Storyline

Nina, a successful but world-weary art dealer, is surprised to find that her usual masseur, Douglas, has sent a substitute - Fitch - to provide her with her regular weekly massage at her home. Nina and Fitch find that they are both mutually attracted, and annoy one another a great deal. Their differences of temperament and lifestyle create friction, and they find their similarities nearly as grating. Through flashbacks we learn how Nina and Fitch have arrived at this meeting, and see that perhaps they have enough common ground to learn some important lessons from each other.

Strange Movie

I found this movie very strange. It certainly has appeal with the gorgeous Mimi Rogers showing every inch of body off, but the story get very confused. Rogers has a regular weekly appointment for a Massage in her home. One day she is surprised to learn that her regular Masseuse, Dennis has sent a replacement. The replacement, Brian Brown, proceeds to give Miss Rogers her massage and throughout the movie the two engage in some verbal sparing, finding that there is a connection but that there is also a strange friction between them. Mimi Rogers is gorgeous so if you are a fan of hers, you are certainly going to like this movie. If you are into the kind of movie that has some deep dialog, you will also probably like this movie. If your looking for a great story, this movie will disappoint you. I think this movie could have been perhaps a great movie if they concentrated on the relationship between these two opposites following the oft used opposites attract theme. I do recommend this movie simply because Mimi Rogers is too gorgeous to ignore.
