Play Time (1995)

Let's be realistic.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This might very well be the best softie film of the 90's and on par with the fabulous Emmanuelle. The movie involves two young women who are probably part of a DINK couple (Double Income, No Kids). One of them indulges the other in her sexual fantasies, and slowly but surely, everyone else in their inner circle gets involved, meaning fun for the viewer is in the offing.Jennifer Burton and Monique Parent steam the screen with raw sensuality, whether the "philosophical discussion" is man/woman, woman/woman, or threesome and more. These two natural beauties deliver knockout performances without talking (both of them are good actors, sadly, I saw the film dubbed in French but I have to get the DVD). While Parent is one hell of a looker, she can't compare with Burton, who looked like she was at her best throughout the filming. She blew me away throughout the whole film with her stunning beauty, passion and aura. I can't recall how many scenes where she portrayed the ultimate in what a woman should look like. Oh, if all women could look like her...All I can say is that this movie is a must-see and that during the filming of Play Time, the most beautiful woman in the world at that time was Jennifer Leigh Burton. Check it out!

Since for the most part this film features different examples of people pleasuring themselves whilst watching others it will clearly appeal to the solo viewer. It certainly appealed to me. The ladies are a little flat chested and, naturally, the scenes aren't hard enough, but it's not bad. Join in the fun, they really want you to you know!

In the spirit of Dadaism, director Trevillion has created a surrealistic fantasy. The absurdity of a happy marriage is brought forth by having the wives realize they are not the Mistresses of their Domain. Anarchy reigns as our two heroines, whether flying solo or in tandem, journey south of the border and start messing with the danger zone. Old relationships are torn down, new ones built, and old ones restored until they all come together at the climax. Our two plucky leading ladies are played by Eye Candy Hall of Fame inductees Jennifer Burton and All-Century Second team member Monique Parent. Their performances are a stroke of genius from beginning until the end of the film. Excellent cameos by Ashlie Rhey, Julie Strain, and Tammy Parks help flesh out this classic.

Not a masterpiece, this movie is quite entertaining and funny with acceptable performances from the actors and actresses. But, as is usual with movies of this genere, with a script that is nothing more than an excuse for the quite good sex scenes. Low production values (It's a low budget direct to video release afterall). Nice tempo and photography. And of course beautiful women. If you're looking for some entertaining non hardcore erotic movie I certainly recommend this one.
