My Mother the Working Girl

Bunny Madison is delicious in her role as Ricky Spanish's stepmom in this ingratiating story of faux incest. Both actors do a very fine job of developing their characters, headed on a collision course with taboo sex.

Overhearing mom's phone conversation with some man, Ricky becomes convinced that she's cheating on his dad, but is shocked at what really is going on. Following his dad's losing his job, Bunny and he agreed she should go back to prostitution to keep the family out of the poor house, but in addition she reveals that she had met him in the first place as a trick. The kid is confused at his parents' decision making, including the fact that his dad gets off on having her make love to other men, but admires stepmom's willingness to sacrifice.

When he wants her to be the first woman he's ever made love to, she demurs, but is ultimately convinced, and their subsequent role-playing en route to popping his cherry is delightful. It adds up to a touching little vignette.
