Forbidden

This movie is completely one-sided. The females in the movie are filmed from all angles--T, A, and crotch shots--with nothing left to the imagination. The males, however, are filmed from the back, leaving everything to one's imagination. This movie is great if your a man--a disappointment for women. The only thing forbidden in this movie is showing frontal male nudity.

This film, Forbidden is highly erotic from the very beginning with naked women galore at the bachelor party and all the way to the twisted ending. This story is about forbidden sex which turns into love. Jason had sex with and fell in love with a woman named Nikki (Renee Rea) who he met at his own bachelor party. Despite several years pasting, his memory of Nikki and the time that they shared briefly remained in his fantasies even while he had sex with his own wife. Unable to shake his memories Jason accepts his life with his wife but continues to fantasize about his chance encounter with Nikki.Several years later, Jason's best friend Andy invites Jason and Lisa (Tracy Ryan) to a mini vacation at his family vacation home. To Jason's surprise Andy's fiancee turns out to be the woman that Jason can't seem to get out of his mind; the same woman he had sex with on the night of his bachelor party.Jason continues to struggle with his desire to make love to Nikki (who is now going by the name Monique) despite him now being married and she engaged to his best friend. Throughout the movie several forbidden secrets are revealed. (Jason is not the only one who has a secret affair)). Jason finds himself in a dilemma. Does he stay with his wife or does he take a chance on love and start a life with Nikki?This film is a soft porn movie (This movie is a true T and A movie). The acting in the film is okay. The film receives it's high marks for the NUMEROUS sex scenes throughout the movie. This movie is geared more towards men, primarily due to the vast amount of nudity of females throughout the movie. However, I did find this movie extremely erotic and easy on the eyes.If your looking for a soft porn movie with lots of T and A along with an interesting yet predictable plot, than this might be the film for you. But if your looking for a little more depth in terms of story line, and overall acting skills, than this might not be the movie for you.

Four stars out of five.

The basic premise as explained by other reviewers was made believable in the movie. The actors made the brother/sister connection work. Unfortunately it takes up to scene 13 before any good sex enters the movie. From there on the story is much more interesting, especially the kitchen scene; and her action when she realizes their parents know what's been going on.

Not much for plot and storyline here. This movie was great, if you like to watch T & A. Believe me, there were alot of it. At his bachelor party, Jason has a one-night stand with Nikki(Renee Rea) who he forms a bond with immediately but can't continue because he's due to marry. Fast forward to 3 years later, Jason and his wife Lisa (Tracy Ryan) and Andy and his fiancee Monique/Nikki plan a reunion weekend together. Jason is surprised to discover that Andy's fiancee is none other then Nikki/Monique. You can probably guess the rest. Very good with alot of T & A action.

Forbidden is another of the seemingly inexhaustible and growing supply of softcore flicks. So what's Forbidden about? Anybody that rents this kind of movie for the plot is going to be sorely disappointed but still, it has a plot, so I will describe it. The story centers around four people, Andy, Jason, Lisa and Monique. A couple days before Andy's impending marriage to Lisa, Andy's best friend, Jason, throws a bachelor party for him in a local hotel room with his buddies and a couple strippers. Andy can't seem to get into the swing of things so he goes outside and sits at a table by the pool and orders a drink and starts up a conversation with an attractive tall slender girl named Nikki (Renee Rea). Andy left the bachelor party because he intended to remain faithful to his fiancee Lisa (Tracy Ryan) but he gravitates to Nikki and though both their intentions seem to be honorable, they inevitably end up in bed for a memorable night. They both agree this was a one time fling, expecting to go on with their lives, never to see each other again. Unfortunately, Nicki really got under Andy's skin and he still thinks about her, even three years later when his friend Jason invites Andy and his now wife Lisa, to his family's vacation house for a long weekend and to meet his fianc`ee. Now Andy is the consummate player, who swore never to marry, so both Andy and Lisa are anxious to meet the woman who captured this confirmed bachelor`s heart.

Andy and Lisa arrive first and one thing leads to another and Andy starts shagging Lisa on the Billiard table. When Jason and Monique arrive, while Andy and Lisa are flagrante delicto, they make a mad dash to retrieve their clothes and dignity. After the embarrassed couple get dressed Jason introduces his fianc`ee Monique who to Andy's surprise it's his dream girl Nikki (Nikki is short for Monique). Unbeknown to Andy, Jason and Lisa have a past and unbeknown to Lisa, Andy and Nikki also have a past and what evolves is an almost comedic situation of musical partners and an anticlimactic climax.

Conclusion

Obviously with softcore movies, one has to use a different yardstick to review and rate them. The unstated but ultimate purpose of softcore movies is not so much to entertain but to stimulate the viewers, while entertaining them. If you do not believe this, I admire your naivety. With that in mind, I take this criterion into my reviews of softcore films. While sex scenes are supposed to be erotic in nature some succeed more than others. Of the ten or so sex scenes within the film, a single shower scene reached true eroticism for me. The other scenes while still "entertaining" seemed to be too choreographed and were, somewhat, devoid of emotion and even worse intensity.

Overall the flick had a relatively weak plot, an attractive cast who performed decently. The directing was acceptable, while cinematography was very good although it shot and edited in a straight forward manner..
