Friend of the Family Audience Reviews

Bardlerx Strictly average movie
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Dhruv Srivastava Don't be alarmed by the title. I'm not talking about the vintage bushes. Being an Indian, I have seen an older Indian movie which shares plot similarities with this movie, however that one is an ethical, family value teaching movie. For those interested, its called- Bawarchi (1972).This movie was a softcore porn combined with a potential script. A lady, acquaintance of the mistress of the house, just emerges out of the blue asking for just a place to live in their house, and eventually ends up ridding the dysfunctional family of their relationship problems. Shauna O'Brien happens to be that unknown angel and I was left stumped with the way she played her role. Absolutely charming and talented she is. Griffin and Lisa were bangin' hot. Burke and Will were good with their roles and kept me interested in the movie, despite my impressions and presumptions of it being another crap B-grade movie. Overall, the story was very well and I would love to give it a go again sometime. This movie gets an 8 from me.
tootster Hi All, I first rented this movie from Video Ezy, Australia in 1998. The first time I played this - I loved it. I was and am not worried whether it was a B grade film or thought about the level of quality the movie provided. I initially rented it out as YES it had some soft porn content as envisaged when reading about the storyline and also it intrigued me.I watched it several times during the rental of the film, and then over time I taped it when it came through cable TV. I had this recorded for me as a surprise gift (that is how much I liked it) through my partner. Which obviously we watched together the first time round.I watched it again tonight (believe it or not) after a few years because I watched another movie of similar nature and I felt like watching it again.The things I liked about this movie was: firstly the hot and sultry actresses. Certainly gave off some steam! Such as Lisa Boyle as first interest and certainly Shauna O'Brien. They oozed sexual appeal. Griffin Drew was there as well but my focus / attention was mainly set on Lisa & Shauna. My observations and favourite parts of the film were: the sex scene between Montana (Lisa Boyle) and Billy (Begue Georges). He was the french male with the muscles near the beginning of the film. I thought this scene was raunchy....individual likings as I see it.Although,I thought Montana portrayed a promiscuous teenager - namely at the age of 27 (in real age). She learnt eventually through being taught some simple life values when growing up as an adult.Then secondly, not the bathtub scene so much although I like watching girl to girl scenes, but mostly the montage' which Josh did of Elke (Shauna) with the rendition of "Slave to Love" by Bryan Ferry. In their terms was titled "So Sexual" with the background music of Slave To Love. I wonder what turns me on about this scene, as I see it....It was definitely Shauna's beauty, her confidence oozed throughout the clip, and the white bikinis comforting her gorgeous tanned and well-looked after body. They looked good together. I thought it was sensational that piece in the film. I liked the way it was put together. I usually rewind it a few times when it comes to that scene. And did tonight. So they are the most favourite parts of the film I liked in a sensual sense.Overall, I also thought the talks between the Dad (Jeff) and Montana (Lisa B) were worthwhile and good to listen for valuable advice. It was how the actors portrayed the words in the scenes, which I thought were quite convincing. Lastly, of course, Elke was great with her wisdom, positive and objective advice she bought towards the family. The seduction and sex scenes with the family were an added bonus and were meant to send a message to the viewer in a more pragmatic light.I overall think that Elke (the title as I know it) is a good film to watch without too much to take in, easy to understand and easy on the eye. Not much of a plot but I suppose a "feel-good film" in an angelic sense. At the end, the story as it was written - achieved some positive results.Thanks for your time,
insomniac_rod This cult steamy soft core flick has aired for many times on Skinemax and many Latin American cable channels. I had the chance to first watch it on cable years ago and to this day, it's one of the best erotic thrillers I've watched. It has everything: a sexy and interesting plot, hot women, hot sex scenes, and likable characters.You can't go wrong if Lisa Boyle, Shauna O'Brien, and Griffin Drew are in the same movie. I'm a huge fan of Shauna O'Brien but I must admit that Lisa Boyle OWNED this movie. The woman is fantastic. She's hot, extremely beautiful, and is a delight to watch her sex scenes. She's wild!This movie is famous (or infamous?) for it's lesbian sex scenes and for Lisa Boyle's sex scene in the car. Check out Shauna's sex scenes; she's the best. No one like her could do lesbian soft core porn like Mrs. O'Brien. Also, her sex scene with the father is memorable. I expected more sex from Shauna but well she delivers expectations on the sex factor. She goes to bed with the step-mom and father, and tongue kisses the daughter and the song. She's a naughty friend! I enjoyed her scenes because if she didn't have sex, she would wear the sexiest outfits (spectacular mini dresses, tight jeans, etc.).Watch this movie if you appreciate soft core flicks. This is for sure, one of the best of all time. Buy this one on DVD. But be sure that it's the unrated version. Enjoy! Plenty of sex for all tastes!
Acetylcholine Let's be honest, one does not watch a movie such as this for the intellectual kind of stimulation. It is softcore porn, and is closer to that genre than film. As such, the acting is near always amateurish and unrealistic; story line ridiculous if even existent; and most importantly, its structure is segregated into sex scenes with filler space between them to fake a movie format. A good softcore movie has many great sex scenes, and somewhat entertaining if imbecile filler space. "Friend of the Family" has many good sex scenes, and filler space that is as kind hearted as it is hilariously absurd. This adds up well, recommended! (do make sure to get the unrated version, even god knows that softcores have multiple edits.)
