Cameron Daddo and Brandy Ledford play a typical suburban couple with typical jobs and a couple of typical kids. Unfortunately their sex life is starting to get somewhat boring, so they reluctantly decide to engage in some drug-fuelled mate swapping with another carefully-chosen couple. What could
possibly go wrong?Well, plenty as it turns out. The other couple is played by former vampire-slayer Kristy Swanson and a darkly-menacing Stephen Baldwin. For some unfathomable reason, the latter becomes totally obsessed with his fresh play-pals. This leads him to go w-a-a-a-y over the top in furthering his new
best bro's career, with serious life-altering consequences. (He can do this because he seems to have both unlimited time and money at his disposal, for no clearly explained reason.)Ms. Ledford, who is actually quite a talented actress, steals the show here. She will likely always be best-remembered as the mysterious masked lady in a travelogue hosted by Motley Crue's lead vocalist. Kristy Swanson is OK eye-candy too, but runs a distant second to the shapely Brandy here.It's all in good entertaining fun, and a great cautionary morality tale as well for young couples just starting out. I have always wondered though - why has some wily entrepreneur not released a disc with this movie and the previously-mentioned travelogue both on it. I'm sure it would be a very hot
item. But what do I know about media licensing rules?

to this film, which is a cable ready movie, so use that as the parameter to judge it.Kristy Swanson is Stephen Baldwin's wife, they are swingers who come across a personal ad placed by a bored married couple (Cameron Daddo is believable as a bored sales executive).There are a few artful scenes in the beginning, which slowly degenerate to predictable, but then the couple begin to pursue Daddo and his wife, as well as their children. They pop up at a birthday party, buy them a plasma TV and move in to the vacant house next door.There is an amusing scene where Baldwin says he and Louise (Kristy Swanson) are committed to the relationship and want it long-term, apparently swingers "going steady" to avoid the possibility of HIV, other complications.Overall it is entertainment, worth watching for Baldwin as the villain. 5/10.

At first glance a steamy erotic movie starring Kristy Swanson doesn't really sound all that bad but man was I wrong. Basically, your typical established middle class couple has lost their flame and decide to spice it up with a little swinger action. Everything is great at first and of course the swinger couple they meet (Baldwin and Swanson) turns out to be a couple of grade-A psychos that wont go away. Now this isn't that bad of a plot to go on because it's a couple not just one person involved in the psychotically-in-love-with-you storyline. It's a bit of a twist on an overused tale but not nearly enough to save this film becoming a one copy rental at your local blockbuster.So the final verdict on this movie is that it's just flat out bad. They obviously spent all their money on Baldwin and Swanson because all the other actors in this movie belong in college theatre. Regardless of the low level acting skills none of the characters are believable anyway. The first married couple look too much like wholesome suburbanites and the swingers look too much like well a sleazy swinger couple. That sort of thing. In all honesty this movie isn't even really worth reviewing this in depth. In all probability the only reason anyone would watch this movie is for the abundance of stale unrealistic sex scenes. Being a guy myself I can assure you that they aren't even worth it.P.S All you Kristy Swanson fans hoping to maybe see a little something in this flick, you wont. She somehow manages to keep her clothes halfway on through 3-4 sex scenes.

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.
