Slut in a Good Way (French: Charlotte a du fun) is a Canadian black-and-white comedy film from Quebec written by Catherine Léger and directed by Sophie Lorain.
The film earned a positive reception from critics who applauded its sex-positive message and its novel approach to the coming-of-age and romantic comedy genres.
One day, Charlotte and her friends Mégane and Aube wander into the big-box toy store Jouets Dépôt, and after discovering that several attractive guys work there, the girls apply for part-time jobs.
The other girls at the store, also put off by the double standards concerning male and female sexuality, join Charlotte and Mégane in the pledge and help raise funds for women's cancer research.
In an attempt to show solidarity with the other guys who want to end the girls' "sex strike", Olivier approaches Aube and accompanies her home one day.
Shortly before Christmas, Charlotte goes to visit Léa, a single mother and Jouets Dépôt manager who has recently given birth.
Peter Debruge of Variety called it a "hilarious twist on the traditionally male-driven teen sex comedy, wherein immature young men spend considerable effort trying to convince someone to sleep with them", and wrote "this tiny Canadian crowd-pleaser argues there's nothing wrong if girls just want to have fun too.
"[9] Writing in The New York Times, Teo Bugbee said, "In satisfying fashion, Slut in a Good Way recognizes the potential for cruelty that exists as teenagers experiment and learn through sex, but its portrait of adolescence never feels less than loving.
"[10] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a grade of B+, writing "even if Lorain’s tidy ending is more than a little idealized, Slut is far more gratifying and empowering than most of the material Hollywood’s Lolita Industrial Complex turns out when it comes to young women’s sexuality.
"[12] Castillo said the black-and-white cinematography gives the film a "modern yet romantic" feel, and also praised the lead actors, writing "Bouchard, Adam and Denis’s naturalistic performances bring these lively characters off the page in a way that’s effortlessly charming.
