Lilly Singh’s ‘Doin’ It’ Opens in Theaters to Mixed Reviews

Reviews highlight a lively star performance alongside concerns about formula and thin characterization.

Overview

  • Lilly Singh stars as Maya, a late-bloomer who lands a high school sex-ed teaching job, in a raunchy, sex-positive comedy directed by Sara Zandieh.
  • Aura Entertainment released the 92-minute film on September 19, 2025, with Zandieh co-writing the script with Singh and Neel Patel.
  • Critics credit Singh with carrying the film and delivering consistent laughs, with several noting effective gross-out set pieces.
  • Reviews fault predictable plotting, underwritten supporting roles, and uneven attempts to balance message-driven sex-ed commentary with shock humor.
  • The movie premiered at SXSW and arrives as part of a recent wave of women-led updates to the sex-comedy genre, and it is now playing in select theaters.
