Glori-Anne Gilbert plays twin sisters in this predictable and formulaic softie from producer/director Jim Wynorski and Seduction Cinema. Nothing new to see here, just another unimaginative plot about illicit affairs, a murder, and unlikely sex scenes strung together to keep you watching—even though you already know who the killer is if you took two seconds to read the back of the DVD.

Frank Harper plays Rick, a philandering doctor who cheats on his wife (Gilbert) with every girl he can get his hands on. And despite the fact that the doc is a tad “soft” and hovering near middle-age, he’s got a lot of bank, so it’s understandable why the women come running. I think Frank enjoyed making this movie as every scene calls for him to get naked with one of the several female cast members.

Scene after scene features the doc hooking up via the internet with yet another sexy co-star, and several of the romps could have been much hotter if they would just can the annoying music. Sure, many of the women look good, and the scenes aren’t too bad overall, but the repetitive theme (Frank and Glori-Anne, Frank and Julie, Frank and Monique, Frank and Chasey, etc), the lacklustre story, and the failure to generate any real heat leaves this one a bit short.

Glori-Anne has a great body, with large breasts and an enthusiasm for her scenes. From the hot-tub to the sofa she provides enough steam to propel this otherwise straggling flick along. Other highlights include a fit and toned Jodie Moore, showing us how she really keeps that smokin’ body in shape; and the appearances of b-movie veterans (indeed, legends) Julie K. Smith and Monique Parent. While I found Monique’s scene to be a bit mild and subdued compared to previous fare, she always lends a touch of class to whatever she is in.

Retired hardcore starlet Chasey Lain also makes an appearance and while the troubles of recent years have taken a bit of the edge off her once hypnotic beauty, it is good to see her back in healthy, working condition. But I think the best scene has to be the upstairs frenzy with Avy Scott, who devours Frank in a torrid tryst while wife Glori-Anne sits downstairs, obliviously reading her magazine.

So while the cast is great and there is a fair amount of sexual energy in the scenes, this one still fails to register high on the heat scale. With an almost mind-numbing soundtrack of repetitive and extremely annoying dance mix tunes and an overall lack of originality or imagination, there is little other than the bountiful naked flesh on display to justify watching this one.
