Starring Bonnie Root, Gaby Hoffmann, Tricia Vessey and Ryan Reynolds, it has been described as a female-centric American Pie. But I, like the main character after her first sexual encounter, was left unsatisfied. Coming Soon is a 1999 American romantic comedy film directed by Colette Burson and written by Burson and Kate Robin.
#Coming soon 1999 movie#
For any serious movie connoisseur who likes movies like Shortbus, Fat Girl, well basically anything covered in IFC's "Indie Sex" documentary, it's worth a viewing. List of the best movies like Coming Soon (1999): The Four-Faced Liar, Gray Matters, Trick, Dorian Blues, Jennys Wedding, Saving Face, Before the Fall, 10 Rules. But the way the movie gets to this goal misses the mark by a long mile. Women deserve to be just as satisfied as men, sexually and every other way. I am quick to applaud the goals of this film. In its execution, the movie relies on "clever" but stilted dialogue, over-simplified world views, giant leaps of imagination, and a very childish way of getting a point across, i.e. Therefore the girls go on a quest to discover the pleasure of life, and learn that breaking the mold is the only way to find fulfillment. The Ivy League does not guarantee your a golden future, money doesn't buy you happiness, and sex without pleasure is cheap and meaningless. The trials, tribulations and sexual coming of age of three seniors at the prestigious Halton School in Manhattan as they struggle to find academic advancement and sexual fulfillment. What the girls eventually realize is that these goals are completely hollow.
That is, the only way to be happy is to get into an Ivy League school, get your wealthy parents to give you anything you want, and be a sexual beast with your trophy boyfriend. "Coming Soon" is a film about a clique of girls who essentially have been sold a lie. And at ground zero, live three savvy, street-smart, terminally-hip seniors at a tony.
