As any longtime viewer of softcore films knows, most flicks tend to follow certain formulas and patterns. We always seem to know what to expect, just like in porn films, so it's a refreshing change of pace to see that writer/director John Quinn has thrown formula to the wayside and delivered a softcore film that colors outside the lines a bit.
Just when you think a love scene is going to happen, something happens to move the story beyond that point, or perhaps a quick panning edit will take us away from the action and leave the visuals up to our imagination. But don't worry, there is no flesh denied here; all the lovelies are on ample display throughout the film. Just when you think you've been ripped off, you discover later that you were actually given more change back then you deserved!
The story revolves around two couples, Frank and Stephanie and David and Madeline. Frank and Stephanie are rich Hollywood producers, so bored with their contemporary relationship that they take to spying on their houseguests via high-tech surveillance equipment. David and Madeline, on the other hand, are still struggling for their first big breaks. He's a screenwriter and she's an actress, which comes in handy when it comes to convincing Frank and Stephanie to let them use their guesthouse. You see, their relationship is entirely fictitious - designed to help them find decent accomodations while honing their crafts. The truth is they really can't stand each other.
Hmmm...or can they?
With a cast fleshed out by porn stars such as Teanna Kai and Dee Summer, the nudity in this film is nothing short of full-on explicit, with the most realistic sex simulations I've seen in a long time. This realism sends the steam levels soaring high, and if your pulse isn't pounding within the first ten minutes of this film then you might as well jump in a six foot deep hole and bury yourself.
I highly recommend this film to couples. There are psychological elements combined with visually explicit ones, and for once the music takes a back seat while the actor's moans and deep breathing invite the viewer in as a voyeur instead of shutting us out with howling guitars or a score that drowns out the sounds of the action. Highly recommended for fans of this genre.
