Linda is having problems with her new family. Her husband Jeff and his two teenagers are making life hell, and she turns to drink and worries about Jeff having an affair. One day Elke, an old friend's sister, appears at the door and moves in for a time. She proves to be intuitive about the family's needs and acts as a sexual catalyst for getting the family out of their relational problems. Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>
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.)
