When uptight accountant Jordan Abrams proposes marriage to his life-long soul mate Rachel, she finally reveals the painful truth: he's terrible in bed. Frustrated and deeply unsatisfied, Rachel dumps him, and Jordan embarks on a desperate mission to seek some much-needed sexual experience and acquire some basic requisite skills. Committed to doing whatever it takes to win Rachel back, Jordan enlists the guidance of Julia - a sexually liberated but emotionally guarded exotic dancer – who leads him into an unfamiliar world of strip clubs, sensual massage parlors, cross-dressing and S & M. My Awkward Sexual Adventure is a fun, sexy and ultimately charming comedy.
Reviews- Tiff.net: sharply directed ... a very funny script ... exceptional cast. And, perhaps unusually for a sex comedy, it's surprisingly educational...
- Variety.com: briskly paced farce does offer a winning performance by Emily Hampshire
- Thetfs.ca: It's funny (at least one scene made me laugh until I cried), sweet, relatable and it feels like a Hollywood romantic comedy. The chemistry between Chernick and Hampshire makes for an extremely watchable comedy.
- Thematinee.ca: This movie is really funny ... well-concieved and well-executed.
- Screendaily.com: Chernick isn't shy about exploring Jordan's endless humiliations and his sexual unattractiveness. Yet he brings complexity and some fresh laughs to nerd-dom with his accountant's-eye-view of life and love.
- Filmslatemagazine.com: uses humor as an instrument for insight ... brought to life thanks to Hampshire and Chernick's offbeat and highly watchable chemistry. Must-sees at the festival.
- Whistler Film Festival: undoubtfully the funniest Canadian sex comedy ever made.
- TheStar.com: Filmmaking sparks and a combustible cast set this rom-com blazing. Packed with randy cheer, not at all afraid to push that 18A Ontario film rating to the limit, Chernick and Hampshire make a grand pair.
- Calgary International Film Festival 2012: People's Choice Award

A married couple is making increasingly wild attempts to recapture the magic of their now-routine marriage. Husband Josh and his wife Emma have an empty house for one week. With their daughters off at a winter-break sleepaway camp, they attempt to recapture the magic of their now-comfortable marriage with increasingly wild developments, kicking off with a less-than-satisfactory marital romp and a run-in with a couple they know who are separating.
Reviews- Digitaljournal.com: Funny because it feels so true. Does an excellent job of embracing and showcasing the humour of their situation. Chernick and Hampshire deliver excellent performances, nailing the chemistry essential to the narrative's success, as well as exhibiting spot-on comedic timing.
- Screenzealots.com: Finds humor in clumsy sexual encounters and increasingly uncomfortable situations. Impeccably cast, with believeable actors playing equally credible characters.
- Skonmovies.com: Harmless fun about a couple trying to spice up their marriage.
- Shockya.com: Fun and provides a humorous look at the way that marriage, and any relationship, can change over time.
- Solzyatthemovies.com: This is the sort of film where the comedy just writes itself, especially with the situations that they find themselves in. A proven winner for any distributor acquiring the film out of Toronto (!)
- Thatshelf.com: Chernick and Hampshire display great chemistry throughout. Their performances allow the characters to feel like relatable people rather than caricatures. A sharp and refreshing comedy, The End of Sex is a perfect date night flick.
