The First 9 1/2 Weeks

Despite the other comments, It was rather interesting these movies ( which I rented not seen on cable) about mind games that bored rich people play to amuse themselves like the one which had michael douglas as a rich guy that went thru crap to discover that his son was doing it for laughs or as a birthday gift ?? any way you think it is going one way and then find out that it is something completely totally different .. it was kind of poetic justice as far as the movie goes that Matt is now a partner and the boss is going down to New Orleans because the Dubois want to evaluate him while Matt gleefully sends him off while setting up at date for dinner with his wife....Not a real keeper but good for a evening entertainment I would say...Matt was definitely changed by this game for the better is left to be seen...

My cable provider is offering free HBO for a couple of weeks, so I watched when this came on. Its title was only picked to try and get you to see his movie. The dialog and acting are second-rate, but the surprise ending is a bit cute, I thought, and at least gave the movie some redeeming quality. Although, few 'normal' people can identify with the outcome.

Some scenes were shot in New Orleans, where I used to live, and that kept some interest for me. Maybe that's why I gave it such a high rating! :-)

Summary - probably not worth your time unless you're really, really bored!

i can simply say that i always liked this movie, and I was about twelve when i first saw it...but it was pretty good. i thought that the plot was rather suspenseful, and the twists and turns that eventually lead up to the end of the movie were quite fun and amusing. it was also pretty sexy.

This movie was really bad. Don't even compare this to the original "9 1/2 Weeks" wich was a great film. This movie was a joke. Poor, poor, poor Malcolm McDowell to go from "Clockwork Orange" (one of Kubrick's best) to this horrid movie. I know it pays the bills, but seriously this was bad. There was no plot not one that really could be followed. Another poor soul, Paul Mercurio to go from "Strictly Ballroom" to this how low he had to go I feel sorry for him. Basically if you want to watch a good movie that deals with sex watch the original "9 1/2 Weeks". Not this one. The ending was really dumb. I can't suggest this film. I can suggest both "9 1/2 Weeks" or if you want something really interesting watch "Henry & June" GREAT MOVIE!

I notice alot,older movies are low rated,but this is a high rating for me.
