n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Haven Kaycee
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

In "Illicit Lovers" we have a male prostitute, I mean, escort, that works for his wife. Yes, the wife rents her husband for money. While the idea sounds sexy if you take in account that the main goal of these movies is sex; the plot is dull and gets boring pretty quick. The main situation is that the husband falls in love with one of his clients, who in some point of the movie, rents him for a whole week! and pays the modest sum of $30,000. Or something like that. The horny client wasn't as hot as the wife, by the way.Well, the sex scenes are somehow good. I liked the one that deals with a horny MILF getting it on a desk. Also, any scene involving Michelle Perry was worth the watch. She's a delight to watch; her perfect beautiful face, her great breasts, and her sexy legs were the main reason for me to watch the movie. Thanks Mrs. Perry for wearing those sexy mini skirts and outfits. Anyways, I wouldn't recommend you to watch this movie because it's very boring and not sexy enough to track it down. I watched it only because of Michelle Perry. Now, if you don't like women like her, then this movie will annoy you big time. Watch it only if it airs on Cinemax. And of course, wait only for the sex scenes.

Silicon Valley is the home of many high tech firms. This film came from Silicon Mountains. Don't these girls know when too much looks artificial? They are beautiful, but too much silicone is distracting. If Steve had been a lawyer his actions would be acceptable. But accountants seem unimaginative so his wife needed to take command. Accountants are not supposed to be creative. Good Steve was mentally straight even thought he bought into the wife's pushing under duress. The unreal ending had me puzzled. What type of business is he being asked to run? How much will it pay? Why is he on a vacation when he should be starting work. Is Steve really an incompetent at work but great as a husband?

Porn is good. Porn is fun. Porn is not meant to be a serious film. However, these filmmakers obviously thought this was the little porn that could. One day, some hardcore screenwriter looked at his script and said, "this could be a real movie". And then it was, and things got very, very ugly. Flaws include casting (Suzette Andrea as Denise is utterly unconvincing as someone that could lure a husband from his sexy wife; Michele Perry looks way to old for her husband) and hair and makeup (again, Suzette Andrea has some ridiculous hairstyles). Chief flaw, however, is dialogue. When Denise compares love to a rose to Susan at first one is induced to wonder if she's being sarcastic; when the realization comes that Denise is actually trying to have a serious heart to heart with Susan it is obvious once again that yes, you are watching a glorified porno.

Once again, Jay Madison mixes up an equal mix of horrible acting and women for another "magnum opus", Illicit Lovers.In a review of Intimate Nights, I forgot to mention that before the film starts, we see scenes from the movie being shown, much like how a T.V. show recaps scenes from a past or future episode. Same thing in this one, too, so you'll have a chance to take a look at the medical disasters that make up the female cast.In a nutshell, the story is about a man who loses his job and his wife decides to rent him out as an escort to her friends and later others. He reluctantly does this while his wife shows her greediness in the money made by prostituting him out. After awhile, she has a change of heart and fortunately for her, the husband is very forgiving and all is well.Although the film has morals and that's something unique in this genre, the film fails in every other category.The women - Michelle Perry is a frighteningly hideous woman. How anyone could think this mutant freak is sexy is shocking. A bad mixture of plastic surgery and bad tanning have disfigured her. Just check out the opening scene where she takes off her bathing suit for Steve Curtis. You won't be turned on, you'll be repulsed. And she looks to be 40 in the film; it's like she and Curtis' character are a May-December couple. The other ladies (including Gabriella Hall) are a bit better, but aren't these films supposed to have more attractive women than the hardcore films.The acting - Perry actually does a decent job, but Steve Curtis is brutal. The males actually seem to do a better job than the females in this category, but not here. Curtis' delivers an annoying, corny, wimpy performance. You'd think he'd be more at home on an episode of "Queer As Folk". Also, the lady at the employment offices is brutal; why the film makers decided someone with a snarky, rude, hate-the-world attitude was a good idea was beyond me? A woman like that would be fired in the real world. Then again, this film was probably set in a Bizarro World version of California...The logic - Like Intimate Nights, some things make absolutely no sense. Why did Curtis' character get fired from his job? The film doesn't even explain it. Was he constantly late? Was he taking longer lunch beaks? Was the son of the boss taking over his post? Did he piss off management? Was he using his bosses' Internet account to view naughty pictures? Why? Obviously, he did something really bad without knowing it, as the boss wanted him out of the office immediately and even hired a thuggish, stereotypical moving man to clear the office for him. The film didn't even explain it. Why couldn't he find another job? It was 1999, wasn't there a boom in the dot-com business? The film just treats his attempts to find another office job as a joke. There wasn't another job like his in L.A., or was this just another reason to explain that this must be a Bizarro World version of L.A.? I suppose Curtis' character was a devout Catholic, which was why he was faithful to his wife, despite her greed and other vices, too. Or perhaps she wore the pants in the household, despite doing nothing but lazing in the sun while he pulled in the paycheques. Just the same stupid logic.All in all, I don't recommend this film. It has nothing to offer. There's better and you know where to find them.
