(rated R, 84 mins.) Not meant to be complicated, not meant to get all emotionally involved, a young wildlife photographer (David Wenham) and a dress maker (Susie Porter) end up in the sheets after a cocktail party in Australia. He’s leaving for his homeland of London in three days so what’s to worry? There’s no commitment here. Not. The story of a one-night stand that goes wrong for all the right reasons. We spend three long (did I stress long) days that translates into 84 minutes of screen time dissecting, understanding and watching two people have very intimate moments that we never care about from the get-go. Although David Wenham has a really nice butt on screen. That’s something to care about. What’s “Better Than Sex”? Watching the lights go up in the theatre.
