The Opposite of Sex

Released 1998
Stars Christina Ricci, Martin Donovan, Lisa Kudrow, Lyle Lovett, Ivan Sergei, Johnny Galecki
Directed by Don Roos

Bold, clever black comedy about a truculent 16-year-old girl who runs away from home to stay with her gay half-brother, willfully disrupts his relationships, and sets his life into a spin. Writer-director Roos creates a gallery of unusual and interesting characters, but it's a tie who has the smartest, funniest lines--Ricci, as the smart-alecky heroine/narrator, or Kudrow, as the brother's sour confidante.
