Summary: Weak acting and weird story.
Review:
Other than the firm sexy bodies and the steamy erotic scenes I don't find another reason to watch the movie. I was particularly astonished with the weak acting capabilities of the cast and the weird ending of the movie. What was intended to be a twist at the end of the movie, turned out to be more of a confusing unrealistic tease!

I don't know when are we going to get a decent erotica movies that respect the viewers' mentalities and do not undermine the audience expectations.


Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GOOD!
Review: Forbidden is a good adult movie.The sex is explicicit and the
women look great.Such an incindent can occur in real life!
The music is also good.Jason(Dillon Silver) appears to be
a promising actor.Niki(Renee Rea) looks just like Britney Spears.
The story is good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good softcore, but drags a bit in the middle.
Review: Forbidden is a softcore film that gets praised a lot as one of the "must haves", but it's difficult to find a copy. I didn't think that the film lived up to all the hype, but it is still a good softcore film and a worthwhile purchase.

The movie gets off to a great start. There are a couple of scenes from a bachelor party where two strippers show off their beautiful bodies. This is followed by three boy/girl scenes and one boy/girl/girl shower scene. At this point, you're just short of the halfway point in the film. However, instead of keeping the momentum going, the film stumbles at this point. There are only two more full sex scenes for the rest of the film. There's still a lot of nudity and some "sort of" sex scenes, but none of it generates much heat.

So you end up with six scenes. All of them are good, and two of them are fantastic. There's some interesting locations, good camera work, very explicit shots, and the actors and actresses are always audible.

There are two women who are the focus of most of the movie (Tracy and Renee). Both are beautiful and give great performances. There are three more women, who are all also beautiful, but we only see them briefly.

This thing could have been really great. It only runs for 83 minutes. All the "sort of" scenes could have been developed into full sex scenes and the film still would have come in at only 90 minutes. I would have liked to see better use of the other women.

This is good, but there are many other softcore films out there that are better, and easier to aquire.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best in the western hemisphere!
Review: Forbidden is absolutely the cream of the crop of American softcore, a position which I used to grant to "Play Time" with Jennifer Burton. This film goes way further than that one, and out-performs even the kinkiest of Skinemax's erotic soap operas. The skin factor here goes off the scale, and gets extremely daring and explicit, moreso than all the other American softcore that I've seen (and trust me, I've seen a LOT!). Shannon Whirry, Shannon Tweed, and Monique Parent films should be on Disney compared to this. Zalman King, the publicly accepted king of American softcore, is put to shame by this film. I don't want to get too graphic with my descriptions--I CAN'T--but let's just say that this is the closest I've seen an American product get to duplicating the great euro-sleaze genre typified by Jean Rollin and Walerian Borowczyk films. Beautiful women with absolutely no shame in exposing themselves entirely!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: More Spice Channel Than Psychological
Review: I did not buy this DVD from Amazon, but was interested as I had seen it advertised as a "psychological thriller of romance and intrigue" (or something like that) and it sounded unusual. It more closely resembles something from late night HBO or the Spice Channel. The story is not really particularly involved, but in the end everyone gets burned and nobody is really who they seem to be.

As far as the story itself goes, there isn't much plot other than an ongoing theme of infidelity (and inability to trust your friends), and relaxed dress and moral codes. The actors generally are quite good looking, and the cast largely does a good job with their roles. The movie seems implausible enough (and is) but there is an interesting and unexpected twist in the last ten minutes of the film that earns the movie a couple of stars above an HBO late night production. I won't spoil the twist, but will say that it does make the entire premise of the film much more plausible, if still not entirely so.

Not really a true romantic psychological thriller, it is well done for what it is.

Summary: Cool movie!
Review: In a genre crowded with mediocrity this little gem delivered on all levels! Great looking women (although I would've given 5 stars if there were more than 4 of them), nice "action", EXCELLENT story, and quite a bit of craft involved with it's production. Also the fun DVD extras were a nice surprise, it's like hanging out on the set. I did a credit search and it seems like the Producer and Director were responsible for a bunch of Playboy's better titles.

Summary: about the movie...Forbidden
Review: Jason is a young man at a crossroad in his life. He is about to marry his beautiful and adoring fiancée Lisa. But first he has to survive the ultimate bachelor party being thrown for him by his best friend and best man Andy. However, Jason is committed to remaining faithful, and slips away from the festivities to hide out at the hotel coffee shop. There he meets Nikki, a fascinating woman with whom he forms an immediate bond. The two of them end up sharing the perfect intimate night together and agree that it will remain their erotic secret locked away in time forever.

Two years later, Jason and Andy have not seen each other since the wedding and Andy relocated to the other side of the country. The old friends plan a reunion weekend at a fantastic Malibu Beach house that Andy has rented. Jason brings his wife Lisa and Andy brings the woman he is planning to marry. When the four finally meet up, Jason is shocked to discover that Andy's fiancée is none other than Nikki (now Monique) the woman from his bachelor party - the very woman he has not been able to shake from his fantasies for the past two years.

Jason's thoughts and feelings run amok..."I'm married", "Monique is engaged to Andy my best friend", "I am still ridiculously attracted to her and not a day has passed that I haven't thought of her". It is obvious to Jason that to pursue his feelings for Monique would be wrong. But sometimes the most tempting fruits are the ones which are Forbidden.

There are multiple sex scene, nudes in this movie which I give a rating of four(for those whom likes to watch multiple sex scenes in a movie). I give a rating of 3 star for the story in the movie.
