This is definately a chick movie,but has alot of laughs with an ensemble cast of very talented ladies.This movie has alot of talk between women about sex,personal fantasy and turn ons. Its not the kind of thing that men would hear women talk about(very enlightening,it seems women talk about sex even more than men do). I still suggest this video for men because there is alot of eye candy:Kim Cattrail in a g-string teddy and Olivia d'abo in a lesbian fantasy scene along with Dana DeLany in a fantasy spanking scene and Cynthia Stevenson running around in her underwear. This movie is aimed at women but is really ok for guys too.

You have to smile at the idea of all of those viewers, predominantly of the male persuasion, who took one look at the title of this DVD, and may be a second look at Olivia D'Abo, Dana Delaney, and Kim Cattrall on the cover, and decided to rent it only to end up being bitterly disappointed. You have to give credit to writer-director Julianna Lavin because she reneges on all three parts of her title. Working back to front, except for some flashbacks the characters are women in their early thirties and not girls, the nudity is more emotional than physical (and for the latter you have to look really quick and then wait for the end of the movie when there is a lot of water), and when there is nudity it tends to occur in fantasy rather than reality. So there are going to be people totally devoid of any understand of the concept or irony who are not going to like this movie and the fact that what substantive nude scenes exist are erotic as defined from the feminine perspective will just be seen as adding insult to injury by the same.

Those who should enjoy "Live Nude Girls" will be woman of the same ages as the characters. Jill (Delaney) is the gossip of the group, Jamie (Cattrall) is a B-movie actress who may or may not be getting married, Marcy (Cynthia Stevenson) is being blackmailed by her soap opera star boyfriend (Glenn Quinn), and Rachel (Laila Robins) is basically stuck being Jill's uptight sister. They have gathered at the house of Georgina (Lora Zane), who is bisexual and currently living with Chris (d'Abo), for what would be described as a slumber party as long as everybody involved understands sleeping will probably not be involved. What will be involved is talking, mostly about sex, which necessarily involves talking about relationships and get to talking about fantasies as well. There is not a specific plot against which these conversations are held. Jamie's fiancé is at his bachelor's party and she expects the worst, Marcy has reason to worry about Randy showing up, Jane has something she does not want to tell Rachel, and Georgina and Chris are having problems, but what serves as the climax for this movie is the sun coming up the next morning.

There is more humor to be found in this 1995 movie than profound insights. I liked the gender-reversal conversation that Marcy has with Randy, especially since a man would never dare have such a grin on his face while saying the exact same things, but for the most part it is the act of self-disclosure and not what is actually disclosed that matters the most here. Men are usually the subject of the film's barbs, which proves that boys will be boys when it comes to immediately picturing women naked and that men will as likely behave like boys as well given the opportunity at a bachelor's party. I was going to say that the weak part of the film is how it keeps the character of Chris on the periphery, which allows Georgina to indulge in flights of fantasy, but since ultimately I find the point of "Live Nude Girls" to be that talking and talking about everything is important, I have to admit the point is underscored in the negative by Chris's self-exclusion from the gab fest (and certainly reinforced by what she does during the finale in the pool). If Lavin gets her viewers to not only admit they should have their own slumber party, but actually end up having one, then she will have done well by making this film.

A better title might have been, "Chatty Neurotic Girls". Very talky and static; not terrifically engaging, unless you like the idea of eavesdropping at a substantially atypical girls' night out. There's a fine, attractive cast (Cattrall seems to be rehearsing her character from "Sex and the City," from what this cable-deprived fellow has read of that series), but (yawn) not much to do, and the situations are SO drearily melodramatic. More live nudity would have been an improvement.

