5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise!, March 2, 2002

Ever rent or buy a movie for one reason, but end up having the film pleasantly surprise you for other reasons? That's what happened w/me when I bought FULL BODY MASSAGE.

Granted, the primary reason most people (like me!) are going to purchase this movie is the implication that Mimi Rogers is going to be naked thru most of it. Not to worry, the movie delivers in this aspect. I HATE it when some flicks have the promise of being saturated with nudity, but come to find out there is maybe a grand total of 5 seconds worth in the entire film. That's not the case with this movie.

Rogers has a unique, exotic elegance. Hers' is not the type of beauty that you will find on a bikini poster. Rather, her appearance has a much more serene and mysterious flavor to it. This, combined with the fact that she is middle-aged, give this production a nice mature (not in the sexual sense), almost sophisticated tenor.

The other major character is played by the Australian actor Bryan Brown. He doesn't seem to do too many roles, but he does pop up every now and again. He is a massage therapist who "sits in" for the normal therapist of Rogers' character. His accent is a nice touch, although I did get a bit tired of him pronouncing massage as "mAssage" (with a long A sound).

What is really refreshing about this film, however, is that it truly tells the story about both characters. It also delves into the various aspects, histories and techniques of massage therapy. Instead of being just a film for a male audience, I would argue that it is a borderline date movie. There's a lot more substance to it than you may think. The incidental music is also very fitting, giving the film an overall soft-jazz feel.

The only criticism I have is that Rogers' character only pays the masseuse $100 when its all over. Then, she is told, $100 is too much. That's an absurdly low cost. First, given all of the myriad techniques that he did, he must have been there for hours. I know that $100 won't even get you a HALF hour at some of the most respectable massage parlors. Second, it would cost a whole lot more than that for the masseuse to come & set up shop at your home (which was the case here). Third, given the fact that Roger's character lives in a bona-fide mansion & drives a brand new Mercedes, it is difficult to fathom her inviting bargain-basement massage therapists into her home.

All that aside, this is not just a good erotic movie, but is a genuinely good movie, period. If you're a fan of Mimi Rogers, Bryan Brown and / or full body massages, this one is a can't miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mimi's Nude, Ample Breasts Worth the Price of This Video, March 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Full Body Massage [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've always wanted to see Mimi Rogers' ample breasts, and this movie delivers them in all their glory! Bryan Brown is one lucky guy when he gets to oil and massage them! I would have done it for nothing! The plot isn't so hot, but Mimi certainly is!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mimi!!!, December 9, 2005

The Doctor (Deep South USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Full Body Massage [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I purchased this movie for one reason and one reason only. To see Mimi nude and this movie delivered. Mimi has a natural beauty; she is a normal woman who is quite sexy and what can I say about her magnificent breasts. Nothing like Mimi's body all oiled up!
All Mimi fans should see this movie.
