good back-story, and good acting
Tymon Sutton
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Silicon Valley is the home of many high tech firms. This film came from Silicon Mountains. Don't these girls know when too much looks artificial? They are beautiful, but too much silicone is distracting. If Steve had been a lawyer his actions would be acceptable. But accountants seem unimaginative so his wife needed to take command. Accountants are not supposed to be creative. Good Steve was mentally straight even thought he bought into the wife's pushing under duress. The unreal ending had me puzzled. What type of business is he being asked to run? How much will it pay? Why is he on a vacation when he should be starting work. Is Steve really an incompetent at work but great as a husband?

Porn is good. Porn is fun. Porn is not meant to be a serious film. However, these filmmakers obviously thought this was the little porn that could. One day, some hardcore screenwriter looked at his script and said, "this could be a real movie". And then it was, and things got very, very ugly. Flaws include casting (Suzette Andrea as Denise is utterly unconvincing as someone that could lure a husband from his sexy wife; Michele Perry looks way to old for her husband) and hair and makeup (again, Suzette Andrea has some ridiculous hairstyles). Chief flaw, however, is dialogue. When Denise compares love to a rose to Susan at first one is induced to wonder if she's being sarcastic; when the realization comes that Denise is actually trying to have a serious heart to heart with Susan it is obvious once again that yes, you are watching a glorified porno.

Once again, Jay Madison mixes up an equal mix of horrible acting and women for another "magnum opus", Illicit Lovers.In a review of Intimate Nights, I forgot to mention that before the film starts, we see scenes from the movie being shown, much like how a T.V. show recaps scenes from a past or future episode. Same thing in this one, too, so you'll have a chance to take a look at the medical disasters that make up the female cast.In a nutshell, the story is about a man who loses his job and his wife decides to rent him out as an escort to her friends and later others. He reluctantly does this while his wife shows her greediness in the money made by prostituting him out. After awhile, she has a change of heart and fortunately for her, the husband is very forgiving and all is well.Although the film has morals and that's something unique in this genre, the film fails in every other category.The women - Michelle Perry is a frighteningly hideous woman. How anyone could think this mutant freak is sexy is shocking. A bad mixture of plastic surgery and bad tanning have disfigured her. Just check out the opening scene where she takes off her bathing suit for Steve Curtis. You won't be turned on, you'll be repulsed. And she looks to be 40 in the film; it's like she and Curtis' character are a May-December couple. The other ladies (including Gabriella Hall) are a bit better, but aren't these films supposed to have more attractive women than the hardcore films.The acting - Perry actually does a decent job, but Steve Curtis is brutal. The males actually seem to do a better job than the females in this category, but not here. Curtis' delivers an annoying, corny, wimpy performance. You'd think he'd be more at home on an episode of "Queer As Folk". Also, the lady at the employment offices is brutal; why the film makers decided someone with a snarky, rude, hate-the-world attitude was a good idea was beyond me? A woman like that would be fired in the real world. Then again, this film was probably set in a Bizarro World version of California...The logic - Like Intimate Nights, some things make absolutely no sense. Why did Curtis' character get fired from his job? The film doesn't even explain it. Was he constantly late? Was he taking longer lunch beaks? Was the son of the boss taking over his post? Did he piss off management? Was he using his bosses' Internet account to view naughty pictures? Why? Obviously, he did something really bad without knowing it, as the boss wanted him out of the office immediately and even hired a thuggish, stereotypical moving man to clear the office for him. The film didn't even explain it. Why couldn't he find another job? It was 1999, wasn't there a boom in the dot-com business? The film just treats his attempts to find another office job as a joke. There wasn't another job like his in L.A., or was this just another reason to explain that this must be a Bizarro World version of L.A.? I suppose Curtis' character was a devout Catholic, which was why he was faithful to his wife, despite her greed and other vices, too. Or perhaps she wore the pants in the household, despite doing nothing but lazing in the sun while he pulled in the paycheques. Just the same stupid logic.All in all, I don't recommend this film. It has nothing to offer. There's better and you know where to find them.

Michelle Perry....now there's a name I have to remember. Not only is she beautiful, but she's a healthy girl. Not fat, but just the right amount in all the right places. Now she's got some meat on her bones!Okay, now what was I talking about? Oh yeah, the movie.When a woman's husband (woman played by Michelle Perry) loses his job, his brainstorming wife comes up with an outlandish scheme...."How about I rent you out to my friends for cash?"That's right. She makes her hubby become a gigolo.And she names the business "Rent My Husband, Please." Yep.Now, this is the type of gigolo I'd like to be, if I ever became one! Not the ones who wine and dine the middle-aged spinsters, but the ones who get to sleep with the most beautiful women you've ever laid your eyes on. There's this one girl in there who has a great body and an Australian accent! Wow!Even though many men would kill to be in his position, the poor guy can't keep up. He wants his old office job back. That's when I lost faith in the movie. But who can blame him....his wife becomes a slavedriver, not caring about how he feels. He's just a piece of meat, but to me....that's okay, as long as he still gets to have sex with the hot women.Alas, it doesn't work out the way I wanted it to (i.e. guy leaving wife to become a gigolo full-time...on his own) but at least it was fun while it lasted. Take a good look at it the next time it's on Cinemax.
