of sex and a lot of..... Sex and Death 101. Mandatory viewing required. Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Admittedly, it doesn't have many belly laughs, but if you're tuned into Waters' peculiar, highly intelligent comedy style it's a fascinating watch. Jul 17, 2008 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com the monologues near the truly odd ending make you wonder whether Waters had an extreme fever when he was finishing up the script Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 6, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
