Film Review: Fifty Shades Leaves Little To The Unknown

Fifty Shades of Grey has been a worldwide box office phenomenon. Now the movie is available on DVD and Blu-ray, and it comes with a lot of bonus features.

Anastasia Steele is your regular college student occupied by school, work, and spending a night out at the bars. She seems so average that she has to become the object of affection for billionaire playboy Christian Grey. Anastasia or Ana, meets Christian as part of a school assignment. How many college students have this sort of access to corporate moguls? Initially Ana isn’t impressed with Mr. Grey, after all the interviewed him on the behalf of her roommate. Instantaneously, Christian takes a liking to Ana. Her seemingly simple and shy persona must be what appeals to a man who has it all. Mind you that Christian is barely older than Ana.
 Christian doesn’t waste any time pursuing Ana. Arriving at her work (hardware store), now what’s a auspicious guy like him doing at a hardware store? Kinda odd. Ana is eventually swayed and becomes smitten with Christian’s pursuit of her. The courtship turns into an all-out sexual affair. The innocent virgin soon becomes a sex vixen, with Christian’s sexual fetishes becoming part of their relationship arrangement. A plethora of sex-filled romps occur. From whips to blindfolds, all leading to the red room (not a room filled with Xbox games). This all-out sexual marathon doesn’t let up.


Overall, Fifty Shades isn’t just a movie for women. I think men can find some fun in it (not only for the sex). It’s not a great movie by any means, claims have been made that it’s mommy soft-core porn, but it’s not necessarily that. An expensive Lifetime movie, with added glitz, glamour, and sexuality. The movie has made money for a reason- the concept sells. If you haven’t read the books or seen the movie to this point and are curious what the hoopla is all about, it’s worth checking out the DVD. The Blu-ray features might give you better insight than the movie itself, so get the Blu-ray combo instead.
