Plot: Coming Soon is yet another youth comedy about the sexual misadventures of a group of high school students, but with a difference -- this time, it follows three teenage girls who are in search of sexual and romantic fulfillment. Nell (Tricia Vessey), Jenny (Gaby Hoffmann), and Stream (Bonnie Root) are three friends enrolled at a respected private school, busy finishing up their senior year and trying to get into good colleges. But academia is not the only thing occupying their minds, especially when Stream admits to her friends that she's never had an orgasm. Jenny and Nell quickly decide they must find Stream a boyfriend who can solve this problem once and for all. But neither of them has been doing much better; while both have had their share of significant others, none has been especially concerned their pleasure, leaving both young women unsatisfied. Stream's fling with big man on campus Chad (James Roday) deprives her of her virginity but leaves her no closer to her stated goal; however, she meets Henry (Ryan Reynolds), a guy who is too much the individual to fit in at school but seems interested in her; he is also, for a change, not obsessed with himself. The supporting cast includes Spalding Gray as a guidance counselor and Ryan O'Neal and Mia Farrow (reunited nearly 35 years after appearing together on TV's Peyton Place) as Stream's parents. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Good flick

Not as bad as some reviews would have it. Granted, we're not talking top end cerebral work here, but it's an entertaining ride. Ryan Reynolds shines as always.

What dribble
Added 4/1/2008

What an utter waste of time. Stupid women looking for nothing more than an orgasm. Wait, did I say women? Teenage girls playing as adults with adult parents acting like ignorant adolescents. No explicit sex? Are you kidding me? I didn't find a single joke or scene funny in this ridiculous excuse for a movie. The plot line and scenes just didn't make for characters that anyone should care for.

A Female American Pie
Added 7/20/2007

I teach this film and my students (18-21) love it. I find it hilarious as well.

You most likely have never seen this, or even heard of it, b/c it was burried by the MPAA ratings board. Although there is no nudity, no violence and little explicit sexuality, it is about women in search of an sexual pleasure and, thus, received a much harsher rating than American Pie. It is smarter and wittier than AP (not that hard to do) and the acting is solid. A very entertaining and progressive film.

This was a funny "coming of age" movie with today's modern teens. It was enjoying to watch.
