I Like to Play Games

I rented this movie after having seen it several years ago on TV. Lisa Boyle is one of the sexiest women I have ever watched. She plays out an erotic scene with both taste and passion. The scenes are photographed to their best effect and this movie qualifies as an erotic classic.

I'm a big Jennifer Burton fan, and she's in it in a big way (as always), but after seeing the film and thinking about it the next day, I wondered why I sat through the whole ordeal. I saw the French-dubbed, unrated version of "I Like To Play Games", so maybe if I saw it in English, I would have tuned out much quicker.

Lisa Boyle (a nice looking lady, but not a world-beater) and Ken Steadman (complete with a cheesy 1995 haircut) play Suzanne and Michael. Both of them work at some agency. Michael is a guy who obviously played games of dare with Jeff Wise and Angela from Mike Sedan's "Mischievous", but his are all sexually charged. The whole movie is about seeing these two soap-opera rejects ruin their lives just out of boredom. They play ludicrous games of "tease" (well Suzanne does). While it's fun to see the conceited Kung Fu-loving Michael made a fool of over and over again (one scene has him running in the streets naked after she runs away from his pad, complete with a view of his jewels for the ladies), it gets tedious once they start having real "philosophical discussions" and then everything...well let's just say it steals everything from "Mischievous".

All I can say is that even in French-dubbed voices, I couldn't stand either of these two primadonnas. I would have preferred if they settled their petty "love feud" with a duel and two .357 Magnums and gave us more of Miss Burton. Still, I couldn't stay away; I had to see who won this "feud", find out if you "dare".

This is probably Lisa Boyle's best movie. She shines in the screen with many steamy sex scenes... all the positions, all the attitudes, all the scenarios. What else could you ask for? This is quality soft core porn. The cinematography is really good for a movie like this. Also, the acting isn't that bad but it's the least thing you should care about.

Lisa has sex with the same guy for almost all the scenes but it doesn't matters because it's obvious that there is chemistry between them. Well, WHO wouldn't like to have chemistry with Lisa?! The S&M and everything is great in this movie. I'm glad I bought it. If you are a huge Lisa fan, then you understand the greatness of the movie. If you are about to become a fan of hers, then you are going to be really pleased. Totally recommended.

I'm not sure why some reviewers felt that this was not erotic, unless they were looking for something more hardcore. They don't show actual penetration here.

Lisa Boyle is Suzanne, a new co-worker who plays various role-playing games with Michael, the main character. For example, she pretends to be a naive schoolgirl having her first sexual experience as she removes her clothes. Many instances of Suzanne teasing Michael in public, but in such a way that only Michael realizes what's going on (eg. what happens under the table during a meeting).

As a bonus there is a bit of plot if you like psychological thrillers (ie. when is Suzanne playing a role and when is she really herself?), but the main attraction is Lisa Boyle herself. The movie as a whole is a real turn-on.

Suzanne Braunhill (Lisa Boyle) is a successful executive at an ad

firm who has just been transferred from New York to Los Angeles.

Even though her reputation as a witch (possible spelling error)

precedes her, Michael Morgan (Ken Steadman) who works at the

same firm in LA thinks he can play her games with her. He has

just split with his girlfriend Melody (Pamela Dickerson) who just

wasn't exciting enough for him. The game is on!

Suzanne's games put Michael in awkward situations that threaten

his career, but he persists in playing the games against the best

advice of his friend Nick Kelso (James DiZazzo), who seems to

have played before. How the last game is won may surprise the

viewers.

The movie, though negative and somewhat depressing at times,

is generally well done for one of its genre. Monique Noel

(Playboy's POM, May, 1989) plays a small part as a member of the

office team. She has some cute body language responses to

Michael's frenetic orders as he tries to meet deadlines.
