The Midas Touch

Raunchy sex comedies are few and far between, especially when they allude to sex and comedy, but The Midas Touch touches all points (pun intended). Reminiscent of the old Russ Meyers sex farces of the 1970s, there are some truly steamy scenes with some fun moments throughout. Take a trip with a loser when he goes from the driest sexual existence to wanton to overstimulation and desensitization, a theme very prominent in our society today.

I think I watched a different film to everyone else. It tried to be clever funny and different but ended up a mess. There was no introduction to what was going on. It didn't seem that well acted. It made no sense. It was barely possible to follow. It felt like the result of a university project to get an artificial intelligence computer to recreate a British 60s sex comedy. I would avoid this. It is unwatchable.

Fantastic cinematography, striking visual and a fun thrilling quirky sensibility. The Midas Touch is a surprising good and hilarious and creative indie find. Def recommend it.

I couldn't help but fall out laughing at this movie as they put their characters into these ridiculous hilarious situations. Getting a chance to live most men's fantasy, our protagonist finds how too much of a good thing can go horribly wrong, and he gets put into situations he instantly regrets and we instantly love. I think it's worth pointing out that the theme of the movie is sex so there is a lot of it, but it is not gratuitous as it plays into the plot of the story so there is a purpose. Overall, it's a quirky comedy that is unapologetic and extremely hilarious.

There's a lot of creativity and comic ingenuity in the high concept "The Midas Touch"; Tilman Borck's black comedy fantasy. With a plot out of a late night Skinamax movie, shy Felix (a perfectly cast James Collaway) is given an ancient curse, making him irresistible to women. What really worked for me were all of the wacky sub-plots and side-adventures which jump off from this plot, including a political campaign for a man who punches graffiti-doers who mess up his signs. I would preface to say to put this one on after the kids go to bed and enjoy a funny and raunchy look at magical powers and classic battle of the sexes.
