Kink comedy I Want Your Sex is as vanilla as McDonald’s soft serve, and half as satisfying
There is plenty of buildup here, but the release, when it finally does arrive, is halting, awkward and slightly embarrassing for everyone involved. This includes star Olivia Wilde, who is having a rather up-and-down summer between her rapturously received work behind and in front of the camera with The Invite and her wobbly performance here as a contemporary artist named Erika who is obsessed with sex. That fixation ensnares Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), a go-nowhere dude who winds up becoming Erika’s latest in a long line of boy-toy assistants.
