Nikki Fritz is the center of attention.....I give it a B-., 3 January 2003
Author: Smooth B from Somewhere In Illinois

I've seen this movie many times, and it's safe to say that it's of Nikki Fritz's better movies.

Nikki is Zanthe, a character very similar to Michelle von Flotow's character in "Dark Passion" or Mia's character in "Sinful Temptations". How similar? Zanthe is a bored housewife, married to a successful business-type guy; simply put, a one-dimensional character. However, Nikki's acting adds some depth to her character. It sure wasn't the script; the storylines were awful.

The movie starts out with Zanthe screwing her husband's brains out (a very nice scene). When they're finished, the husband says, "I thought I married this nice Midwestern girl, and it turns out she's a nympho." Zanthe replies, "What's wrong with that?" Yeah....what IS wrong with that, anyway?? A nice Midwestern girl that knows what to do in the sack....well, let's just say they're few and far between.

Zanthe's insatiable sexual appetite draws her to a brothel, where she begins working as a call girl while her husband is at work. As she starts getting regular customers, she happens upon a man who seems to have quite an attachment to her. They meet at the house frequently for sex, but it seems the guy is mistaking Zanthe doing her job for actual affection. In short, he's fallen in love with her. Zanthe does her best to say no, but the guy won't take no for an answer. This is the "obsession" part of the movie's title, I suppose.

The rest of the movie falls into place after this. Soon, Zanthe's husband finds out what she's been doing, and after the initial shock, the focus turns to stopping the man who's been tormenting her and won't leave her alone.

An OK film, with Nikki's sex scenes powering the movie. The story is fairly weak but capable of moving the story along.

Women: B+ (Nikki Fritz, Nikki Fritz and even more Nikki Fritz. It's the other women who lowered the grade here.)

Sex: B+ (The scenes were nice, and Nikki tossed her hair like a pro. However, it seems like she's the only one showing any enthusiasm in the sex scenes. Too bad.)

Story: F (The story was VERY weak. Why not just show Nikki with various guys in the brothel, at least that would have been more interesting.)

Overall: B- (The "F" in the Story category brings the overall grade down some. Nikki put on quite a show and singlehandedly saved this film.)
