This is a late-night, softcore erotic drama, similar to stuff being shown on Showtime or Cinemax. There are quite a few skin scenes here, with a few girl-girl scenes that get a little steamy, but end relatively quickly.

Most erotic movies of this type tend to have maybe 2 or 3 major love scenes, but this one has about 8 or 9 scenes total, some as short as 2 minutes, others as long as 5 minutes. Nothing raunchy, but some scenes do fall into the "unrated" category.

The story is relatively boring and uninteresting, about a smalltown girl who visits the big city for the first time, but the beautiful lead actress, Susan Featherly, who is on the cover, reminds me of an Americanized version of supermodel Elle MacPherson and simply captures my attention.

The DVD itself is a barebones DVD, with just a chapter selection menu. The video transfer is pretty clean, but the colors are a bit dull. There are no subtitles or captions, just a 2-channel stereo sound signal.

In comparison to regular movies, this is a weak unoriginal movie. However, in comparison to other late-night softcore erotica, this is actually one of the better ones I've run across, as most everything is done with taste.

Gabriella (Susan Featherly) is an innocent, naive, young girl living a simple country life with... ah, forget it! She's stupid white trash! She catches her husband cheating on her, so she leaves for LA. She picks up a hitchhiker and has sex with him. When she gets to LA, she becomes a stripper. This catches the attention of some rich guy. She ditches the hitchiker and goes to live with the rich guy where she achieves her lifelong dream of being a trophy wife. Ten years from now Gabriella will REALLY be awakened when her sugar daddy dumps her for another 20-something bimbo.

Unfortunately, the pain I endured watching this was not adequetely offset with hot sex scenes. There are seven sex scenes, two strip scenes, a nude massage scene, and a non-sex girl/girl bath scene. Five of the sex scenes are boy/girl and two are girl/girl. Only four of the sex scenes were decent. Two of them went by too quickly, and the other one consisted almost entirely of the girl's head bouncing up and down on my television screen. The only memorable one was the lesbian scene between Susan and Jeannie Millar.

The women are all beautiful. In addition to Susan and Jeannie, there is also Taimie Hannum and two other women that I didn't recognize. But what's the point of beautiful women if the director just wastes them?

This wasn't a total bomb, but could have been much better. Do I recommend this? I think it all comes down to how badly you want to see Jeannie Millar, since she's super hot, but not in much stuff. If that isn't important to you, look elsewhere.

This DVD was totally hot in the beginning, Gabriella (Susan Featherly) arrives home to discover her husband is unsatisfied with her innocence, and is indulging during a lunch break with one of the hottest young gals I've seen in a long time..Angie (Penthouse Pet Hotted Crystal Craft) Monte and Craft by far have the hottest scene in this flick ... lucky for you & your partner; it's in the first five minutes! After all's said and done, be assured this film will only spice up your evening.

I've kind of become a fan of these Playboy/Image Entertainment films. The girls are always achingly hot, and generally the acting and the plot is acceptable. This film may be one of the best of the bunch. In it, you have a gorgeous girl-turned-dancer-turned-voyeur-turned lesbian. What more do you need? The two girls in the lead roles are exceedingly gorgeous. I do think it could have pushed the envelope abit more--especially the scenes with the women. Too often the action in these scenes seems forced, and scripted. Just once I'd like to see two women really getting into it (without the XXX rating). Worth a look. Good couples viewing.

Gabriella is taking a shower and the camera captures her full nudity. She is spectacularly and enjoys sex. However, catching her true husband in sex, she runs away blaming herself for inexperience. Finding a guitar guy on the road, they make love in a motel. Then she learns about the chance to earn big money stripping. Lots of frontal nudity. During her first strip solo, a full-figured Asian lady gives her a $$$ offer just for
dancing at a guy's mansion. As she is dancing nude, the lady is devoring
the guy. Then the two ladies touch each other and the lesbos begins.
Returning the next night, she is invited to stay. But he plays it cool,
giving her a full body massage with warm sensual oils. Of course she
repays him in kind. After some sharing, she asks him to love her.
They get intertwined. Gabriella has awakenend to the joys of sex and is
fully satisfied. The plot isn't. There is a lot of female nudity
although not male. Gabriella is lucious. If you want some fun, perhaps
with a lover, this is a good film. Enjoy yourselves afterward. I saw it on a VHS copy which was very vivid. Good too is you are lonely & hot.

Hey fella's your girls' got you "locked" out? Throw this one in the machine and get busy! -OR- Your girl want to try to get turned on by video... watch it together...for LOADS of fun! Don't get me wrong...there's no story line worth following but you don't buy movies like this for the story line....do you!

Crystal Craft ( Penthouse Pet) is actually Hotter than the star, Susan Featherly. Her Scene with
actor Paul Monte is the only actual Steam in this flick, but you can get much hotter than this
without a (XXX) rating....

Incredible looking girls. The sex was good but it could have gone farther, especially between the two women. The story was unbelievable however and the acting very bad. It's not steamy and it's not comical. It lies somewhere inbetween, leaving you to wonder why they chose this stage to display so much nakedness. Even for a quick "pick-me-up" it is disapointing.

I think this movie had a good story to it !! And the best part is Taimie Hannum ... struting her dancing skills , she is a true pro ! Thank God she has her website with so much more to see of Taimie
