Lack of good storyline.
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Blistering performances.

This review contains spoilers.It took me a while to track down a copy of this little out of print softcore title. But it was worth the wait. Although it didn't completely live up to all the hype, it definitely wasn't a disappointment.The positives.This video understands that eroticism is about more than just showing naked people going at it. Some real thought went into setting up the situations for the sex scenes. There is a common theme of voyeurism, exhibitionism, and forbidden fantasies throughout:Monique Parent masturbating while listening to Jennifer Burton have sex with her husband in the next room.Monique and Jennifer masturbating for each other in the poolhouse.Monique and Jennifer masturbating for each other at work, and then kissing each other afterwards to try and figure out if they are lesbians.Monique and Jennifer masturbating (themselves and each other) in a bedroom, while Jennifer's husband secretly watches from the closet.Jennifer having sex with her husband's female first cousin, in front of her husband.Monique masturbating in a hot tub, while Jennifer and her husband have sex in the same hot tub, right next to her.Jennifer masturbating for and then having sex with Monique's husband.Monique having sex with Jennifer's husband.Monique's husband recounting the time that his stepmom masturbated him, and then brought over a girlfriend to help her do it again.The themes in this video are on the naughty side and masturbation (obviously) is prominent. This really makes it unique among most other softcore that's currently available. This video also understands what its audience wants. From the very start, right up to the end credits, it never lets up. There is very little downtime between the sex scenes.The negatives:As good as the sex scenes were, they could have been better. The women keep their panties on too often and what should have been a full out orgy at the end faded to the credits just as things were getting good. There is no true lesbian scene in this video, and it would have been a great addition.The video gets a little "serious" in the middle, and the actors and actresses are laughably bad at pulling off the dialogue in those scenes.Overall though, this is still a very memorable softcore video. And the fact that this was all done in 1994 is pretty impressive considering how well it compares to more recent stuff.

Until it loses its way in the last couple of scenes which proved very seedy compared with everything that had gone before, this was an extremely erotic two hours which is definitely one to watch with your partner.While making sure the eye-candy is great for the guys - and in Jennifer Burton and Monique Parent we have two of the best, with not a speck of silicone in sight thank goodness - the director makes sure he chose a couple of stars who could actually act too, so the character development was pretty good for a film devoting to offering as many sexy scenes as it could.The whole film is seen from the female point of view, with the two married couples being seen to agonise about whether they should push the boundaries on their marriages - there is no way these people would jump into bed with just anyone.So this gave Play Time the realism that both men and women can identify with, as well as being predominantly a story of loving and straightforward sex between two sets of happily married, if stuck in a sexual rut, couples.The sex scenes are enormously erotic, probably because they are never graphic - a level of eroticism usually only seen in continental soft porn like one of my all-time favourites Emmanuelle.Highly recommended.

Definitely one of the better soft-core titles of recent years. The filmmakers avoid the (almost universally indulged in these days) temptation to feature huge, unnatural mounds of silicone. The two main actresses, Monique Parent and Jennifer Burton are beautiful, yet real, not obvious strippers masquerading as actresses. They can actually act, too. If you like films which are erotic, yet not pornographic, check this one out. Grade: A

Play Time is very good for what it is, a direct-to-video, erotic, B-movie. This one of those movies you rent or watch on television to see beautiful, naked women. Play Time does not disappoint. It provides some of the steamiest and most erotic scenes that I have ever seen. Monique Parent and Jennifer Burton look great in this movie.
