Chocolate & Sex si! Healthy Foods & Exercise: no!
lor_28 July 2022
Patti Rhodes provides a delightfully irreverent screenplay for partner Fred Lincoln to direct in this Julie Meadows vehicle for VCA Pictures, making for oveall light entertainment.

Julie's working on her doctoral thesis in psychology, trying to prove that chocolate is good for you "releases hormones that promote mental health" while the craze for healthy food and physical fitness exercise is detrimental to one's mental health and cuts down on the sex drive. This tongue-in-cheek proselytizing proves amusing and her research on the subject emphasizes sex.

It's fun to watch how easily she convinces people about her dubious theory, including fitness nut Evan Hunt who eats one cookie (after a year of deprivation) and is not only in agreement but instantly humping Julie in a jacuzzi. Her pal Gina Ryder is a personal trainer, but also becomes a believer. She gets research subjects via the internet and Charlie earns breast in show when she shows up with her sex slave Jonathan SImms to participate in the study.

Script peters out and definitely needed a rewrite in the later reels, when after Nick Manning had been established as Julie's lover (I even thought they were married) suddenly a subplot introduces tattooed Marty Romano as her unlikely boyfriend, and Nick is written out of the picture.

Veteran director Fred Lincoln knows how to pace the doling out of sex to the fans, reserving the final two scenes for anal sex (a Julie specialty), as Romano services first another girlfriend Monique DeMoan and then Julie. She receives a B on her paper, a slight concession that maybe all that sugar being promoted here is not as healthy as she claimed after all.
