Watch One Night Only For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This is another '80s sex comedy, from Canada this time, where apparently social mores are a trifle looser. A major plot point features the main character getting together with her one true love... her cousin. That's about the only memorable detail, apart from the main actress's performance, which is endearingly plucky, making her the sexiest of the movie's many ladies, and surprisingly, she does show some skin. Usually the actual "characters" in these movies keep it all on while the movie works as a revolving door for strippers/nude models/porn starlets to come in front of the camera, bare it all (or some) and then disappear. I was glad to see some T 'n A from the only character in the movie you care anything about, the connection you get with her makes it much more erotic.Anyway, the plot is something about a plucky young lady hosting a party for a hockey team with a bunch of hookers to raise money for... something. I forget. The movie fails at showing a convincing party, and is really just a sequence of unbelievably bad jokes and flashes of nudity. It all feels disjointed, you never get a sense of place or scene, and it's pretty hard to sit through.For another '80s boob comedy that does a far better job of showing a party you can actually believe and might like to go to, see "The Beach Girls".

This little straight-to-cable flick isn't The Godfather and it's not trying to be. But the combination of entry-level acting, burlesque humor, by-the-numbers 1980's pop music, too many topless lovelies to count, and a plot so implausible that it practically spits in the face of suspension-of-disbelief make this a delightfully cheesy piece of teenage-boy entertainment. The phrase "so bad it's good" doesn't even apply to this, because "bad" doesn't apply to it - it's pure escapist entertainment, and for my money, that's the best type. I saw this for the first time when I was 11 or 12 and in the habit of sneaking into my parents' den to watch Showtime Late Night on weekends (boys will be boys, right?) and this is one that always stuck in my memory. Finding a rental copy in college was a sublime moment and preserving it in digital is going to keep me young for another hundred years. Intellectual decompression at its finest.

This Canadian-made 80's sex farce is about a young college girl named Annie McGraw (Lenore Zann), who looks like an unrefined Nomi Malone. She works at a restaurant where she overhears famous hockey players talk about their annual New Year's Bash. They usually pay some shady guy named Wenko $50,000 to stage it, but Annie convinces some friends to help sway the hockey team to let them stage the party so they can gain the 50 grand (or bills) as it's referred to, while Wenko tries to infiltrate the party and make it a failure. So we get all the attributes of the 80's (I won't go through the list again, see my other 80's movie reviews) sex film. Some different things: One of the characters, Johnny-O is a straightlaced about partying as Michael Ontkean's character in Slap Shot was about fighting, a man gets his privates attacked by a live lobster, and the guys are watching a scene from the classic Quebecois-made "Scandale". Once again, this was how Polly Ann Costello, who later became known as Nomi Malone, went by the name of Annie McGraw to start her career in the adult entertainment business.

This is one of the most enjoyable erotic comedies ever made, while not exactly subtle this really tickles the funnybone...oh and the ladies are gorgeous, not least Judy Foster starring as upperclass snobbish girl. Best line: Elisabeth: Do you want me to swallow a goldfish? The girls: Think bigger....and harder!The wacky storyline revolves around a group of lady students making a buck on hijacking the sexparty for the city's hockyteam, meanwhile the American nephew of one of the girls turns up, with his born-again christian policeman father hot on the heels and a pimp mad about having his job hijacked. Everybody ends up in bed with everyone, lots of "Porky's" style humor. Great score and cast, this is a sadly overlooked gem that I have seen many times. 9/10
