Dangerous Invitation

Years ago I worked with Joe at the American Heart Association in WV. He was cute back then and has only gotten better with age. I clearly remember his desire to be an actor. It would be great to see more of him. I only caught a brief glimpse of one of his movies and have been trying to catch him on reruns of Beverly Hills, 90210 on SoapNet. However, the only episode he was in seems to have been edited and his scene cut out. I haven't had the chance to see him in any of his other appearances. I wish him luck, though. :) I've tried to locate his movies for rental but, to no avail. Netflix and Blockbuster online don't have any for rental.

What's this? A 90's softcore movie starring the delectable Lauren Hays (of, memorably, "Temptations" fame) and featuring an actual plot? Sign me up.

Whilst "Dangerous Invitations" doesn't have the most realistic or original of plots, there is a storyline between the regularly-scheduled sex scenes - some of which are good, and some of which are less exciting, tending to boring at times as well - about two couples who literally get together one night at a beach house, and must deal with the fall-out from that night.

Events take a darker turn halfway through the movie, and although you're not left in any doubt as to how things will turn out, it still ended well.

Plot-wise and acting-wise as well, "Dangerous Invitations" is a cut above the avalanche of these movies.

I've seen this movie many times before, and I always think the same things going into it...."Man, I wish the girls would get together again," or "Why don't they have an orgy?" You'll see in a moment.

A couple has just moved into a new neighborhood. They have friendly...no, wait a sec...REALLY friendly neighbors, and they want to show their new next-door chums a good time. They all head out to the beach, where one thing leads to another and they end up swapping spouses for the night. The new couple soon learns that their little fling left their neighbors wanting more.

The two main women, played by softcore/erotica veterans Kim Yates and Lauren Hays, delighted me every time they were on camera. I mean, these girls look great and Lauren was quite convincing as the psychotic neighbor who just can't keep her hands off other wives' husbands. There's a great scene about halfway through, the morning after the two ladies got busy with each other, where Lauren walks up to Kim and says, "Hey girlfriend," in a more-than-just-friends kind of voice. That scene is worth the price of admission alone!

The movie pretty much sticks to the traditional plot twists and such, right until the end, but it was a decent flick nonetheless. In my opinion, it gets a solid B+.

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

Although Kim Yates is top billed here, the film's focus (for many guys, anyway) will be Lauren Hays. In a complete departure from her earlier, tamer work (The Great Off-Road Bikini Adventure, etc.), Lauren does an unbelievable amount of full-frontal nudity in this pic. Kim Yates does a fair share as well -- but because it is so out of character for Lauren, it is much more notable. In fact, it seems at times that Lauren doesn't go for more than five minutes at a stretch without completely slipping out of her clothes on-camera.

The plot is OK as far as it goes -- nothing you haven't seen before (hot, sexually active couple targets slightly troubled and repressed couple for seduction, stalking, etc.). However, the plot is effectively irrelevant; these films exist as a way to present attractive women in the nude and in sexual situations. And, the film delivers in this department. (The unrated version even features a rather steamy lesbian encounter between the female leads, which is now de rigeur in this genre.) All in all, a solid recommendation for those interested in this type of erotic entertainment.

I have seen this movie 3 times. It runs more than any other of its kind. I wish they would do a sequel to it. I can't get enough of Joe Fedio. Very cute indeed. I saw him on Passions recently, also. Looks like he is moving up the soap ladder. Very sexy guy especially with that new haircut. As for the movie overall, I like it alot and think the entire cast did a good job. LETS SEE MORE!!!!!
