I have to admit that Tamara Landry, whose Vulcan-like acting was a huge turn-off in The Pamela Principle and the Kama Sutra series steps it up a bit and shows some life in Carnal Desires. She looks mighty good here and so does Susan Featherly. The story is really out there, with the strange story of six people whose sexual affairs intertwine with each other. It would be too difficult to explain the plot and what happens, but there's a crazy whopper of a finale and they certainly found a way to have it end happily. Yes, there's a happy ending despite what happens in the events of this film. Pure cop out!
Still, I have to judge the actors here (who do a cheesy but decent job, BTW). Steve Ginsburg, who plays Mick the masseuse who gets involved with all the women in the female cast, is kind of a goofy looking leading man. He has a 50's style haircut, a long nose, and he's a bit like Steve Curtis' character from Illicit Lovers. You'd also think that Peggy Trentini would be his sister as they both have long noses. Trentini looks like Elizabeth Kaitan; they could pass for twins. Mia is kind of nice, but she needs to have her rack raised up and quick. And the bald guy who plays Tony, the token extra actor? He needed to speak up; I couldn't hear him.
Like Jay Madison's softies, all of Eric Gibson's films start with spoilers of what you'll see, too. At least the women aren't as hideous to the eyes as Illicit Lovers were.
