The Trade Off

First off, I saw the standard version and not the uncut one "that goes all the way." I have to say I had a good time, surprisingly. I'll give it a 10 because my expectations were low. Now I didn't buy it thinking that I was throwing my money away. But I bought it thinking it would be like a Showgirls, so bad it's good. The acting is spotty at times to say the least, especially from some of the "actresses" but I'm assuming in the uncut version you're likely to see why they got the part. I'm actually tempted to get both versions just to see what the hype is about, because this one has plenty of sex and flesh as is. Anyway, pretty girls, nice story, some funny scenes, few intentional, some not intentional, but an all around good time.

The acting is the weakest link in this otherwise descent low budget softcore porn film. Is it worth watching in this day and aged of free porn all over the internet? Certainly the answer to this question would be hell yeah a decade ago, now I'd still say yes, but not "hell yeah!" There is a good story and plot, interesting characters and enough of a movie here. The sex supplements things as apposed to trying to be the star of the show. Similar to fight scenes or car chases in an action movie or death scenes and fake scares in a horror movie. The guys are better actors than the girls and you can tell this is a first time effort for a lot of the females in this film. It's not enough to take you out of the movie, but it is noticeable. Worth the watch, the girls are hot, the sex is hot and there is plenty going on in the film to keep your attention for the run time.

"Arthur Blake was an adulterer and proud of it." That is a huge understatement. "He had sex without shame, from one-night stands to an affair with his best friend's wife." Boy did he, this is a fun sex flick with lots of nudity and sex and the actress that played his best-friend's wife is smoking hot. "However, Arthur's world soon starts to crumble shortly after his 30th birthday. He loses his job, his best friend, and could lose his wife." I liked the story and characters a lot and I was pleasantly surprised so much effort was given. "With nowhere to turn, he looks to his past and a fractured family relationship, which may be his last hope to save his marriage and himself." The actress that played the lead character's mother was really good and adds some much needed depth to his character.
