User Reviews

Why on Earth would Malcolm McDowell even have wanted to be in this!

This movie was really bad. Don't even compare this to the original "9 1/2 Weeks" wich was a great film. This movie was a joke. Poor, poor, poor Malcolm McDowell to go from "Clockwork Orange" (one of Kubrick's best) to this horrid movie. I know it pays the bills, but seriously this was bad. There was no plot not one that really could be followed. Another poor soul, Paul Mercurio to go from "Strictly Ballroom" to this how low he had to go I feel sorry for him. Basically if you want to watch a good movie that deals with sex watch the original "9 1/2 Weeks". Not this one. The ending was really dumb. I can't suggest this film. I can suggest both "9 1/2 Weeks" or if you want something really interesting watch "Henry & June" GREAT MOVIE!
