Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Claudio Carvalho The upper middle class Wendy Barnet (Brandy Ledford) and Alan Barnet (Cameron Daddo) are married with children and live in the suburbs. Alan is disputing a promotion with his co-worker Neil Bradley (Vincent Corazza) but his relationship with Wendy is boring. They decide to buy a swingers magazine and contact an attractive couple to rekindle their sex life. The couple Louise (Kristy Swanson) and Jack Bauer (Stephen Baldwin) schedule a date with them at the Zebra Lounge and they go to a place where they swap wives. Wendy and Alan feel satisfied with the encounter but Louise and Jack want to meet them again. Soon they find how persistent Jack is. "Zebra Lounge" is a sexy but lame erotic-thriller. The story is predictable and full of roles. But Kristy Swanson and Brandy Ledford are very sexy and make this film worthwhile watching. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Encontro Secreto" ("Secret encounter")

Alexander Pryor Alain and Wendy's Barnet boredom in sexual life sexual is cured by one and one only swinging experience, although they enjoyed it very much. It is hard to buy that sudden cure. On the other hand the other couple is portrayed much too shallow and flat. They are yuppies, yet they act more and more retarded towards the end of the film. We never find out what's their real motivation behind their action. Stephen Baldwin acting is great though. All in all the film is formalistic. Plot points are coming one after the other in their desperate attempts to shock the audience. It seems that their only reason is to make everything more interesting - triller like. The ending is very disappointing. Also the moral message of the story is too simple. Either you are white or black. If you're black or just a bit gray you'll pay the price.

lingmeister Besides the lack of steam, the whole concept makes no sense. For a mutual partnership to evolve, there should be some sort of trust and attraction between the people, but why would one couple keep on pursing this relationship when the other couple obviously is not going to give the same in return? It is no better than going to a professional escort service which would provide you with all the needs and even make believe that they actually care for you. When it comes down to the point of threats, is there a point in continuing the relationship? We're not talking about some obsessed person who cannot leave a relationship, but professional swingers who seeks someone who they are comfortable with and whom they could trust. And after the first few bad encounters, all those qualities in this relationship is gone.As for Kristy Swanson being in the role of the seductress, it is all cold shower from her. The real steamer role comes from Brandy Ledford, who is suppose to be the wife that reluctantly went along with the swinger idea. She had all the body cues to entice even the stiffest of corpses while Swanson acted more like a tomboy or dominatrix.

George Parker In "Zebra Lounge" a married couple decides to try "swinging" and gets more than they bargained for. Although offering an okay complement of second-tier acting with the emphasis on drama over sexsationalism, "ZL" has the look and feel of a soap opera with a naive screenplay, too many plot-holes, and obviously scripted characters. Very ordinary stuff for hard up channel surfers.
