The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

If you love Lea Thompson (And I do), "Casual Sex?" is a must see. It is fair to say, I like it more than most people do. It is about two friends Stacy (Lea), and Melissa (Victoria Jackson), and their hunt for Mr. Right. Melissa succeeds when she meets Jamie (Jerry Levine), But my primary focus is in Lea and the person who steals the film Andrew Dice Clay as Vinny, so I will leave Melissa and Jamie alone. Until seeing the comments section on IMDb, I did not know there was an alternate ending with Stacy ending up divorced and unhappy, while Vinny remained a pathetic excuse for a human being, that was test marketed and rejected. I think that was the right decision. Not only is there a chemistry between the characters, but it fits the context of the film better. Spoilers ahead: What happens is Stacy meets Nick(Stephen Shellen) and he moved in with her. It turned out he was a slacker musician, with an overinflated view of himself "I am going to be bigger than Elvis." Eventually she had to throw him out. At the same time she meet Vinny from New Jersey, who was an arrogant individual who thought he was God's gift to women, and she and Melissa put him in his place. Later on, he wrote to Stacy saying "The Vin Man" needed improvement, so I started dressing better, stopped hanging out and hitting on women." Stacy said: "I'm impressed, deep down he like the rest of us, messed up." Later on, during the Christmas Holiday's, Vinny goes for a long road trip (He is alone for the Holidays (As is Stacy)), and as he said: "I did not realize it, but I came to see you."(Stacy). But she basically ignores him (Probably because of the bad experience of Nick), and as he walked away, she called him back, and he asked if she wanted anything to eat," Stacy said "Everything is closed, but I will make you something." Vinny said "I will make you something." Stacy said "I will like that." Vinny said wait I got you something for Christmas which was a puppy. The next scene is years later, at Christmas, when Melissa and Jamie come over, and while Stacy is decorating the tree, Vinny is tied up by their boys, and Jamie will be getting the same treatment. When Stacy sees that she says" There goes your boyfriend.", and Melissa says the same, the film ends with Stacy saying "Yea, there goes my boyfriend." (With a look of contentment and happiness). As the song comes on "No More Casual Sex Mon." What I really like is the way that Vinny started out as a real jerk, and made the changes necessary, so he could grow as a character, which would allow him to end up with someone like Stacy (Which from a guy's point of view, is a worthwhile goal), but also how Stacy was able to realize this. Thus, overcoming her doubts about not only Vinny, but herself (There is a scene where she mentions being alone to Melissa, and her body language showed how unhappy she was) and still gave Vinny a chance to prove himself (Character growth is usually a good thing, and that is what we saw with Vinny, and the "Happy Ending" is what showed that (Which is why that ending fit well within the context of the movie)). What is also interesting is the end where the virginal Melissa, and the shy Jamie were living with each other, and how the bad boy and girl (Vinny and Stacy) became the married couple with kids. I guess people can tell that I will give "Casual Sex?" a high grade and I do, which is A+. 10/10 stars.

Dice Clay proved he was more than just DICE. Lea Thompson showed that she could do comedy & that she looked so good on a nude beach. I read someplace that when they first tested the film Lea & Dice did not get together as in the final version. The test audience wanted the unlucky Dice to get the girl in the end. I totally agree that ending would have been dumb if it just ended with DICE back in NYC alone. It needed to happen. All in all it was a good 80's flick. I still watch it when its on TV. For you tv version buffs, the TV edit has more scenes with Lea & Victoria outside of Lea bedroom after she makes it with that bad actor wannabe. Do I smell a directors cut?

This is a much better movie than I expected and is very well done with some witty dialogue and good performances by all.Thompson and Jackson play two young women from with different sexual experiences who go off on vacation to find love.Andrew Dice Clay is surprising good as the guy who turns to be the love of Lea's life without either of them expecting it.Not "hokey" at all and the sexual inuendo is far more adult and funnier than you usually saw in the "teen or young couple" flims of this era.

A mildly amusing sex comedy. Lea Thompson was OK, and Andrew Dice Clay pretty good here. I thought that Victoria Jackson was the real star here, though. She seems to have disappeared since then. I would have liked to have seen more of her. I can only recommend it casually, though.
