Summary: An erotic story for women
Review: I went to see this film in a movie theater when it was released. A man in the audieance yelled out "What is the point of this?" during the movie. Honey, there is no point. Zalman King's movies typically are geared toward male sexual fantasies, but this film will appeal more to women. Sherilyn Fenn is gorgeous and Richard Tyson will have women drooling. This is what porn should look like, from a woman's point of view. Every woman friend that I know that has seen this has liked it. The plot is questionable, like plots are in a lot of Zalman King's films, but it is erotic and steamy visually. Check out "Red Shoe Diaries" & "Delta of Venus" for more hot and sexually charged visuals.

Summary: WHERE ARE ALL OF THE REVIEWS??!!
Review: I'm truly surprised that mine is the first review for this movie. I don't think this movie did well in the theatres, but so many women I know (we're in our 30's) are big fans of this movie. It's total fantasy, not even necessarily because of the sex, but because of this beautiful dream life that the lead character, the lovely Sherilyn Fenn, is living. Being swept off her feet by the bad boy carnival hunk is exciting, and their dialogue is fun and stimulating. Though Milla Jovovich has a fairly small part as one of the younger sisters, her presence adds to the beauty of this movie. Guys might find it silly, but the women I know love it!

Summary: Zalman King fan
Review: I've watched this movie a thousand times, it's so visually sensual. Most erotica and porn feature beautiful women and butt-ugly men, but Zalman King levels the playing field in this and in all his other movies. Both Richard Tyson and Sherilyn Fenn are dreamy. For more stimulating erotica by King, check out "Wild Orchid 2:Two Shades of Blue" starring Brent Fraser and Nina Seimazko(?), "Delta of Venus" starring Costas Mandylor, and all the "Red Shoe Diaries" episodes.

Summary: A must for Sherilyn Fenn's Fans
Review: If you like the beauty of Sherilyn Fenn, then you should buy this video. I really like it. The story is ok, but I bought this video just to see her naked body. It's really worth for the money that I spent.

Summary: An erotic guilty pleasure!!
Review: My wife was the person who recommended this movie to me, and needless to say I was quite happy with the result. Two Moon Junction is sexy, and satisfying for the both the male, and female viewers. The on screen couple of Tyson, and Fenn have smouldering chemistry, and their love scenes were quite sensual, and filled with heat. Nice cameo by Louise Fletcher who i always love to see in a overpowering and menacing role. No this movie is not rocket science, but it is well worth an evenings entertainment. No one has mentioned the cool ending, and hope that you will give it a watch.

Summary: Chick Flick Indeed
Review: OK. So it's either a masterpiece or cheesy soft porn. This is still one of the best chick flicks to see after a break-up. I own it now and watched it for the first time while in a long-term relationship. It still works. The cinematography is beautiful, the costumes are white and the story is timeless. What woman wouldn't want to cross over to the dark side if she can encounter someone like Richard Tyson? Yum! Besides, men can appreciate Sherilyn Fenn and women can see the full monty, although not Tyson's. Order a pizza, pour a diet Coke or Pepsi, invite your female friends and just enjoy.

Summary: A Gay Man's Perspective.
Review: Okay, ladies, you're not the only ones who find this movie both intellectually vapid and emotionally "stimulating." This flick made me want to run off and join a travelling carnival! I'm glad it's now in DVD, with easy "freeze-frame" functions; my VHS tape was getting worn out trying to "pause" so often during Richard Tyson's many shirtless scenes. :)

Summary: Sex for women - about time!
Review: People have criticized this movie for not being intellectually stimulating, and they are correct. However, it's not my intellect that I want stimulated when I watch this movie! And I cannot believe the whole "carpet doesn't match the drapes " thing; if you're going to nitpick the movie, watch it CAREFULLY - they mention that she dyed her hair when she first comes back to her parents' from college. Anyway, it doesn't have a brilliant plot, it's not a brain teaser and it's not great art. It is a wonderfully crafted sexual fantasy, and I believe that was what it was intended to be.

Summary: The eternal question -- what's up with Zalman King?
Review: Say this for Zalman King -- he knows how to film a sex scene. His films are frequently ludicrous and always seem to be in danger of collapsing under their own lurid symbolism but nobody can argue that he hasn't come up with some truly erotic images. Partly this is because King has consistently cast some of the most beautiful and sensous actors and actresses in film today. A perfect example -- the amazing Sherilyn Fenn is Two Moon Junction, the insane Southern melodrama that remains King's "best film." Fenn is the deceptively sweet daughter of a grand old Southern family who, despite being expected to marry a typically bland social equal, finds her drawn to drifer Richard Tyson. Now, this isn't exactly a love story -- at least not in the way that Hollywood usually makes love stories. What is made perfectly clear here is that the main attraction between Fenn and Tyson is that they have really great sex and a lot of it. And most of it on screen. Certainly, Burl Ives and Juanita Moore and a few other out-of-work name actors wander through the film without disrobing and King attempts to make a few "statements" about the nature of man. Fenn gives a strong performance (suggesting the charisma she'd later reveal in Twin Peaks) but in the end, this film becomes a rare combination of an unintentional campfest and an amazingly erotic film. Watching it seems to produce a bizarre combination of being both totally amused and seriously turned on.Even though his name doesn't seem to carry the same pop cultural amusement as it used to, Zalman King is still out there -- fighting to get his whacked-out vision of a world obsessed with sex, jump cuts, and needless camera angles onto screens across the world. The man who once played Jesus Christ in the movies has gone on to be come the foremost purveyor of pretentious sleaze -- i.e., films that try to hide their pornographic or exploitation roots by dressing all the sex and violence up with a bunch of metaphysical blather about the nature of man and such. And I say more power to him. Though King appears to take his work far too seriously and most of his films -- when you get right down to it -- are rather bad, they're also very entertaining in a "Somebody-actually-made-this-way." Zalman King is the Ed Wood of softcore -- his plotlines and dialouge are always good for a laugh. And say what you might about his skills as a director, King knows how to make even the most ludicrous scenes erotic.
