	Movies - The Opposite of Sex

The Opposite of Sex is a 1998 film directed by Don Roos.

The film is a black comedy, narrated by and centered around self-absorbed, cynical teenager Dede Truitt (Ricci), who runs away from home after her stepfather's funeral and moves in with her gay half-brother Bill, a teacher. Dede seduces Bill's lover, Matt, then tricks him into believing she has fallen pregnant by him (in fact, the father of her child is her ex-boyfriend Randy Cates). She and Matt elope, leaving Bill and his uptight best friend Lucia (Kudrow), the sister of Bill's (now-dead) previous lover, to try and track them down and sort out the mess. In the meantime, Matt's "bit on the side," Jason Bock, attempts to blackmail Bill, claiming Bill sexually assaulted him while he was a student. The film's climax is set in Canada where all of the characters finally meet up, and where Dede gives birth to her son Randy Jr.

After the birth, Dede moves back in with Bill, while Matt and Jason go travelling together, and Lucia marries her old friend Carl. Narrating the ending, Dede sarcastically concludes that sex is precisely the opposite of what people should want, leading as it does to kids, disease, or worst of all, relationships.
