Any movie that opens with a buff young stud sucking his own cock is sure to provoke moral outrage. Any movie that follows such an acrobatic act of self-pleasuring with a heterosexual couple live-flip-fucking through the Kama Sutra before one guy trumpets ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ into another guy’s anus is... a meditation on New Yorkers in post-9/11 existential crisis?

Be warned, don’t watch it with your parents as some scenes are pretty much porn. The opening of this is among the most unforgettable of any movie, as are many of the zany characters you meet, and several of the scenes – it’s pretty much a one-of-a-kind. Despite being chocked-full of taboo and graphic (real!) sex Shortbus does a fantastic job of remaining funny and charming for the duration, because the emphasis is on the people and their emotions, not the sex. There’s some funky animations of NYC and most of the characters are likable. The film remains interesting as each person’s story progresses and the climactic ending is really upbeat and fitting with the movie as a whole. It’s not for the prudish, and because of the warnings on the box you’ll probably feel a bit dirty just buying this – although it’s totally worth the momentary shame! Extraordinary comedy about sexual emotions! Score: 7/10 [Link removed - please don't spam your own blog]
