Until it loses its way in the last couple of scenes which proved very seedy compared with everything that had gone before, this was an extremely erotic two hours which is definitely one to watch with your partner.
While making sure the eye-candy is great for the guys - and in Jennifer Burton and Monique Parent we have two of the best, with not a speck of silicone in sight thank goodness - the director makes sure he chose a couple of stars who could actually act too, so the character development was pretty good for a film devoting to offering as many sexy scenes as it could.
The whole film is seen from the female point of view, with the two married couples being seen to agonise about whether they should push the boundaries on their marriages - there is no way these people would jump into bed with just anyone.
So this gave Play Time the realism that both men and women can identify with, as well as being predominantly a story of loving and straightforward sex between two sets of happily married, if stuck in a sexual rut, couples.
The sex scenes are enormously erotic, probably because they are never graphic - a level of eroticism usually only seen in continental soft porn like one of my all-time favourites Emmanuelle.
Highly recommended.
