Sexy Baby

A thoughtful film which makes a good start
Many trends in the last decade in Americans' attitudes with regards to sexual behavior are highlighted in this film. Most of the screen time is given to an articulate young woman named Winnifred. She's really the film's voice although the other women, Laura and Nichole, provide reinforcement on issues like surgery and employment in the sex industry which Winnifred is not old enough to face.
