I have nothing to add to the spot-on reviews herein. I just want to say that if you look at the scene near the end of the movie with all the grasshopper-like Martians streaming across the screen, then watch the start of a cross-country skiing race, you might notice a great similarity. Coincidence?

By the way, this movie is truly chilling in spots, not because of what you see or hear, but for how the actors respond to what they are seeing offscreen.

Nine women sign up for a class in striptease at the "extension." Apparently this is an enrichment class, not one you could take to satisfy a degree requirement. Kim Yates plays their instructor, as well she should, having worked once in real life as a showgirl. Each of the women has a story and the movie follows five of them through the class and its affect on their lives.

Using that storyline, Stripper Wives delivers the goods. There are more naked women in this one than dead guys in a Rambo movie. Seven softcore sex scenes, while not incendiary, feature the finest bodies in the movie. Notably absent, however, is Ms. Yates. One of the best softcore actresses ever gets to do nothing more than flash her buns while teaching class. Not arguing with that, but she has no sex scene and no topless shots. Incredible.

Amber Newman and Lauren Hays get the most skin time, which is good. No, real good. Amber has three sex scenes, only the second of which gets down to it. Her third scene is the obligatory girlfest with Ashlyn Gere.

The remaining sex scenes belong to Ashlyn (batting leadoff), Sage Kirkpatrick, Brande Roderick (yes, the 2001 Playmate of the Year and Baywatch babe), and Hays. Just sayin', by the way, this movie is not listed on Brande's web site or on her Wikipedia page. Hmmm….

At the end of the movie, the girls are given their final exam at a local strip club by providing the evening's entertainment. Very nice all around.

Oh, yes. There are some good-looking guys in it, but who cares about them? First-rate production values, as usual from an EROS movie. There isn't a lot of drama in Stripper Wives, just a bunch of wives, or not, stripped. Recommended.

To be clear on the first thing you need to know, the girl on the cover is not in the movie. Oh, well, Kim Yates is. Though Judy Thompson is the lead, the movie belongs to Kim. She is not the best actress you have ever heard get through her lines somehow, but she is without peer when it comes to softcore performance. She puts her flawless, slender figure through the paces like no one else can. As for Judy, if you like fake breasts (no way these are real) that are too big, she's your gal. There seems to be a story, but I forgot what it was. No matter. I don't watch these movies to be told a story. Watch it to see Kim, in the Unrated version, of course.

My overall rating of seven stars is for this as a softcore movie. Not comparing it to Citizen Kane.
