What happens

Coming Soon is a 1999 American sex comedy film directed by Colette Burson and written by Burson and Kate Robin. It stars Bonnie Root, Gaby Hoffmann, Tricia Vessey and Ryan Reynolds. The plot centers on three seniors at a Manhattan prep school and their search for sexual satisfaction. It has been described as a female-centric American Pie. It marked Ashton Kutcher's film debut. The film premiered at the LA Film Festival on April 17, 1999. On the festival circuit, the film was received with enthusiasm by female audiences. Though it contained no nudity or violence, the film was given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA. To achieve an R rating needed for commercial release, Burson made cuts and edits. Though multiple Hollywood studios expressed interest in releasing the recut film, they ultimately passed. The film found distribution with Unapix Entertainment Productions, who gave it a limited theatrical release beginning on May 12, 2000. It thereafter received a direct-to-video release on September 12, 2000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
