Featured reviews
Southern belle April Delonpre (Sherilyn Fenn) is out of school and all set for a prearranged marriage with Chad (Martin Hewitt). However she meets Perry (Richard Tyson) who is low class and works with a carnival. They start having sex and falling in love and April's family is horrified...
Basically an R rated porno film for guys--there's plenty of nude shots of Fenn but very few of Tyson. I hated the film but I actually thought this was going to be serious. Obviously it's not. While the sex scenes are pretty hot and Fenn and Tyson have great bodies, the dialogue is pretty lame and the story has been done many times before. The acting is OK and Kristy McNichol throws in an amusing little performance (and goes topless too).
So as a silly little sex film for guys it works. It's gets a 6 for the attractive leads, some nice cinematography and the sex. Just don't take it seriously.

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!

4 Stars is too low for this surprisingly strong film. Yes, it's a Zalman King movie, but it was among his first and unlike probably everything else he did since, was a very good movie. It has a good, tight story and some very strong performances from its leads, especially Richard Tyson (who really should have become a big star but just never quite did for some reason).
I still believe that it is among the sexiest movies ever made, and that is not possible if you do not care about the characters or are drawn into their passion. Most movies of this type fail to engage the viewer in the story and so the passion and sexuality suffer, but that is not the case here. One doesn't need to watch this movie as an excuse for some cheap titillation, it also delivers as an enjoyable film as well.

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!

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.
