Friend of the Family (1995)

Griffin Drew & Lisa Boyle - post silicone. Raelyn Saalman and Shauna O'Brien pre-silicone.Griffin and Shauna look fabulous and they share a tender scene together in the bathtub that looks so real. The lighting, the pace, and everything is just perfect. Griffin has a few early scenes including a fantasy scene and one with her husband. But she leaves part way thru the movie and Shauna takes over, shagging anything that moves - including the husband. The only one she doesn't seduce is Lisa Boyle's character. Instead they play dress-up. Lisa's scenes usually involve shady boyfriends and don't seem as hot as the other scenes.Shauna is amazingly hot in this movie and it's too bad she's since ruined her look with balloon implants. Oh well, at least we can remember her natural beauty with this movie.

Hi All, I first rented this movie from Video Ezy, Australia in 1998. The first time I played this - I loved it. I was and am not worried whether it was a B grade film or thought about the level of quality the movie provided. I initially rented it out as YES it had some soft porn content as envisaged when reading about the storyline and also it intrigued me.I watched it several times during the rental of the film, and then over time I taped it when it came through cable TV. I had this recorded for me as a surprise gift (that is how much I liked it) through my partner. Which obviously we watched together the first time round.I watched it again tonight (believe it or not) after a few years because I watched another movie of similar nature and I felt like watching it again.The things I liked about this movie was: firstly the hot and sultry actresses. Certainly gave off some steam! Such as Lisa Boyle as first interest and certainly Shauna O'Brien. They oozed sexual appeal. Griffin Drew was there as well but my focus / attention was mainly set on Lisa & Shauna. My observations and favourite parts of the film were: the sex scene between Montana (Lisa Boyle) and Billy (Begue Georges). He was the french male with the muscles near the beginning of the film. I thought this scene was raunchy....individual likings as I see it.Although,I thought Montana portrayed a promiscuous teenager - namely at the age of 27 (in real age). She learnt eventually through being taught some simple life values when growing up as an adult.Then secondly, not the bathtub scene so much although I like watching girl to girl scenes, but mostly the montage' which Josh did of Elke (Shauna) with the rendition of "Slave to Love" by Bryan Ferry. In their terms was titled "So Sexual" with the background music of Slave To Love. I wonder what turns me on about this scene, as I see it....It was definitely Shauna's beauty, her confidence oozed throughout the clip, and the white bikinis comforting her gorgeous tanned and well-looked after body. They looked good together. I thought it was sensational that piece in the film. I liked the way it was put together. I usually rewind it a few times when it comes to that scene. And did tonight. So they are the most favourite parts of the film I liked in a sensual sense.Overall, I also thought the talks between the Dad (Jeff) and Montana (Lisa B) were worthwhile and good to listen for valuable advice. It was how the actors portrayed the words in the scenes, which I thought were quite convincing. Lastly, of course, Elke was great with her wisdom, positive and objective advice she bought towards the family. The seduction and sex scenes with the family were an added bonus and were meant to send a message to the viewer in a more pragmatic light.I overall think that Elke (the title as I know it) is a good film to watch without too much to take in, easy to understand and easy on the eye. Not much of a plot but I suppose a "feel-good film" in an angelic sense. At the end, the story as it was written - achieved some positive results.Thanks for your time,

Edward Herman movie features a decent story line involving a disfunctional family caught up in the non-communication syndrome common to families where the husband has re-married to a younger woman who is rejected by the teenage daughter. A bit over played and under acted but saved by the sage advice (and liberal sexuality) of the "heroine", Elke played convincingly by the enticing Shauna O'Brien. Griffen Drew is delectable as Linda, the put-upon new wife, while Lisa Boyle is her usual vixen-like self as the rejecting daughter.The sex scenes are tasteful and erotic but lack emotion and passion, as is so often the case in this genre of soft core films. Still the morale fiber is kind of unique and the ending holds a bit of interest as everything comes together and the future looks considerably brighter for all concerned.

The director Holzman reveals he is a child of the 60's where "Make love not war" was a catchphrase. The overall theme of this film is that tensions between warring parties can be solved by getting some action. With this in mind and an impressive cast, this film caught our attention at the Eye Candy Hall of Fame. First of all it stars Griffin Drew (2nd team All-Century). Other actors of interest are Shauna O'Brien (as Elke--the friend) and Lisa Boyle. As a public service announcement, Ms. Boyle's scenes are quite tame and there are better films out there to display her true abilities. We don't know if this was intentional or not because she plays a teenage girl and the producers may have feared it would be bordering on kiddie porn. All we can say is that no girls at our high schools came close to being as mature as Ms. Boyle's stature. The good part is that Ms. Drew and Ms. O'Brien make up for this omission and beyond (the hot tub scene).
