Full Body Massage

I can't really remember much of what this film was supposed to be about, some sort of philosophical ramblings delivered whilst a bloke massages a woman. Who cares? The fact is, you get to see a lot of the glorious Mimi Rogers and her awesome breasts and magnificent buttocks. If that makes me sound like a sad pervert, so be it. To be honest the rest of the film sent me to sleep. How is it that I have to drag myself to work very day and Bryan Brown gets to oil Mimi Rogers up for a living? Okay, so he has some acting talent - not a lot mind you - and I have none, but it's still not fair. In my opinion his finest hour was not his version of Hamlet at the Old Vic but keeping his pants under control during this shoot.... I certainly take my hat off to him for that.

In this movie, Mimi Rogers is naked!

Mimi Rogers plays a successful art gallery owner who gets weekly full body massages to relieve her 'tensions' (pun definitely intended). Her usual masseuse skips out and sends in this other guy who talks and talks and talks while, wait for it, massaging Mimi's body.

This is as deep as the plot gets. But, if one is watching this movie, that is not the least of their concern. Because, in this movie, Mimi Rogers is naked!!

She, a voluptuous woman (38D-26-36!!!!), gets all oiled up, and you can fully see her buttocks and breasts, which get massaged for a long time, and guess what? They are real! Now, some of you might be wondering why I keep talking about Mimi Rogers's body - which is naked in this movie, by the way. That's because this is an erotic movie, and that's all there is to it.

There has not been an erotic movie with a plot of reasonable depth other than 'Kama Sutra,'and 'Full Body Massage' proves this point.

My review of this movie would have been 2/10, but thanks to Mimi Rogers, who is naked in this movie, it gets an 8/10. Keep in mind that just 3 years after this movie, Mimi Rogers wears a body-hugging spacesuit in 'Lost in Space,' which is a family movie... (awkward)

Full Body Massage is an erotic movie with Mimi Rogers, who shows that perfection can be achieved without plastic surgery, and it's a must see for all fans (erotic movie fans and Mimi Rogers fans).

What thoughts would go through two strangers minds after initially bypassing the social preliminaries and going to intimate contact and then getting to know each other better? The intimation is that maybe they would like to take the relation further, but professional ethics require them to escape to the past, so as to almost avoid the present. The sexual tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Roeg does his usually excellent job of mixing the erotic with the everyday and making it seem completely natural.

The title "Full Body Massage" hints that this is a pornographic film, but it isn't. Erotic, yes, but not pornographic. The title refers not only to a full body massage, but to what is really a "full mind massage". I only wish my massuse had the skill and equipment the masseur had in this film!!

Contrary to most of the other lay reviewers, I am a serious student of holistic health practices, esp. eastern traditions- and I was not looking for much gratuitious sex...although the nudity was o.k. I thought Brian Brown did a good job (and apparently he has had some training in massage) -I thought the acting was good, and I liked the way that the "dilemma" of sexuality vs. health treatment was handled.

Mimi Rogers, always a treat for the eyes, was believable as a conflic- ted yuppie with good taste, inquiring mind, and hungry libido. I have recommended this film to others who are massage/holistic health buffs. It would not appeal to many people who are just looking for spicy sex, however.
