The Girl Who Shagged Me

Right, well the 2005 movie "The Girl Who Shagged Me" was listed as a comedy, so that is what I assumed when I sat down to watch it. Little did I know that it was actually a full-blown softcore pornographic movie. And yeah, this is not a comedy, so don't sit down to watch it on false premises as I did.

I managed to endure a staggering 16 minutes of the ordeal that is "The Girl Who Shagged Me", from writer Andy Sawyer and director Thomas J. Moose, and then I just couldn't take any more of the dumpster fire that was this 2005 movie. Every three minute or so there was a new lewd scene, and I have to say believing that I was in for a comedy, I was quite appalled by this rubbish.

I would skip ahead three minutes, then watch a bit of the non-explicit stuff, hoping for some comedy. But no such luck. There was no contents to the stuff that writer Andy Sawyer had managed to churn out for "The Girl Who Shagged Me".

And not even the acting performances in "The Girl Who Shagged Me" would do much to make it watchable, because the performances were sluggish, amateurish, wooden and downright devoid of soul.

This movie came and went without leaving a lasting dent. And it is by no means a movie that I will ever return to attempt watching again, because the 16 minutes of torment I suffered through was sufficient to last a lifetime.

My rating of "The Girl Who Shagged Me" lands on a one out of ten stars, which goes without saying.

The three main female cast members of "The Girl Who Shagged Me" are top-of-the-line for this genre; Anoushka, in particular, is one of the sexiest women I have ever seen. So why do they get LESS screen time than their male co-stars? Do we really want to see a) the mad scientists, the assorted weirdos, the inept cops, the horny Yetis....or do we want to see b) the beautiful women owning the screen and making out with each other? If you answered "a", this is your movie. If you answered "b", you will be disappointed. The erotic scenes are VERY mild, and even the climactic scene between Misty Mundae and Anoushka is over far too quickly. The film spends most of its time trying to be a comedy, but its extremely juvenile sense of humor is VERY hit-and-miss. Could have been so much better. *1/2 out of 4.

The title suggests this is a spoof mainly concerning the second Austin Powers movie, "The Spy Who Shagged Me", but actually it's nothing to do with it except for the British location. The story goes something like this: On an expedition through Scotland, Professor Lavish (Frank Bowdler) discovers a frozen cave woman from the Stone Age (Anoushka), while his assistant meets a gay yeti and decides to go to San Francisco with him. A very mad scientist (Mark Standley, pulling faces like a Batman villain) steals the cave woman, though special agent Johnson (Misty Mundae) tries to sort out the mess. Obviously shot on a shoestring budget, this has many hilarious moments (I loved the sound effects straight from the classic slapstick flicks), monumental silliness, fake beards, topless women... and a sheik on a camel! I think "The Girl Who Shagged Me" is a stunning achievement in bad, bad movie making, so if you watched several art movies before and need an antidote... go for it.

For the budget that this movie was made on, the quality of production is astonishingly good! The actors all appear to be having fun making the movie and the crew also have high spirits (as can be seen in the behind the scenes feature); this contributes to a movie that can kick back and have fun. Sure, the story isn't of Memento caliber but it also isn't so tedious that it's unwatchable. Special props go to the Foley team who's sound effects are top notch! From the very first *BOING* I knew this would be an entertaining and lighthearted movie and I wasn't disappointed! If you're looking for a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and you don't mind looking at a few (very nice) topless ladies, and you're in the mood to laugh out loud, you could do worse than watching "The Girl Who Shagged Me".

I've been a fan of Seduction Cinema movies for years now, and can't get my head around comments from Misty fans who dislike this movie.

As for one Misty fan who reviewed it here and dramatically announced they would never watch a Misty flick again, if they think this is a bad movie, then jeez, they clearly haven't seen some of Miss Mundae's earlier work...

Sure, Misty isn't in it as much as some of the other Seduction flicks, but in Girl Who Shagged Me she's clearly having fun and delivers a light and comic enough performance to raise a chuckle or two.

She also looks great in the sequence with Anoushka where they both get it on in a warehouse amongst floating drapes.

As for the movie itself, it may not a challenging piece of drama, but c'mon guys! it is funny, way funnier than most sex 'comedies' on sale, and everyone in the movie gives a spirited performance.

I really enjoyed this cheap little movie, it has a totally different feel than some other Seduction movies, probably due to it's British influence. The comedy works well and the sex is hot... what more do you want?
