Doin’ It is the latest film from comedian and creator Lily Singh (The Bad Guys 2). It is a bold, raunchy, and surprisingly heartfelt take on sex education and personal growth. The movie follows Singh’s character, a 30-year-old virgin with a dream of launching a groundbreaking app. To legitimize her project, she becomes a substitute teacher for sex education classes. For her, it becomes an experience that is as absurd as it is eye-opening.

From the very beginning, Doin’ It sets a crass and unapologetically humorous tone. If you’ve been following Lily, you know she brings her bold, hilarious energy to everything she does, and this film is no exception.

While the film doesn’t shy away from explicit content, it’s this fearless approach that allows it to explore deeper themes, such as the shame and stigma many people feel about sex. I don’t know about you, but my sex education was different at every school I went to. The “they’ll learn it on the bus” or abstinence-only approach is outdated, and frankly, unrealistic. Doin’ It addresses the shortcomings of traditional sex education, particularly abstinence-only teachings, showing how a lack of proper guidance leaves young people to rely on movies, TV, and the internet for knowledge.

So, as Singh’s character takes matters into her own hands, the movie takes a funny, absurdist approach, but it’s also surprisingly thoughtful. The story guides students to understand not just the mechanics of sex but the emotional and social nuances that often go unaddressed. In doing so, she also confronts her own upbringing, personal repression, and societal taboos, transforming the film into a story about self-liberation and healing. It’s messy, it’s bold, and it’s really relatable if you’ve ever felt confused or judged about sexuality.

By tackling sex education through a humorous yet insightful lens, Lily Singh makes the subject approachable and relatable, showing that laughter can coexist with meaningful life lessons.

So, if you’re looking for a movie that is outrageously funny, refreshingly honest, and surprisingly thoughtful, Doin’ It is worth a watch.
