When Anastasia Steele, a literature student, goes to interview the wealthy Christian Grey as a favor to her roommate Kate Kavanagh, she encounters a beautiful, brilliant and intimidating man. The innocent and naive Ana starts to realize she wants him. Despite his enigmatic reserve and advice, she finds herself desperate to get close to him. Not able to resist Ana's beauty and independent spirit, Christian Grey admits he wants her too, but on his own terms. Ana hesitates as she discovers the singular tastes of Christian Grey - despite the embellishments of success, his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, and his loving family, Grey is consumed by the need to control everything.

This movie raped my Intelligence
This movie is atrocious
beyond words, and the first movie from which I've ever walked out (an
hour and 17 minutes into it). The session was full of giggling
middle-aged women, wetting themselves with anticipation - I cannot
believe this book and movie has appeal. Are women really so bored, so
desperate, that this is what gets them off?? The acting was appalling - I
guess that's the end of Ms Johnson & Mr Dornan's careers. And I
wouldn't be surprised if the actors who refused the role of Christian
Grey are secretly relieved they had the sense to reject it! The script
was laughable. No chemistry between the two leads. As for the
'eroticism'.....it was completely lacking. Stilted, awkward, poor
cinematography, cheesy scripting. Just terrible.
