| Overview: | With friends like these, who needs family?
Beginning with a funny mock commercial of 1950s B&W Educational films (that insist "One must be scared of homosexuals"), the hilarious "Relax... It's Just Sex" from director P.J. Castellaneta ("Together Alone") skewers sexual stereotypes, game-playing and relationships with a savage wit and a keen eye.
A close-knit group of poly-sexual, multiracial West Hollywood friends include: Tara (Jennifer Tilly, Bound, Bullets over Broadway"), who is desperate to have a turkey-baster child; her friend Vincey (Mitchell Anderson, "Party of Five"), a lovelorn gay playwright; Robin (Lori Petty, "Tank Girl, Prey for Rock & Roll"), who pines for the voluptuous Sarina (Cynda Williams, "More Tales of the City"), who in turn is ending a long-term relationship with Megan (Serena Scott Thomas). Add in even more hook-ups and break-ups, and you've got quite a stew brewing. As love, lust and controversy swirl around this playful bunch, you won't be able to help but fall in love with these great friends.
