“After seeing Skipped Parts, and reading all the user reviews, I see why so many are repelled by the movie, but Iu0026#39;m one of the ones fascinated by it. In order to care about a movie, I have to care about at least one character, and in this movie, it definitely was the case, with the Sam Callahan young male part. Although itu0026#39;s true that hardly anyone went through what Sam and his young girlfriend went through, it was captivating to me to see Sam want, so much, to be a real boyfriend to his rather matter-of-fact fellow sexual experimenter. I identified his caring for, and attraction to, girls, with my own young life. As for his momu0026#39;s character: yes, she was waaayy out there, but I have known women like that, so they *do* exist. I think that, overall, Skipped Parts is one of those movies where you have to give in to the situation a little, and go with it. IF (and this is critical) you have been through at least some of the feelings, if not actual situations, these characters experience, I think youu0026#39;ll agree that the 93 minutes, or so, spent in their world is not wasted time (although I think one time was enough for me…too many other great movies out there to see!).”
