    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.

    Lisa, Shauna, and Griffin. What else can you ask for?

    This cult steamy soft core flick has aired for many times on Skinemax and many Latin American cable channels. I had the chance to first watch it on cable years ago and to this day, it's one of the best erotic thrillers I've watched. It has everything: a sexy and interesting plot, hot women, hot sex scenes, and likable characters.

    You can't go wrong if Lisa Boyle, Shauna O'Brien, and Griffin Drew are in the same movie.

    I'm a huge fan of Shauna O'Brien but I must admit that Lisa Boyle OWNED this movie. The woman is fantastic. She's hot, extremely beautiful, and is a delight to watch her sex scenes. She's wild!

    This movie is famous (or infamous?) for it's lesbian sex scenes and for Lisa Boyle's sex scene in the car. Check out Shauna's sex scenes; she's the best. No one like her could do lesbian soft core porn like Mrs. O'Brien. Also, her sex scene with the father is memorable. I expected more sex from Shauna but well she delivers expectations on the sex factor. She goes to bed with the step-mom and father, and tongue kisses the daughter and the song. She's a naughty friend! I enjoyed her scenes because if she didn't have sex, she would wear the sexiest outfits (spectacular mini dresses, tight jeans, etc.).

    Watch this movie if you appreciate soft core flicks. This is for sure, one of the best of all time. Buy this one on DVD. But be sure that it's the unrated version. Enjoy!

    Plenty of sex for all tastes!

    Why can't we be friends?

    The director Holzman reveals he is a child of the 60's where "Make love not war" was a catchphrase. The overall theme of this film is that tensions between warring parties can be solved by getting some action. With this in mind and an impressive cast, this film caught our attention at the Eye Candy Hall of Fame. First of all it stars Griffin Drew (2nd team All-Century). Other actors of interest are Shauna O'Brien (as Elke--the friend) and Lisa Boyle. As a public service announcement, Ms. Boyle's scenes are quite tame and there are better films out there to display her true abilities. We don't know if this was intentional or not because she plays a teenage girl and the producers may have feared it would be bordering on kiddie porn. All we can say is that no girls at our high schools came close to being as mature as Ms. Boyle's stature. The good part is that Ms. Drew and Ms. O'Brien make up for this omission and beyond (the hot tub scene).

    Great Eye Candy

    Griffin Drew & Lisa Boyle - post silicone. Raelyn Saalman and Shauna O'Brien pre-silicone.

    Griffin and Shauna look fabulous and they share a tender scene together in the bathtub that looks so real. The lighting, the pace, and everything is just perfect. Griffin has a few early scenes including a fantasy scene and one with her husband. But she leaves part way thru the movie and Shauna takes over, shagging anything that moves - including the husband. The only one she doesn't seduce is Lisa Boyle's character. Instead they play dress-up. Lisa's scenes usually involve shady boyfriends and don't seem as hot as the other scenes.

    Shauna is amazingly hot in this movie and it's too bad she's since ruined her look with balloon implants. Oh well, at least we can remember her natural beauty with this movie.

    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.
