This capsule review was written in 1992, when this film was a new release on home video, and published in a Canadian daily newspaper. And yes, I deliberately ripped off Joe Bob Briggs in my 'final score' paragraphs back then.
THE PAMELA PRINCIPLE (Unrated) - Imperial Entertainment Video: So far this year, Alexander Gregory Hippolyte's Axis Films banner has released six of these softcore raunchfests, including this one, directed by porn auteur Paul Thomas, in which a guy facing a midlife crisis learns he's got everything he needs right at home AFTER he meets, beds, and moves in with a 20-year-old bisexual nympho.
The final score: Zero body count, unless you count the 16 naked ones; 16 popped tops; seven super-supremely naughty bits; Troy Donahue drops by to play a guy named Troy; and Frank Pesce, subject of the recent studio comedy 29th Street, disgraces his craft by playing the seedy club owner.
