Friend of the Family

The director Holzman reveals he is a child of the 60's where "Make love not war" was a catchphrase. The overall theme of this film is that tensions between warring parties can be solved by getting some action. With this in mind and an impressive cast, this film caught our attention at the Eye Candy Hall of Fame. First of all it stars Griffin Drew (2nd team All-Century). Other actors of interest are Shauna O'Brien (as Elke--the friend) and Lisa Boyle. As a public service announcement, Ms. Boyle's scenes are quite tame and there are better films out there to display her true abilities. We don't know if this was intentional or not because she plays a teenage girl and the producers may have feared it would be bordering on kiddie porn. All we can say is that no girls at our high schools came close to being as mature as Ms. Boyle's stature. The good part is that Ms. Drew and Ms. O'Brien make up for this omission and beyond (the hot tub scene).

A friend of the family named Elkie moves in to a family's house, to help them sort their troubles. And what help she provides. She seduces mom, dad, daughter, even son. Film has only two good things to offer: plenty of sex and plenty of nudity. But hey, that isn't so bad. Worth watching for the scenery, not the dialogue ( except some moaning sounds ). 5 out of 10.

This is one of my favorite films. This one has Griffin Drew, Lisa Boyle, and Cassandra Leigh. Leigh comes to town and starts seducing every single family member. My Favorite scene is the one with Griffin Drew and Cassandra Leigh. This is true erotique.

One of the better examples of soft-core in the 90's. Yes the acting wasn't the greatest, but the plot was at least decent. The nude/sex scenes were good, particularly the bathtub scene. But there was some exhibition of my pet peeve. Congratulations to Shauna O'Brien and Raelyn Saalman for forgoing, and shame on Griffin Drew and Lisa Boyle/Cassandra Leigh for indulging in mass quantities of silicone. Why does anyone think that huge mounds of gel are more attractive than a woman's natural breasts? Gals, ... They're not! This is why 70's soft-core films are usually so much better than modern ones. The silicone show is distracting and ugly. As for FOTF, It's worth a look. Grade: B-

Let's be honest, one does not watch a movie such as this for the intellectual kind of stimulation. It is softcore porn, and is closer to that genre than film. As such, the acting is near always amateurish and unrealistic; story line ridiculous if even existent; and most importantly, its structure is segregated into sex scenes with filler space between them to fake a movie format. A good softcore movie has many great sex scenes, and somewhat entertaining if imbecile filler space. "Friend of the Family" has many good sex scenes, and filler space that is as kind hearted as it is hilariously absurd. This adds up well, recommended! (do make sure to get the unrated version, even god knows that softcores have multiple edits.)
