5/10
Good Performance by Sherilyn Fenn
6 December 2015
Born into a very prestigious and powerful Southern family, "April Delongpre" (Sherilyn Fenn) pretty much has her life planned for her as she is supposed to marry the son of another rich and respected family nearby. Although she doesn't quite love her fiancé, "Chad Fairchild" (Martin Hewitt) he is certainly nice enough to her and for that reason she doesn't actively resist her upcoming marriage to him. Then one day she just happens to meet a poor and wild young man named "Perry (Richard Tyson)" and suddenly her passions get the best of her in the worst possible way. Now, while any film featuring Sherilyn Fenn in a soft-core sex role would normally get my attention, this particular film turned out to be somewhat disappointing due in large part to the slow pace of the movie from start to finish. Likewise, although her performance was quite good, I would have preferred the vivacious, brunette version of Sherliyn Fenn found in "Boxing Helena" over the blonde, demure type presented here. Of course, the role called for a more classy personality but for some reason it didn't quite resonate as well in the overall context of the story. Something just wasn't right. Again, the slow pace didn't help in that regard either. In any case, from what I understand Sherilynn Fenn did not enjoy making this movie but even so she was the only reason this film wasn't a complete disaster as she was absolutely stunning. Be that as it may, I have rated the movie accordingly. Average.
