Opposite of Sex

Release Date: 1999-04-20, Rating R (Restricted),

Deedee Truitt (Christina Ricci) is the opposite of sweet sixteen. Politically incorrect, outrageous and bracingly honest, she descends on the Indiana town of her half-brother Bill (Martin Donovan) like the force of nature she is. Within weeks Deedee seduces his beautiful but befuddled live-in-boyfriend Matt (Ivan Sergei), announces Matt s the father of her unborn child and escapes with him--and $10,000 of Bill s money--to the not-so-bright lights of Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Matt s other boyfriend (Johnny Galecki) blames Bill for his disappearance, and gets even by pushing for an investigation by the local sheriff (Lyle Lovett) -- who incidentally carries a torch for Bill s best friend Lucia (Lisa Kudrow), a wickedly acid spinster who disapproves of everything Deedee does - and hey, who can blame her? It s a chase, buoyant comedy of manners, a celebration of the unpredictable. But ultimately it s the story of six confused, touching and hilarious people who eventually stumble into what they ve wanted all along:
