Okay, so certain aspects of Two Moon are predictable, maybe even hokey. Who cares? Sherilyn Fenn and Richard Tyson are phenomenal (both in looks and acting), sets are great, and the cinematography is even better. Music is killer and classic. The supporting cast, including Louis Fletcher (Nurse Rachet!) and Burl Ives, does an outstanding job!
I've been watching this film since if first came out, and I still watch it every time I get the chance. Can't wait to get a DVD player so I can see the widescreen version. This movie definitely ranks in my top ten favourites. Make sure you rent/buy this movie - it's well worth it. Unless you're staking your professional reputation on it, this movie is a definite two thumbs up!

Though no one won any awards for their acting in this movie, it is worth a look. If you go beyond the overt storyline you can start to see nuances that point to the more complex psychological makeup of the characters and takes this movie to a different level. This is why I like this movie, it isn't just raw sexuality but the complexity of human relationships further complicated by societal standards and expectations and how one choses to integrate them. This film not only features veteran actors such as Burl Ives and Louise Fletcher, but features Richard Tyson whom you may remember from the tv series Hardball, and Sherilyn Fenn. And check out Samantha who is played by Milla (as in Milla Jovovich who played in The Fifth Element).
You would probably like this movie if you liked 9 and a Half Weeks or Wild Orchid.

This film doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. Zalman King's direction is ultra-stylish and Fenn and Tyson make an attractive couple (the film will appeal to both sexes). It still plays like an extended TV commercial with soft-core overtones, but at least it almost constantly keeps its tongue in its cheek, which turns out to be a big plus. Clever ending, too. (**1/2)
Zalman King is expert at producing soft porn rubbish that is about as erotic as ground grit, but Two Moon Junction is the exception, saved almost single handedly by Sherilynn Fenn, who is excellent in the role of little rich girl April, who falls for a hunky carnie on the eve of her wedding.
A great acting performance...not to mention a great body, which she shows off to an appreciative audience (in my house, anyway). two moon junction actually appeals to women as much as men.
If you are forced to watch a Zalman King movie, make it this one.

gets it on with hunky,I mean top choice Richard Tyson. Those scenes burn up the screen...
Check out the scene at the carnival where Fenn sees bare-chested Tyson... George Thorogood and the Destroyers in background.
Great supporting cast of Burl Ives and Louise Fletcher( One Flew Over Cucukoo's Nest/nurse Ratchet fame)
Fenn and Tyson melt the screen. I was surprised when I "stumbled upon this flick" back then after reading a lukewarm review in the NYT. The part the "Times" forgot was the erotic/almost soft porn love scenes. Whew!
