Emmy Rossum (
The Phantom of the Opera), Zach Gilford (TV's
Friday Night Lights) and Ashley Springer (
Teeth) head up a stellar cast including Ana Gasteyer (
Mean Girls), Rooney Mara (
A Nightmare on Elm Street), comedienne Sandra Bernhard (TV's
Roseanne) and Alan Cumming (
X2: X-Men United) in this captivating story of high! school seniors at the crossroads of their adult lives. When a pompous actor tells good girl Alexa (Rossum) that she hasn't lived, she embarks on a bold journey that takes her to mysterious bad boy Johnny (Gilford). Envious, her shy best friend Ben (Springer) also dares to pursue Johnny, complicating Alexa's romance and pushing the boundaries among the three friends.
Stills from Dare With empathy, low-key h! umor, an d discreet sexual suggestiveness, Adam Salky expands his 2005 short into a critical look at the way stereotypes can define--and confine--teenagers. While working on a senior-class production of
A Streetcar Named Desire, three "types" collide: the good girl, the best friend, and the bad boy. Party girl Courtney (Rooney Mara) serves as the glue that binds the unlikely trio. Her studious friend, Alexa (
The Phantom of the Opera's Emmy Rossum), doesn't think rich boy Johnny (Zach Gilford) takes things seriously enough. Alexa's other friend, the sexually ambiguous Ben (
Teeth's Ashley Springer) supports her at the expense of his own needs, but their roles shift after theater actor Grant Matson (Alan Cumming in a too-short cameo) observes a rehearsal and praises Johnny's naturalism at the expense of Alexa's stiffness (Ben works the lights). The virginal Alexa decides to take Grant's advice to live a little, even seducing Johnny at a party. Their newfound closene! ss strains her relationship with Ben until he acts on a similar impulse, confusing the increasingly vulnerable Johnny further. The speed with which the central characters change doesn't always ring true, but the cast, including Ana Gasteyer as Ben's mother and Sandra Bernhard as Johnny's therapist, invests a schematic scenario with believability. Gilford, in particular, shines in his first significant part since nice-guy quarterback Matt Saracen on NBC's
Friday Night Lights. Fans of
Pretty in Pink and
Cruel Intentions, to which
Dare bears some comparison, should find Salky's first feature of particular interest.
--Kathleen C. FennessyFive friends dare each other to commit a specific sexual act within a week, in celebration of the first among them to get married. Sherry asks her two neighbors to join her for her first threesome.
This is the third story in the DARE series.
Warning: This SHORT STORY is suitable for 18+ only. I! t features M/F/M sex, anal play, and is not for the faint of h! eart.
Excerpt:
It wasn't as if they weren't hot. Her breasts swelled just thinking of Jared's round, firm ass and broad chest. Ethan was no slouch either. They both obviously worked out.
When no one answered, she feared no one was home. She couldn't decide if that was a relief or a royal pain. She had to have a threesome in the next two nights, since she'd put it off until Wednesday to try. Fuck it. She could always just show up at girls' night and say she couldn't find two willing men to sleep with her.
Ha. They'd never believe it.
As she turned to hurry back down the hall to her room, she heard the deadbolt unlock. A moment later the door opened. Jared stood in the doorway wearing a white towel and nothing else except wet skin. Yum!
"Oh, I'm sorry to get you out of the shower."
His eyes had made a slow trip up her stockings, over her hips and landed on her breasts, covered only by the small triangles of b! lack satin. Her nipples pebbled under his gaze, and his towel began to dance in front. "It's totally fine. Totally. Fine."
