Sex Appeal

It's one thing to start watching a movie and think "hey, I've seen this before...this is so familiar" and then to look up the people behind the film and look at their body of work and realize it's not just a remake, it's a remake by the same people. Chuck Vincent rehashes a film from the hard side of the industry that he made back in 1980 and simply takes the hard core aspects out with newer and even less capable actors in the main roles. Ron Jeremy played the main character in FASCINATION from 1980 and the overbearing mom was there, the philandering father, the obnoxious sis, all of it. The same supporting characters are there too...some of them reprising their roles from the FIRST!

This is not worth the views people. The acting is totally uninspired, the film making skills are totally void and the fact that CV remade it and did it WORSE is rather criminal. AVOID. I would demand my money back if there were money involved.

I love old comedy's like this. I wasn't around when this came ou of course but I always have found older movies to be good. If you like rom coms or sex comedy's then this is definitely for you. I could do without the mother being so attached to him. My mom and me were pretty close before she passed in 2020 but the mom in this movie is ridiculous. Plus, there is nothing wrong with having sex with people so anyone who thinks this movie is bad for that has no idea what they are talking about. I guess what I'm saying is if you don't like talking about sex or seeing sex in a movie then don't watch this movie and keep your comments to yourself cause I like this movie and I don't appreciate bad comments about a good movie. After all, movies are magic and that magic is eternal l.

I recently watched Sex Appeal (1986) on Tubi. The storyline follows a young man who decides it's time to take charge of his sex life. His first step is buying a book to become a 'sex expert,' and the second is getting an apartment to escape his parents. However, as he moves into his new place, he finds it difficult to stop his mother from ruining his romantic pursuits. Of course, he also does a good job of sabotaging himself.

Directed by Chuck Vincent (Bad Blood), the film stars Louie Bonanno (Cool as Ice), Veronica Hart (Boogie Nights), Candida Royalle (Urban Heat), Tally Chanel (Alien Warriors), and Samantha Fox (Jack + Jill).

This is one of those corny, over-the-top sex comedies that tries too hard but is still fun to watch. As expected, the acting isn't remarkable, and the plot is flimsy, but there's some fun narration, attractive cast members, and plenty of topless scenes. The 'New Jersey Casanova' concept was hilarious, making for a crazy title. Despite its cheesiness, it's entertaining enough.

In conclusion, Sex Appeal offers little plot, a few laughs, and enough risqué moments to be mildly enjoyable. I'd give it a 4/10 and only recommend it with the right expectations.

Imagine if someone tried to film a sex comedy version of The Apartment but forgot to include: plot, laughs, likeable characters, ANYTHING resembling a joke. BUT they did manage to include heavy New YAWK accents, boobs of all shapes and sizes, and a short run time. Normally, boobs would be worth at least two stars, but this was so unfunny that it was nearly unwatchable.

I couldn't stop laughing throughout this whole movie.
