Testing the Limits (1998)

That was an excellent one.

So much average

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It is a pity that director Brigitte Berman has made few films of this type because she could certainly give the more established directors a run for their money. There is little plot - a couple on a trip to the country take shelter in a lone ranch house which just happens to be the location for a glamour photo shoot. Then a jealous boyfriend arrives to throw a spanner in the works. The film though, is all about the sex and nudity and the film does not disappoint.The film starts off with an energetic sex scene with Brandy Davis and Scott Carson. Then we get another sex scene with Lorissa McComas and Karl Preston. Once the location switches to the ranch house then it is a case of mix and match along with Gaelle Comparat as the photographer. No film of this type is complete without the girl/girl scene and we get two, with the second becoming a girl/girl/boy threesome in a hot tub. The three female stars of this film are absolutely stunning although Gaelle Comparat has few screen credits to her name - a pity because she is well worth a look or several. This film should rate highly with enthusiasts of the genre.

The plot is basic fashion nude modeling shoot with the photographer and editor welcoming couple whose car breaks down, while involved in a pictorial with upcoming model. Oh, by the way, the photographed model has a boyfriend who is a tad bit unstable and on his way to the farmhouse! This is about sex and gorgeous naked bodies. The late Lorissa McCombs was in her prime, Brandy Davis just radiates as the blond beauty going through experimental sexual awakening, and bi photographer Gaelle Comparat is open to any sexual possibilities. Davis' hubby, played by Scott Carson, is a bit uncomfortable with her budding interest in sexual exploration while eventually letting go a bit when she and McCombs want to participate in a threesome. Karl Preston is McCombs' possessive beau, soon cast aside in favor of Comparat's stud, Marc Robinson. There's the usual various couplings embracing plentiful pleasure, like Davis with both women (her shower with Comparat just arouses because of how it spurns out of curiosity and embracing the interest that arises), Robinson with two of the women (especially in the tepee with McCombs), and McCombs with four (her receiving cunnilingus from Preston at the beginning after he compliments her body gives us a full appreciation of her impressive figure, like when she sits on his face). While a bit too soft and edited/lengthed for two minute scenes so there are a multitude of them (sometimes quality is indeed better than quantity), the women make up for it. Davis was blessed with this sex kitten body and girl next door look, McCombs with her gentle face and seductress form that devours the libido, and Comparat with her Parisian accent and appetite for spirited lovemaking; the film has an eyeful of titillation. Not the best of its type, but Testing the Limits boasts a bevy of beauties from the era of the late 90s/early 2000s which offered plenty of them. Davis and McCombs getting into an embrace while posing for Carson, soon engaging in kissy-kissy, is a highlight.

This is one of the weakest soft porn film around. I can't believe somebody wrote this stupid story before making some changes. The guy Mike is a major wimp and moron I can't believe he didn't want to take a shower with his bride-to-be Toni and be in a threesome with the french photographer Jan. He does do a threesome with Toni and Kristi but that was short I hate that every time in Soft Core Porn Films threesomes between a woman, a man, and a woman is short but a girl-girl thing is about an hour. To the makers of these films have the threesomes alot longer this film should've have two threesome scenes not one but two.

A quite classy soft core porn flic. Where do they get suchbeautiful people for films such as this? Is there a specialdivision in acting school which teaches these people how tosimulate sexual activity so enthusiastically?I don't think I've seen any actors in flics such as this in hardcore porn, so soft core must be a specialty in itself.I caught the film on late night Cinemax, the haven for thisclass of pictures. They rarely can be found on VHS even thoughthe production values can be fairly high and the acting ispretty good and profes
