A sex-positive feminist punk-rock coming-of-age story. Way lo-fi and very charming. The performances are uneven at times but the script is really funny and rings very true. It's the most unsentimental and realistic portrayal of sexual awakening that I've ever seen. Like a low-budget "Slums of Beverly Hills," only far better.

Mary Jane is one of those low budget movies that we are all supposed to love because it's a low budget movie, but that just doesn't fly. This is a film with almost no redeeming qualities. The camera work is bad, the lighting is bad, and most of the actors couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. It even lacks the one thing that sets most indie films apart and costs nothing, a good script. I have no doubts as to why this film is having a hard time getting distributed, and it has nothing to do with the film's controversial content. The fact of the matter is this movie is just plain bad.

Painful to watch. Mary Jane's first sexual experience is not the romantic and sexual pleasing experience she was hoping for. Her first clue should have been when her new found stud and loser lover took her to the local graveyard and first spread out his blanket before spreading Mary Jane's legs and doing the pump, pump, pump, grunt, grunt, grunt. So Mary Jane tells her louse of a lover to get off her and drop her off at her art nouveau theater where she immediately commenced telling everyone and anyone of her losing her virginity and asking them about their own sexual experiences. My take on this film was it is boring and will only lead to snoring. Snooze fest and amateurish. Rates 1 out of 10 and that's far too generous.
