Comment:
This is quite a strange movie, it is not excessively erotic as the title suggests and sometimes it is surprisingly funny and entertaining. The striptease scenes aren't too hard and are very well made, I wouldn't recommend this movie to a child but probably even moralist people will not be too scandalized.

There are not particularly positive or negative points about the plot, it is really simple and sometimes predictable but it doesn't show any particular flaw.

There are a lot of amusing situations which are the strong point of the movie, without this irony the whole movie would have been much worse. The ending is probably a bit too funny and cartoon-like but it is far better than a plain ending which is common in this sort of 'light' movies.


Rating: 7.2  ***
