    Marriage and other disasters

    What to expect from an 80s movie? Especially one that starts off quite on the sexy side of things. With a wet dream that might give off the wrong impression. Or give you false hope or expectations where the movie is heading. Because while it does have nudity right off the bat, this is not a sex comedy - well not the kind that is going all out, no pun intended.

    There is some nudity later on and the movie plays off the sexuality of our main actress in more than one occasion (quite a few times in way too creepy fashion - as in has not aged particularly well). But if you are able to suspend your disbelief, you may be able to somewhat enjoy the charismatic female lead, who is being treated quite badly all around. There are cliches (a lot of them), most do work in favor of the movie.

    The movie does not seem to have a direction and also seems to do things that do not make sense (most of them involve either sexuality or money ... which have a lot to do with marriage ... one may wonder what is wrong with the husband ... well there is an answer to that later on ... almost nonchalant thrown in for good measure) ...
