A Reasonably Good Softcore Film

With a title like "The Key To Sex" one might surmise, that this is some kind of sexual instruction guide. Well it's not, it's a fairly good soft porn movie. The key in the title is the key to movie producer, Alan's flashy Malibu home, which is kept hidden under a ceramic frog.. Alan, who has to go on a weeklong business trip, leaves the care of his home, in his personal assistant Simon's, hands, with instructions not to let anyone in. Unfortunately events work against Simon's good intentions and the home becomes week long house of copulation.

First, the office receptionist, Carrie (Jeannie Millar) a hot brunette, whom Simon (Scott Carson) has dreams about, asks if he's going to throw a party, leading Simon to improvise, so the spur of the moment, he invites his roommate Matt to come and bring a girl. Matt brings Ring, (Jacquelline Lovell) a stripper and the tone is set for an erotic evening.

The next night Simon's boss's philandering partner, Michael, (Christian Malmin) pulls rank on Simon and demands access to Alan's home for a rendezvous with Tina, (Monique Parent), then the next day Simon finds the key under the ceramic frog missing and the front door unlocked. When he enters he finds Alan's girlfriend Christy, (Maria Ford) out by the pool, engaged in a lesbian interlude.

Things continue on like this for awhile with Michael coming out as a snake, juggling mistress's with girlfriends and eventually, with Simon's help, being caught.

CONCLUSION

Personally, for an erogenous soft-core skin flick, I didn't find The Key to Sex to be overly stimulating, which considering the positive elements of the film is surprising.

The story, as a whole was one of the better ones I've seen for this genre, the ladies were comely, as well as shapely and the sets were relatively realistic. The direction, editing and cinematography were all good. The cast was well chosen and the acting, for a soft-core film was good to excellent. There was plenty of nudity and I believe eight or nine sex scenes, although all seemed less than real and not very passionate. More like they were going through the motions. Overall I give this film high marks but not quite 5 stars. For those who enjoy erotica, I recommend The Key to Sex with a 4.25 rating. November 21, 2005

This is not the key to sensual softcore

Do not be fooled into buying this movie. If you are looking for a sensual, clever softcore film with lingerie, stockings and the like, than look elsewhere. Any sex that is shows is not steamy or provocative. There are far less expensive alternatives if you are looking for something good in the softcore genre that can be shared with a signficant other.

A very hot, fun softcore video.

Low level male office assistant is tasked with watching his rich boss's mansion while the boss is away on business. The mansion becomes the focal point for several sex scenes. The women (Maria Ford, Jeannie Millar, Jacqueline Lovell, and Monique Parent) are all very hot. Maria Ford and Monique Parent get the best scenes. Jeannie Millar is unfortunately underused, but her one scene is very good.

This one almost qualified for 5 stars, but just missed it because of a couple of problems. There are several times where it felt like something more explicit had been censored out. I just chalk it up to bad editing since so many other scenes are far too explicit for this to be an R rated version. Also, there is a lesbian scene involving Jacqueline Lovell and another girl that is completely ruined because we see the whole thing from the viewpoint of a handheld camcorder. To screw up a Jacqueline Lovell lesbian scene like that is unforgivable.

But overall you are still left with a lot of really hot sex scenes. This one is easy to recommend. July 9, 2003

Jeannie Millar is spectacular, but....

The opening scene is about as good as this [bad] excuse of a softcore pr0nflcik gets. February 27, 2003