It is not often us men are allowed to peer into the conversations of the human female. What do women talk about all day? Better yet what do really HOT women talk about all day? If this movie truly portrays such a thing, then women talk about sex just as much as men do. They don't necessarily THINK about it, but I guess if you're talking about it that necessitates that they think about it too. Anyways, yes the movie is entitled LIVE NUDE GIRLS, and yes all the leading ladies in this movie ARE in fact nude in this movie. Men, especially myself find this movie very compelling to watch as it has the unbelieveably HOT Dana Delany in it, as sexy as ever. It also includes the equally hot Kim Catrall. They sit around in their house, talk about problems, sexual fantasies, and even have a sweet discussion with their gay pool cleaner. This film should not be considered a talkie as it has sexual content and more sexual content. Not that I mind, I always wanted to see Dana Delany get a spanking while wearing garters and stockings. The bottom line is even though the movie is practically nothing BUT sex, it's good for both the Male and Female perspective so maybe we can understand each others minds a little better... What the hell am I saying??? You're only going to see it for the sex anyway!!!

The title of this film is very deceiving & it's pretty clear that it was designed to lure people in. I actually saw this movie way back in the early 90s. I forgot all about it and got excited and bought it a few years back. I thought it was a sure-fire to be wall-to-wall skin. After all, it features 2 names (Dana Delany and Kim Cattral) who have shown no aversion to shedding their clothes in other movies.

Well, I was way wrong. There is MAYBE 10 seconds worth of nudity in the whole movie. It's also supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't find it particularly humorous, either.

For what it is, it's an OK movie. It details what is basically a slumber party for a group of grown women. Some of the dialogue about sex is cool - kind of like finding out what goes on in a women's locker room. There's also some exploration of how being a lesbian might make life more "simple" than being straight.

However, in the end, I found this to be a pretty dull film. Most importantly, it does not deliver on what the title promises. I would be far more forgiving if they had named this movie something else, but I do detest false-advertising.

if you like to see women over 40 talk to each other, occasionally yelling, then this is the movie for you. actual nudity amounts to less than 10 minutes of tape (spread throughout) and the clothing is rarely revealing. of course there is no plot, just a small party for one of the characters who is about to enter into her third marriage. the only scene that includes all of them nude *together* is at the end in a dark pool from a camera in the sky... you can barely make out their faces. this was a pathetic film that wanted to attract an audience with a flashy title

I have seen this movie several times now and I think its just the greatest ever. I must say it does compare to "Cantilly Lace" but "live nude girls" is much better. All the characters were believable and were well carried out. I think this film leaves you wanting more at the end. The question still stands whether or not Georgina will leave Chris, will Jill and Rachel come to terms, etc etc. I guess it is answered at the end in the last scene, however you just want to know more! This is one Funny movie and no matter how many times I watch this film, I always seem to crack up. Dana Delany, Kim Cattrall, Cyinthia Stevenson, Laila Robins, Lora Zane and Olivia D'Abo were great in this film. Personally I think there should be a second part to the film because you want to know what eventually happens to the characters. But then again thats just my point of view. One thing I'm looking for is the SOUNDTRACK to this film. The songs are just unbelievable and perfect for this film. EXCELLENT CHOICE of Music, I just can't seem to find the soundtrack anywhere.

In this movie a group of women who are longtime friends get together for a "girls' night in". They end up talking about various of their sexual experiences in real life and fantasy. The fantasies seem like ones women really have and the experiences are like ones some women have and others could at least relate to. There was a great deal of humor, but also real feeling. In the process of sharing all this, the women gain a closer bond with each other and with other women in general.

A decent movie, though it fails to keep your attention fully throughout the whole show.

But if you want to see a movie covering mostly a slumber party full of beautiful women talking about sex (plus a little nudity), this might be it. (The title is not to be taken literally, of course.)

By the way, the song that's playing during the fantasy scene with Olivia d'Abo and Lora Zane at around 45 minutes is "Picture Of An Angel", by Candy Says. More info here: [...]

I had the honor of meeting Live Nude Girls' director, Julianna Lavin, in early 1997 and enjoyed what she had to say about the film biz and this excellent film, full of off-the-cuff revisions, improv, as well as precisely scripted detail (such as the sound of the dump-truck dubbed in during the delivery-boy sex scene). This film is noteworthy for its unselfconscious exacting realism, incisive humor, and insightful dialog. My only question to the amazon community is this-- during the final credits, a very nice folk song plays... what is it? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-- buy this today!
