All for Lust (2003) Reviews

• It isn't Citizen Kane but it still did the job.

  This was a very good b-movie. I think there was a plot, but I'm not sure. If your interested in plots, you shouldn't be watching b-movies anyway. The women are hot, the scenes are long, and it was exactly what I hoped for. The best thing about the "plot" was that it didn't get in the way of what I was there for. Mia Zottoli looks better than just about any woman I've ever seen in a b-movie. The sex scenes are fake and thats obvious (you can tell), but most involve Mia on top moving around and she looks awesome. The best scene is when the guy has sex with her and, a few days later when he approaches her, she has no idea who he is. Good stuff if its on late at night on Skinimax.

  "All For Lust" was a bad film, even by softcore porn standards. The story was extremely weak. Three guys head to a resort area for a bachelor party. One of the guys is getting married shortly, and his buddies take him to a resort to enjoy his last few days of freedom. Apparently, after they return home, one of the guys needs to track down one of the women he slept with because something terrible has happened. I watched the entire film, but I didn't really understand much else after that. Most of the plot didn't make any sense, the conversations between the characters were downright silly, and it seemed that folks were just having sex out of the blue, like a hardcore porno without a script attatched. It seemed unintentional; "Night Calls: The Movie" and its sequel had flimsy stories too, but the actors were having fun with the stupid dialogue. The sex scenes were in slow motion, and a few of them felt like they took forever. The sheer number of sex scenes prevent this film from getting an F, as well as the number of big knockers present. Mia makes an appearance in this film, showing of her gorgeous, post boob-job body. She gives the audience a taste of what's in "Sinful Temptations" from beginning to end. There's not much else to say about this film, other than it was definitely NOT tapeworthy and NOT time well spent. Women: B (Hardcore porn actresses continue to make the crossover into the softcore realm, as Jacklyn Lick and Samantha Sterlyng show their pretty faces in this flick. Mia also contributes a sex scene.) Sex: B- (Good, but not great sex scenes. There were so many of them, but most of them were in slow motion.) Story: F (What a waste of time putting that script together. The dialogue was awful, and Jacklyn at times looked like she was forgetting to say her lines, or at least hesitating through them. She wasn't the only guilty one, though. The plot was barely there, if at all.) Overall: D+ (The women and sex scenes can't save just how bad this movie is. Even by softcore standards, this film was terrible.)

  Brandon and Julie (John Busse and hardcore porno actress Samantha Sterlyng) are about to tie the knot. Brandon and his guy pals, Chase (Nikki Fomosa) and Eric (Micah Bradshaw) have a bachelor party at a kind of "sex resort" where hired girls give the boys plenty of action, a "bang for the buck" so to speak. One of the girls there, Sonja (Jacklyn Lick) becomes "attached" to Brandon and decides that she wants him for herself, causing much mischief (including seducing his soon-to-be-wife, Julie!) and problems along the way. Notable for its *many* sex scenes (of a softcore variety), "All for Lust" is standard midnight fare for those who get a thrill out of undemanding sleaze. The "thriller" portion of the story is absolutely weak, the idea that Sonja will ruin Brandon's life because she feels "scorned" (even though she is supposed to know that the boys aren't there for full term relationships, but for no other reason but to get laid). A lot of softcore shows and movies on Cinemax have featured the plot element about the "wager" of "which one of us can have sex with the most women". It results in ill will, and rightfully so. Chase tells Sonja he is Brandon; Sonja just loved her sex with Chase. Sonja proceeds to harm Brandon believing it is Chase. Somehow Julie is dragged into it as Sonja assumes the identity of a woman working at her place of employment. The two of them hit it off, eventually leading to a lesbian encounter. Easily the best moment in the film for me personally, the lesbian conquest (just to further her revenge of Brandon) was all kinds of smoldering, the way Sonja makes a move, waits to see if Julie responds, confirmed that this married woman is in fact interested in having sex with her. The softcore genre isn't known for strong storytelling or performances of a particular quality; it's the simple truth. "All for Lust", however, is loaded with sex scene after sex scene—most who watch these films fast forward through the moments of dialogue anyway. Mia Zottoli shows up for a sex scene but doesn't have an important character in the movie other than her role as a "purveyor of pleasure". A lot of lesbian encounters in movies of this kind are lifeless because the actresses involved actually prefer men (it shows), but the scene between Sterlyng and Lick looked like the two genuinely enjoyed making love to each other; I'm more turned on when the two actresses on screen seem to be into each other, than going through the motions.

• I really liked the plot!

  I am sure you know that these B-grade soft-core movies recycle plots over and over again: the beautiful model whose success in her new job makes the former hottest model come up with a plan to kill her; the lonely housewife whose husband spends too much time at the office, screwing his gorgeous secretary when work is finished; girls who travel abroad to have wild sex; and the list goes on and on... In this case, "All for Lust" delivers a plot which I find interesting: one soon-to-be-married guy, along with his two buddies, decide to have the Bachelor party at some spa, specially designed for people hungry for sex. I mean, it is infested with gorgeous women, from visitors to gym trainers, all ready to enjoy. What is more, to make thing more interesting, the guys make a bet as to who can score the most during their stay, a bet that consists in achieving the 'goals' they withdraw from a base (e.g. 'You will have to have sex with the cleaning lady, and take pictures while at it'). Once they return home, they realize that one of the ladies from the spa is not willing to let the man who gave her an unforgettable night go, and is determined to have him no matter what. Who is the guy?, what is this woman capable of?. See for yourself... Honestly, this is the average B-grade sex movie you are used to watching. You will find very beautiful women and interesting sex scenes, though (one including a hot tub). Although the acting is bad, you will have a good time with this one.

  Spoilers herein. I am involved in a study of `serious' film, but often dive into the nether world of bad movies. I have a hobby of finding something interesting in any film, no matter how bad. This one is my greatest challenge so far. Quite apart from the normal badness, this film is decidedly non-erotic, and features truly unappealing cows. The transfer to DVD has been directly from tape which produces huge compression artifacts. The production values are as low as it is possible to go, except for the energetic guy with the drum kit. The story is: three guys screw around on a weekend and one of the women stages a `Fatal Attraction' type of stalking. As with all films of this ilk, the bad one is the redhead, something that interests me greatly. Why the redhead always? So what can we say about this that is positive? -- I was convinced that the caller was the cheated wife and was looking for that twist, when a twist did come from out of the blue from another direction. It didn't matter, but at least it was a mild fold in the dreary plot. -- The quality of the photography was as bad as home video, with no art or competence whatever. But the editing showed at least some awareness, even though most scenes were shown a couple times. There was some rhythm. Not interesting, but at least it was there. I can only imagine that there is an x-rated version of this where that editing may have more interest, The way to enjoy things like this is to build your own subnarrative, My preferred one is built around one of the `girls,' a blond Jamie Lee Curtis type that is the only one not repellant. She plays a special role. She is the first girl encountered at the sex hideaway, and the only one that flirts. She is the girl in room 57, which is also the room later occupied by Sonja, the crazy one. Later, when the guys track down suspects, she is having a `party' with presumably all the suspects though we only see two. I surmise that this blond is friends with both wives and that the whole passel of women conspired to set this up once they learned of the bachelor party. The featured wife is the mastermind (the bomb is a fake) and the redhead a loopy dupe. All of a sudden, this gets pretty interesting. Because it is (?) set in Dallas in the early sixties, and because one of the guys is cop, it gives clues to the assassination of JFK. Ted's evaluation: 1 of 4 -- You can probably find something better to do with this part of your life.
