(Softcore)
Monique Parent is somewhat frustrated by her husband's lukewarm libido, and
takes matters into her own hand frequently. She mentions this to the wife of
her husband's law partner, Jennifer Burton, while drinking mimosas topless by
the Palm Springs resort pool. Obviously, the four have known each other a long
time, and all work in the office. The arrival of a pool cleaner sends the
girls scurrying inside, where they decide to watch each other masturbate.
Next, they bring a husband into the act, and then finally try for the other
husband, who reacts badly. We learn via flashbacks that his reaction was
caused by something Julie Strain and Tammy Parks did to him when he was 18. He
causes a battle that threatens to end two marriages and a successful law
practice.
Playtime has long been unavailable on Region 1 DVD. Since it is a solid example of couples erotica, I am glad to see that corrected. The film
consists of nearly non-stop
nudity and simulated sex in groups of 1, 2, 3 and 4, with decent photography
throughout. It is a bonus that the filmmakers and cast also somehow make
you care about the horny characters.
If you are not familiar with our grading system, you need to
read the
explanation, because the grading is not linear. For example, by
our definition, a
C is solid and a C+ is a VERY good movie. There are very few Bs
and As. Based on our descriptive system, this film is a:
C
Solid couples' erotica.
