The Other Woman (1992)

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

...then one will be alright with it.Actually,having said that,I don't think I EVER deluded myself into thinking this was anything BUT an erotic thriller. I would say this show,if it were being judged for the "Erotic" quality alone,would register as an 8 or 9. Factor in the sparsity of true drama,the laughable action scenes and mind-numbing plot coincidences,and this show drops to a 4 or 5.A lovely,blue-eyed blonde news reporter(LeeAnne Beaman)'s quest to break a story on a shady local businessman is sidetracked by her trying to ferret out her husband's infidelity and sub-sequentially,the lovely dark-skinned beauty(Jenna Persaud,former Penthouse pet and not much of an actress) she suspects is the one he's cheating with. The story is almost comical,but as long as you stay in the vein of the soft-core story,it will slide off you the viewer like water off a duck's back.A decent late-night watch or rent,but nothing more.

The Other Woman (1992) is a soft core classic. The story is about a woman who has some skeletons in her sexual closet which is causing a strain on her marriage. She's repressed in more ways than one. Her male co-workers make off the wall comments about her and hubby doesn't seem to be interested in her anymore. That is until one day whilst coming across some of hubby's personnel items (he's on a business trip), she finds something that'll change her life forever.A great made-for-video flick. There's a hot scene between two ladies (tastefully done might I add)is worth the effort of finding this hidden gem. The storyline is actually interesting for a change and the acting is not that bad. Interracial fun and classy photography make this one a winner.Highly recommended.There are two versions of this film floating around. The mainstream video/cable t.v. version and the unrated video version. I have seen both versions and the unrated one is the best. Stay away from the R-rated version because it's missing a few minutes. For maximum enjoyment, watch the unrated version. You wont be sorry.

Lea-Ann Beaman is excellent as the prudish star caught up in a web of intrigue when she discovers evidence of her husbands infidelity whilst he is on a business trip. She goes to meet his mistress and becomes embroiled herself.A good example of its genre and Ms Beaman's tanlines are to die for!

Readers of Penthouse magazine will remember that Jenna Persaud, a dark beauty, brought a welcome splash of color to that magazine's pages in several layouts some years ago. Then she starred in this nifty and unpretentious little erotic thriller which showcases her potent sexiness as well as that of her co-star Lee Anne Beaman. This gem succeeds where many more recent flicks of this type have failed in that the director never forgets his fundamental mission. The scene where the two female leads get together is artfully shot and among the best of its kind in the genre.
