Das Gegenteil von Sex

dedee truitt (christina ricci) is the opposite of sweet sixteen. politically incorrect, outrageous, and bracingly honest, she descends on the indiana town of her half-brother bill (martin donovan) like the force of natura she is. within weeks dedee suduces his beautiful but befuddled live-in-boyfriend matt (ivan sergei), announces matt's the father of her unborn child, and escapes with him - and $10'000 of bill's money - to the not-so-bright lights of los angeles.
meanwhile, matt's other boyfriend (johnny galecki) blames bill for his disappearance, and gets even by pushing for an investigation by the local sheriff (lyle lovett) - who incidentally carries a torch for bill's best friend lucia (lisa kudrow), a wickedly acid spinster who disapproves of everything dedee does - and hey, who can blame her?
it's a chase, buoyant comedy of manners, a celebration of the unpredictable. but ultimately it's the story of six confused, touching, and hilarious people who eventually stumble into what they've wanted all along: loving, committed relationships - what dedee calls "the opposite of sex".
