Storyline

April has just graduated from an exclusive Southern college. She's just returned home to her family mansion to prepare for her semi-arranged marriage to "the right man", a man approved by April's father, a Senator. During a trip to the local fair, April meets Perry, the kind of man she always wanted but never knew. Her parents are aghast, as Perry is exactly the kind of man they don't want her associating with. April must reconcile the expectations of her family and her fiancée with the passion she feels for Perry.

User Reviews

Sexy, erotic movie for women viewers!

I saw this film in a movie theater when it first was released. A man in the movie theater I was in yelled out "what's the point?" during the movie. The point of this movie is to provide visual and aural candy for the eyes and the ears. TMJ has two very attractive and sexy leads in Sherilyn Fenn and Richard Tyson, and the soundtrack nicely compliments the action. No, it's not Shakespeare, but it's fun.

Zalman King loves to show beautiful women in his movies, without worrying too much about a plot or dialogue that makes sense. All my women friends that have seen this movie love it, because we as women all love looking at hunky Richard Tyson. Enough said.

Another erotic movie to check out is "Delta of Venus", also by Zalman King. It does actually have a plot along with lots of sex. Anais Ninn (the author of "Delta of Venus") would be proud of Mr. King's effort on this one.

This is one I have viewed many times, because it is such a great fantasy and a kick. Kristy MacNicol and the rest of the supporting cast is great too. I think this film will appeal more to women than to men. Just don't take it too seriously...
