Just your average day of being a lesbian.
I feel like I missed what everyone enjoys about this.
Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershawn I did like and I thought their romance was really well done. They had a lot of chemistry together. Shame they weren't that great at acting in this, or they were just given a poor script. I do feel a lot of focus was on a lot of sex scenes that played out for way too long between the pair. I just feel like this film didn't need them to be in as much detail as they were or actually needed them at all as this film really didn't need them and honestly kind of ruined it for me.
The plot is pretty simple regardless, and it mixes two genres in such a strange way. Going from a soft-core porno almost to suddenly a mafia thriller. All the characters are one-note and stay in their character types so they become pretty boring very quickly.
Overall this film is a bit of a mess as it tries to be a lot of things all at once and doesn't really know how to blend them. The dialogue is cheesy and stupid, there are some visually cool scenes, like blood swirling in water or paint, but for the most part, there really isn't much new and exciting about this.
2/10
