    Film offers up a king size amount of sex.

    A friend of the family named Elkie moves in to a family's house, to help them sort their troubles. And what help she provides. She seduces mom, dad, daughter, even son. Film has only two good things to offer: plenty of sex and plenty of nudity. But hey, that isn't so bad. Worth watching for the scenery, not the dialogue ( except some moaning sounds ). 5 out of 10.

    Better than most modern soft-core.

    One of the better examples of soft-core in the 90's. Yes the acting wasn't the greatest, but the plot was at least decent. The nude/sex scenes were good, particularly the bathtub scene. But there was some exhibition of my pet peeve. Congratulations to Shauna O'Brien and Raelyn Saalman for forgoing, and shame on Griffin Drew and Lisa Boyle/Cassandra Leigh for indulging in mass quantities of silicone. Why does anyone think that huge mounds of gel are more attractive than a woman's natural breasts? Gals, ... They're not! This is why 70's soft-core films are usually so much better than modern ones. The silicone show is distracting and ugly. As for FOTF, It's worth a look. Grade: B-

    She sure is Friendly

    This is one of my favorite films. This one has Griffin Drew, Lisa Boyle, and Cassandra Leigh. Leigh comes to town and starts seducing every single family member. My Favorite scene is the one with Griffin Drew and Cassandra Leigh. This is true erotique.

    Good quality and quantity amount of sex

    A Friend of the Family has amazingly quite a bit to offer for a b-movie. The important being sex and nudity. But hey, the acting is actually very tolerable. The ladies (Lisa Boyle, Shauna O'brien and Griffen Drew) are amazing to look at with better than average sex and nudity scenes. The dialogue could be better, but then quality dialogue was not high on my reasons for renting this movie. This is a very worthwhile rental.

    Not bad for softcore

    Let's be honest, one does not watch a movie such as this for the intellectual kind of stimulation. It is softcore porn, and is closer to that genre than film. As such, the acting is near always amateurish and unrealistic; story line ridiculous if even existent; and most importantly, its structure is segregated into sex scenes with filler space between them to fake a movie format. A good softcore movie has many great sex scenes, and somewhat entertaining if imbecile filler space. "Friend of the Family" has many good sex scenes, and filler space that is as kind hearted as it is hilariously absurd. This adds up well, recommended! (do make sure to get the unrated version, even god knows that softcores have multiple edits.)

      During the sex scene in the open-topped car, the boom is visible at 35:13 and stays in shot for two seconds. Throughout the entire scene, its shadow can be clearly seen on the background.
