Men (1997) Reviews

  • An off-beat film that has some endearing moments

    Neff-21999-12-10

    "Men" is no blockbuster Hollywood film. Instead it's a character drama that revolves around Stella (Sean Young), a budding chef who likes cooking things up with men as much a she likes cooking up souffles. During the course of the film she beds a guy she sees through a shop window, the owner of the restaurant where she works, a fat drunk from Alabama and a spacy photographer (if that isn't redundant.) What's amazing is that through all this, you like her and respect her as a decent person, aided by Young's trademark off-center style. It's not for everyone, but if you like characters better than car crashes, give it a go.

  • Was it good for you?

    primexa602007-01-13

    I found so much to like about this movie, because I thought it was such a true reflection of life as many of us know it. First there's this girl. She's no million-dollar babe but she's cute and she's sexy enough for men to find her desirable. And she's just working her way through the menu. Many of us find ourselves young and okay-looking, and we don't know what is out there but we know we like a good time in bed, and we'll go with what comes along because we're horny and we have itches we like to scratch. And then, out of nowhere, unsought and uninvited, something in the form of someone comes sneaking in, and creeping under our skins, from nowhere, and strange things and strange strings start to pull at the heart, until we suddenly realize that penises and vaginas all point north and south, but there is something more to be held and cherished. We suddenly find a face we like to wake up next to in the morning, and there's this shape and this warmth and this musky fragrance left over from our union that just feels and smells so good it brings a smile to our faces and is enough to have us get up and go put the coffee on, every morning. That's what I loved about this movie. And that's what is so very special about this movie. If you are old enough to have lived through that sense of invincibility and invulnerabilty that comes with the swagger of youth, and then found yourself lucky enough to meet and get to love a person with enough heart and soul and beauty to keep you coming back for more, then you appreciate the beauty of this movie. More power to you Stella! Where were you when I needed that special and beautiful and unique kind of someone and that kind of love to come along and bite me in the ass, and keep me waking up next to her ande wanting to make her coffee? My baby. It was good for me! And if this kind of beautiful epiphany hasn't happened to you, you don't know what you've missed, so keep knocking the movie until it happens for you! :-)

  • A sad look at relations

    ram-111998-12-29

    Another movie about men-women relationships. This time, Young plays a girl who sleeps with every man she finds in order to get experience ("experience will lead her to understanding", she expects). So, I spent 90 minutes, with a very sad (not to say boring) girl, with absolutely no emotions in her face (and nowhere else). The movie is really slow, and the message seems to be lost. I insist, perhaps with an actress actually reflecting any feeling at all, it would have been an interesting story, as it reverts the men's typical role into a woman. The drunken guy character seems to be pointless, and has no explanation at all. So, we all ended up as empty as we started...

  • realistic

    hiyakitty2005-02-15

    i first saw this movie years ago and i liked it then and i still like it now. i thought the movie realistically portrayed a woman who is searching for her own meaning of sex and relationships. she's into trying new things and experiencing life and, as she says in the film, not taking anything that anyone else has experienced as a given. Stella is not looking to be saved or taken care of. she is her own woman who is not afraid of anything and is just curious about life. the different men she meets along the way are interesting and funny and it is nice that she is not trying to fit herself into their lives nor their lives into hers. the movie is not formulaic at all. the food featured in the movie is great as is the music provided by mark Mothersbaugh.

  • It wasn't good for me.

    Hermit C-21999-08-05

    Well, they say nymphomania leaves you unsatisfied. I don't know if Stella James (Sean Young) qualifies as a clinical nymphomaniac, but she certainly is in to sexual relations with men. She's still exploring, trying to find "more data" so she can see what she wants from life and the men in it, though it seems like at her age she should have a pretty good idea by now. (I can't agree, however, with anyone who says Young is too old for the role. If she is, we should all age so nicely.) For the most part this film left me cold, though it's by no means the worst of its type you'll ever see. And unlike the recent 'Eyes Wide Shut,' at least something happens in this one.
