Couldn't take this seriously. Terrible acting and cheap and tacky everything else.

Ctitize all you want about 50 Shades of Gray/Grey; However; films of the same genre are deciphered by the professionalism of the players and even morso by the director! This film is very solid and a topless Marissa Carpenter doesn't hurt! Very worthy of w as tching!

There are two reasons people might see this film.

1.They are longtime fans of Charisma Carpenter. 2.They want some softcore porn.

Chances are a lot of them are looking for both.

This is nothing more than a cheaply made direct to video rip off of "50 Shades of Grey", what is known as a "Mockbuster" where producers rip off the plot and characters from a successful film and create a cheap fast version to profit from.

Besides being terribly written, directed and acted, it's a sad fact that age 45 (at the time of filming) Ms. Carpenter's sexual wiles are not exactly holding up.

The result is a middle aged woman trying to play the young sexpot, and it's somewhat uncomfortable to watch.

I'm not sure what kind of age they were attempting to make her character, but since Daniel Baldwin plays her father and is only 10 years older than her in real life, that added an additional pathetic element to the whole debacle.

If you want to see Charisma Carpenter topless, do a google image search and save yourself from enduring this dreck.

Nothing wrong jumping on the Fifty Shades bdsm train / genre. This tried to put a different slant on it with role reversal but didn't work: bad story, cliched script, actors going through the motions (not the sex part as there aren't enough to satisfy anyone). Sadly not a career high for Buffy's Cordelia. If you want a well made alternative try The Ages of Lulu.

I hate Charisma Carpenter, and I certainly wasn't looking for softcore porn. I watch this movie simply to see if I would find it good; because you can't know if a movie is good until you watch it, genius.
