Most people who didn't read the book would think this movie is going to be steamy. After all, isn't bondage and a little bit of S&M sound super naughty to you? It does! But France read the book. And they think it's super lame.
Mr Mary considers the film, that contains scenes of nudity and sadomasochism between an entrepreneur and a virginal student, ‘a romance, you could even say schmaltzy.’
The ’12’ rating follows accusations by several American and British reviewers that the film is too tame.
In a barrage of reviews published on Tuesday night, most of those who sat down with the raunchy adaptation ahead of its 13 February release date lamented its ‘run-of-the-mill’ lovemaking.
One critic pointed out that sex only makes up 15 minutes of the two-hour runtime. Another pointed out that there are no visible genitals, no orgasms – and not that much nudity.
So lame that they're going to allow 12-year-olds to watch the flick.
