Summary: Champagne and Sweets for Two
Review: Director Candida Royalle has pioneered the genre of romantic erotica that can be enjoyed by couples. The actors are not the typical surgically enhanced twenty-something sexual automatons that grind their way through mainstream pornography. They look and act more like "real" people of different ages (even some with imperfect bodies)in real romantic situations. Look for character development, dreamy settings, and even a modicum of plot. Christine is an attractive, thirty-something single woman who visits the lush Love Inn each year. In a bow to Lady Chatterly, it becomes apparent that she yearns for a forbidden rendezvous with the handsome young groundskeeper. Her sensual, soft-focus, longing, dream sequences are mingled with vignettes of other couples at the inn joyfully and playfully celebrating their couplehood, love and sexuality. Perhaps there is a message that the hottest of these scenes is reserved for the fiftyish inkeeper (with average looks and slightly sagging figure) and her long-time lover. The ending, of course, is completely predictable as the frustrated matron and the lonely groundskeeper throw caution and decorum to the wind in a firestorm of pent up longing so hot that it threatens to ignite the hayloft. Romantic, sensual, sometimes funny. Explicit but not offensive. I liked it. My partner liked it. Her comment, "It's not cheesy like other erotic movies."

Summary: 80's
Review: Was probably really good in the 80's...should probably stay there. This wasn't a total loss though; it treats the women like queens and doesn't require the surgical enhancement of its actors. While there is better out there, there is definitely worse. I give it 3 stars
