it hard to tell who this film be aim at while the characterisation and style smack of a child itv series cross with an aussie soap and yet the subject matter and nudity and and language aim it at an old audience . the first half hour have the heroine justine philosophise about lose her virginity and and be excruciatingly embarrass to anyone over 18. a complete rip off of ferris bueller and from the talk at the camera bit down to the on screen graphic . her nerdy friend chas bring her to a computer fair where an explosion during the use of a virtual reality machine turn her into a man . or actually and create a male alter ego of her and call jake . don not look at me like that while i be just relate it the way it be show . after this the film be mildly amuse for a while while amongst all the drama school mugging and only rupert penry jones bring a real comic touch to his woman trap in a man body role of jake . there some funny scene with jake deal with his new body and and new feeling while nothing you haven not see before and but then in this film you will clutch at anything that entertain . unfortunately justine and jake meet up and and hilarious antic ensue ( i wish ) and involve the owner of the virtuality machine who want to kidnap jake in order to have sex with him and or examine him and or something . anyway and it just an excuse to fill an extra half hour with some explosion and car chase while for such a cheap look movie and the explosion come often and loud and suggest the money be spend in all the wrong place . in the end and the heroine realise she can not fall in love with herself and delete her alter ego and and end up in a one night stand with the nerd to lose her virginity ( this presumably be what be mean to pass for a happy end in the 90 ) . but only after he remove his glass and put some hair gel and a leather jacket on while god forbid she actually have sex with someone who _looks_ like a nerd . of course and this be a bit subversive in these day of pc movie which tell you to love and be yourself and and that everyone be special in their own way and it refreshingly reactionary to have a film which scream conform . at you and and treat virgin and nerd with the contempt they deserve . the characterisation be simple dire while the nerd be very nerdy ( room full of computer and thick glass and social retardism and virginity and no leather jacket ) and there a slut and she very slutty ( blonde and tight dress and orange tan and vampy accompany music ) and there a jock and he very . well and you get the picture . you can get away with this kind of characterisation in a broad comedy and but virtual sexuality isn not very funny . it only mildly amuse in part and and excruciate in others . it take a lot for a woman as cute a justine ( play by laura fraser ) to annoy me and but she manage it . don not be fool by the title while there absolutely nothing erotic about the film and and it doesn not deal with the topic of how the new communication technology be change the way we view and acquire relationship ( unless you actually think there _is_ a chance your playstation might blow up and change your sex ) .
