Jim Enright and his writer George Kaplan made many laudable movies, but this Wicked Pictures release, now over 20 years old, conjured up a definite reaction upon viewing: low-key. Romantic Couples films, which have been Wicked's bread and butter over the years, shouldn't be this flat.
The subject matter concerns Joelean using her family recipes, handed down over three generations, to start a business baking muffins. Her secret weapon is using mandrake root to give an aphrodisiac aspect to the product.
She and her business partner Alex Foxe raise money from banks and investors by giving out muffin samples and also haing sex with them. The aphrodisiac seems to work instantly. But there's no drama, no character development, just muffins and sex. It's hardly a formula to keep any viewer interested, and that includes couples looking for something exciting to watch. Even reliable stars like Kylie Ireland seem enervated.
