Glut der Begierde

When I first saw this movie a couple of years ago, I thought it was going to be more of Elke dishing out a slice of common sense while screwing an innocent family's brains out. But this movie is totally different. I've seen it advertised here as "Friend of the Family II" but it usually goes under the name "Innocence Betrayed".

Shauna O'Brien plays Linda, the main character of the movie. She just broke up with her boyfriend and is on the rebound. Paul Michael Robinson plays Alex, a married businessman who seems to be away from home a lot. He's in New Orleans on business when he meets Linda and they have a torrid affair. For the next couple of days, they spend most of their time in bed. He takes off and heads home the next morning, leaving Linda a note. In short, it says, "Thanks for the memories." She's crying now, because she thought she really loved this guy. Unfortunately, Alex leaves something behind that would soon lead Linda to come find him.

Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, Alex is at home with his wife Maddy and their young son, and everything is going along fine. Oops, Maddy feels like going back to work again. Now, Maddy needs to hire a babysitter. After several applicants, guess who shows up and gets the job?

You guessed it. Linda.

Of course, Alex doesn't know this....yet. But once he finds out, Linda threatens to tell his wife and......oh boy! The sparks fly after that.

This movie had more in common with "Scorned" than the first "Friend of the Family". After comparing Shauna's "Linda" to Shannon Tweed's "Amanda" the stories are similar: Both got screwed by a man and now getting their sweet revenge by sleeping with either him or members of his family. The only twist is in this movie, Linda is using blackmail.

Once again, this movie is written in a way if you took out some of the sex scenes and put A-list talent in the roles, it could do well as a major motion picture.

I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end, although the ending left a lot to be desired.

Story: A Sex: A- Women: B+ Overall: A-

(Called "Passionate Revenge" on Tubi. And I'm assuming it's the rated-R version because no one "bares it all" as someone claimed.)

So, a woman who suspects her fiancee of cheating decides to help a married man cheat? Kind of makes you not care about her own problems. Definitely doesn't. She's the type of antagonist that reminds you of think of when women say "I don't owe his wife/girlfriend anything" and "He's the one in a relationship" when they want to justify engaging in cheating with a man who already has a partner. Very selfish, especially given that they want people to care when their own heart is broken.

This film is poorly acted and edited. I guess a compliment I can give them is that the cheating husband and the selfish woman he cheats with both have nice bodies. It's amusing in a trashy sort of why. It did have me talking at the TV a time or two. It'd be fun to watch with a group so we can laugh at the nonsense and critique the fashion.

It's good if you like soft-core erotica and looking for a good laugh. The best is at the end; you'll love Shauna O'Brien's acting. When I saw that end scene with the cops, I couldn't stop laughing.

As for sex, there is enough of it. I think more nude shots of Shauna would have been nicer, though. And more girls than just Shauna and the wife would have been nice. In these movies, one expects a good orgy!

Need I say more. When I saw this movie it was titled "Innocence Betrayed" (it had more nudity than the rated version of "Friend Of The Family II"). Shauna O'Brien has great positions, Paul Michael Robinson has all the right moves. It starts off in a diner where Paul Michael Robinson (a married man) is entertaining a client. Shauna has a fight with her (disgusting [w.o being harsh]) boyfriend. Anyway the boyfriend leaves her with the bill and Robinson says that he'll bring her home and cover the bill. He brings her home...he is about to leave...but she says "would u like coffee?"...well he stays so they have wild jungle sex...the scene is so long and they are so kinky. His manly noises, her flexibility. Anyway...he then has sex a second time the next night where he realizes he's wrong and must return 2 his wife. He goes back to his wife where she gives it 2 him good...she had a better body. Anyway...Robinson's wife's brother (Sid Farley) comes to stay for the summer. Then...Robinson must go back on another business trip. He leaves his wife alone to interview nanny's and guess who she hires??? : Miss Shauna O'Brien. He get's back and is so suprised...He keeps it a secret and one night he sneaks down 2 her room and tells her to get out...but she'll tell his wife, Maddy of his infidelity. Uh-oh...He has to make love to her. Well...Byron (Robinson's brother-in-law) catches Robinson screwing O'Brien and confronts O'Brien about it. She tells Byron how Robinson raped her and forced her to have sex with him. She seduces Byron and those 2 have the best sex I've ever seen in a movie like this. After they have had sex...O'Brien starts to try to kill Maddy and Robinson...she has completely brainwashed Byron so that she is in total control...she seduces Robinson's friend (Jeff Rector)and then won't leave Robinson alone...finally Alex has put up with enough, confesses to Maddy about O'Brien but Byron steps in and says how he raped her...The conclusion is awesome. If you want a good sex movie that is also a good suspense movie then rent this...be sure to get the Unrated version or see it off of HBO or TMC...but Paul Michael Robinson has the best body I have ever seen and also is a great actor...Shauna O'Brien is beautiful but could use a few acting lessons...Jeff Rector is a great lay to O'Brien...and Jenna Bodner (Maddy) has a beautiful body and can act. But the best part of this movie (even though Paul Michael Robinson did have an awesome beefcookie body) was Sid Farley...he has all the right moves in the scene between him and O'Brien and gives it to her so good I'm surprised she didn't leave Robinson alone and find her next obsession with his brother-in-law Byron

So I watched this before the first Friend of the Family movie. No connection other than Shauna - and she plays a different character here alltogether too. So it doesn't matter in what order you watch the movies - if you are even interested.

Interested being the key word - especially when it comes to Shauna. I reckon if you are a fan, you may add at least a point to my score. She bares it all (no pun intended and literally). It is not like you will be watcthing this movie for the acting or the story. Which I find to be weaker than the first movies story - but that is me.

A lot of mayhem unfolds here and there are scenes of violence included that are cringe worthy at best. But again, you are not watching for that. Or rather you shouldn't be watching for that.

And then it all ends ... well I would call the ending "bonkers" ... or really out there. I guess you could call it ... I don't even know what you would call it. I thought for a second to rewind to see if I missed something ... but I didn't care enough to do that - especially because I think that question remains unanswered ... it is a movie and I really could not care less about the big upset this tries to leave you behind ... doesn't fit with the rest either ... anyway, try to blend that out if you can.
