Virtual Girl

This film is about a programmer's life falling apart because of a virtual lover program.

In the opening scene we are already treated with a lengthy sex session in a fantasy room. I thought that this film was just a soft porn film, but the amazing thing is that there really is a plot. The plot is plausible and gripping, and it could really have been developed into a major film.

Many a times, the graphics of this film looks like a college graduate production. It is probably because of the low budget, but this explains why the film went straight to video.

90s erotic sci fi thriller that has a decent amount of fake 90s hooters on display, and an even more amount of crappy 90s CGI. Other than a blink and you'll miss it scene where a guy's head CG explodes, there's nothing much here and it's also really really dumb.

Caught this one on a trip to Florida in 2000 to see the Jets game. It was my first night on the trip, and I was beat so I headed back to the hotel from the bars around 1 AM. This was showing on whatever the heck station in Fort Lauderdale.

The plot is decent - you dont often get that in soft core stuff. The main characters are bearable to look at and listen to. Even Charlie Curtis showed some ability to act. It could've been done better perhaps. The computer-ish graphics, while part of the plot, serve to cheese up things a bit.

In summary, yeah I'd nail Virtuosity. Er, I mean decent, catch it if you can.

Almost like a horny female version of Pinocchio, the main (virtual) character of this movie, also wants to be a real girl. I am not familiar with all Pinocchio material, so there may be some fan fiction or something that goes in a similar direction. But let's move away from that and concentrate on the movie at hand.

The movie and the characters are self aware. The main character especially has to be convinced to get it on with the titular Virtual Girl (no pun intended). Of course it is all only on the surface. Do not expect there to be too many obstacles. There is a fair amount of nudity, though I doubt you will get what you look for - if that is what you are looking for. You decide - if you are a bit of a prude - you best get off ... the page that is (sorry for the pun, but I am curious how you even got here).

Anyway there is something almost cute about the whole thing -and sinister too. It may have a surprise for you too. Especially when it comes to the ending ... (no happy ending jokes ... not from me at least, feel free to add some of your own)

Although he would much prefer working on another project, a computer programmer named "John Lewis" (Matt Dixon) is assigned the task of debugging a virtual sex program known as "Virtual Girl" instead. So, with very little choice in the matter, he connects to the program's interface and finds himself in a room with a sexy computerized woman by the name of "Virtuality" (Charlie Curtis) who can essentially change her environment with just a thought. Yet as seductive as she is, John cannot quite bring himself to forget that he has an equally beautiful wife at home named "Karen Lewis" (Miche Straube) who he loves very much--and his reluctance to fully engage with Virtuality doesn't go unnoticed by her. But what he also doesn't know is that apparently Virtuality is capable of jealousy and that her powers extend beyond her own world. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this science-fiction film turned out to be a little better than I anticipated due in large part to the interesting plot, the attractive actresses just mentioned and the nice twist at the very end. That being said, I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
