Review of Mischievous

Mischievous (1996)
Great movie, quite possibly Jennifer Burton's best...A-
23 May 2002
Jennifer Burton's performance in this movie was quite good, and dare I say it was better than her role in "Playtime", where she seemed to be upstaged and outshined by Monique Parent.

The story itself is quite simple: Jeff (Doug Jeffery) is an architect. He works with his longtime buddy, Gabe, at an architectural firm. Jeff's engaged and will be married quite soon to a half-way decent looking woman. Everything seems to be going alright, right?

Well, he goes to his high school reunion and runs into an old flame from school, Angela (Jennifer Burton). He doesn't exactly run into her, however....she sends him some sort of device that makes a smokescreen, causing everyone to high-tail it out of the room. In walks Angela a few moments later, wearing nothing but a red bra and matching panties, gliding effortlessly around Jeff. He saw the bait, and he took it.

For the next 80 minutes, Angela makes Jeff jump through hoops and climb walls to have sex with her. Every time it's a different "dare" for Jeff to try to complete. Sex on a rooftop, breaking into a house and having sex there....Angela even dresses up as a hooker and offers to have sex with Jeff in his car for $20! The things she makes him go through, it's quite amusing.

What Jeff doesn't know (at least not at the beginning) is that Angela isn't the envelope-pushing, live-on-the-edge sex goddess she appears to be....it's all part of her "master plan" which is revealed in the last 20-odd minutes. I won't ruin it for the 8 or 9 of you who are gonna stick around for the whole thing, but let's just say it's not very shocking.

Jennifer Burton really showed me something in this flick. She may be as flat as the aluminum siding on my house, but she knows how to move in just the right way. About halfway through the movie, she has a phone sex scene with Jeff, while Jeff is in the middle of a business meeting! Her actions in this scene reminded me of "Playtime" when she and Monique Parent made each other squeal on the couch. This phone call causes Jeff to miss his meeting, which in turn gets him fired. This pushes him off the deep end, vowing to get revenge on Angela. "Now, it's my turn," he says. Oh boy.....

The "Women" grade isn't that high, but the better-than-your-average-softcore-movie script gets high marks from me, so it boosts the overall grade a bit. The sex scenes moved the story along, as usual. Nothing remarkable in them, but Jenny does a lot of moaning.
