Anastasia Steele (Johnson) is a demure young English literature student at WSU Vancouver who reluctantly agrees to interview the handsome but icy, intimidating young business entrepreneur Christian Grey (Dornan) for her college newspaper. Enticed by his mojo and magnetic personality she begins seeing him, but soon learns that sexual dominance is his ultimate aphrodisiac. While her mind may tell her to put the kibosh on it before it begins, her body tells her something else entirely. For a movie that's meant to be the epitome of erotic this doesn't really generate much heat; DJ and JD lack fervent chemistry despite their clear willingness to perform in the buff while immersed in whips, chains, BDSM paraphernalia, and other kinky sexcapades. For as long as it requires the viewer to sit through all the sadomasochistic foreplay, it sure doesn't provide anything resembling a legitimate payoff. **
