Naked Wishes

This is a thoroughly entertaining sex comedy that is worth watching particularly for the performance of Jeff Kueppers. Kueppers proves himself to have deft comic timing in the lead role, and his work elevates this above standard straight-to-video fare. He's completely offbeat and original, and it's clear that he has the chops to be a comic lead in mainstream movies if given the chance. Mike Sedan's script is clever and funny, and the movie offers plenty of female nudity from the attractive women in the cast. So many movies of this type don't even try, but NAKED WISHES actually has an unpredictable story, a terrific lead actor, and some genuine laughs and truly sexy scenes. Definitely recommended.

Taj (Jeff Kueppers) is a young psychiatrist and is engaged to be married. Unfortunately has been plagued by nightmares all his life: he dreams that he was a servant in a sort of Arabian Nights story and was caught by his lover's fiancé, Ahmed (Lance Moseley), in flagrante delicto. What is worse, both his lover, Samithia (Chanda Marie) and her fiancé are genies. When he is caught, Taj is made a eunuch and Samithia is condemned to spend one thousand years in a bottle.

When Taj opens a chest he inherited, and rubs some dust off an old bottle, who should pop out but Samithia? Naturally a variety of misunderstandings follow.

To borrow a page from Joe Bob Briggs's book, this flick features plenty of aardvarking and a high breast count. It is not ‘Citizen Kane' but is blessed by better writing and acting than several recent big budget Hollywood movies I could name. For those of you that like this sort of thing (and I am one who does) this is just the sort of thing you'll like.
