What You Need To Know:
According to the press notes for SOME BODY, co-writer Stephanie Bennett, who also plays Samantha, and her director and co-writer, Henry Barrial, tried to depict the "existential panic" of their generation. They have succeeded in doing this, but they offer no real solutions to their characters' problems. SOME BODY also contains plenty of foul language, sexual immorality, nudity, and drug use. The positive insights gained into the empty relationships of Samantha and Anthony's generation are not worth sitting through such immoral behavior

More Detail:
SOME BODY is a low budget digital movie about the problems of maintaining a romantic relationship in contemporary American society. Though not without its insights and compelling performances, the sexual messages and other content in the movie are excessive.
In the story, Samantha, a young elementary teacher in Los Angeles, leaves her live-in boyfriend, Anthony, because she thinks they have gotten “too comfortable.” Samantha also apparently has some “wild oats” to sow with other men. A one-night stand with a neighbor in her new apartment complex and a visit to her family in Texas make Samantha regret her decision to break up with Anthony. She tries to get back together, but he already has a new girlfriend, Eve. Forced to move on, Samantha embarks on a series of relationships. One of them starts to work out, but falters because of a lie. Meanwhile, Anthony’s relationship with Eve also hits a snag.
According to the press notes for SOME BODY, co-writer Stephanie Bennett, who also plays Samantha, and her director and co-writer, Henry Barrial, tried to depict the “existential panic” of their generation. They have succeeded in doing this, but they offer no real solutions, much less Christian solutions, to their characters’ problems. SOME BODY also contains plenty of foul language, sexual immorality, nudity, and drug use.
The insights gained into the empty relationships of Samantha and Anthony’s generation are not worth sitting through such immoral behavior. Regrettably, however, this is the wicked reality that confronts many young people in this generation. The Church needs to wake up and make a stronger effort to help such young adults have faith in the answers that Jesus Christ provides, so that they can be “led by the Spirit of God” (Romans 8:14).
