The People I've Slept With

Eventually, Angela comes to understand that it is she who is being reborn. Dare we call it a "grow-mance"?

Lee's young actors shine with talent and personality, but the film's gravitas lies in the wisdom and insight of Angela's loving father, so beautifully played by the distinguished veteran James Shigeta.

A little too well behaved at times, but zips along nicely when its raunchier elements kick in.

Largely devoid of the sex-farce style comic wit to which it aspires, the film is palatable largely because of the charm of lead actress Cheung.

A raunchy romantic comedy that, like its heroine, rarely has both feet on the ground.

The gallery of eccentric ex-lovers provides a few yuks, but the fact that the film's trajectory sees going from sexuality-owning independence to conventional respectability as a quantum leap is remarkably depressing, even if Angela's final resolve complicates such an easy progression.

(It) notably liberated itself from the fusty tradition that a sex comedy should either titillate or tickle an audience.
