The life of Eddie, a young handsome teacher, who moves into a small town, in order to take his new position, where he makes his mind to give his students sex education, has been changed completely, when he faces the angry priest of the town.
Surprise of all surprises, it's a real charmer, a scrappy little comedy about sex positivism in an era when Americans still feel super duper uncomfortable frankly talking about anything and everything erotic.
Filthy conversations abound, mostly with a handful of trash-talking students and a series of female characters apparently conjured from a frat-boy wish list.
Overall, it's a sex positive film that suggests that whether you're swinging from the chandeliers or staying at home in your PJs, what really matters is what you think about yourself.
Mildly funny and about 15 minutes too long, Sex Ed has a funny cast, particularly a kid played by Isaac White, who gets some hilariously rude dialogue.
Even with considerable flaws, Sex Ed does offer a few charms, including a committed lead performance from Haley Joel Osment, whose depiction of dented dignity and comic timing supports the picture when it needs it the most.
"Sex Ed" is a likable little comedy that features such a well-conceived and portrayed main character it makes up for the film's slender concept and leaps in logic.
