Ah yes..."Call Girl Wives." There was much to like about this movie--the laughable dialogue, the amount of sex involved, the ending letters the wives write their husbands....it was all here, the makings of a great softcore comedy, and I was entertained by the whole thing.
We begin with three housewives--Amanda (Amanda Auclair), Taimie (Taimie Hannum--I'm glad she's still around) and Ashley (Ashley Long). Their husbands go out on a hunting trip and leave them all alone. You sort of know where this is going before it actually happens, but play along. The girls are tired of their boring, ordinary lives and decide to do something about it. They do what any desperate housewife would do--become a high-priced call girl.
Taimie mentions a friend of hers who works as a "love broker." They go to see her, and to my surprise, the Madam is played by Brittany Andrews--yes, THAT Brittany Andrews. The Madam entices the girls with an offer of thousands of dollars and flowery language--most of it quite hilarious--followed by a "informational video" featuring Ashley Blue getting it on with a client. Within a few minutes, the three girls are convinced and start work immediately.
This is where the plot takes a back seat and the sex comes into focus. You can't miss it, because it's one sex scene after another. The three-way featuring the three wives was okay, but Ashley Long's performance later on was the scene of the film. Each "call girl wife" gets a one-on-one scene with a guy, and another girl-girl sequence with Ashley Long ends things. Ashley Long definitely was the scene stealer in this one--and her lovely British accent was a plus, of course.
In another funny scene, Taimie walks in on Julie the Understudy (Julie K. Smith) getting ready for work. When Julie realizes her services won't be needed, she figures she'll just take a dip in the pool. This scene was pure comedy, and was very close to something usually seen in a Jim Wynorski film.
The ending, consisting of each wife reading a "I'm leaving you" note to her husband, capped off the film in a humorous way. The best one, in my opinion, belonged to Ashley. She ends her note like this: "...In some circles, I'd be called a whore. But, I went to Vassar. How many whores go to Vassar? None, that's how many! Love, Ashley."
I consider this film tapeworthy. The comedy scenes just capped things off for me.
Women: A (Taimie, Amanda, and Ashley are the principals here, and they don't disappoint. I wouldn't mind seeing more of Ashley Long in some of these films. Then there's the cameos by Brittany Andrews and Ashley Blue. If Brittany Andrews is involved, I really can't go below an A.)
Sex: B+ (Ashley Long's boy-girl scene takes the cake, and the rest were pretty good, too. I would have liked to see Taimie's scene last a little longer.)
Story: B (Not much of a story here after the girls become call girls, but it does what it's supposed to do, and that's have some semblance of a logical ending. At just under 78 minutes, it was way too short to develop any sort of a storyline anyway. The blooper reel at the end was a nice touch.)
Overall: A- (The "fudge factor" allows this film to hang on in the A range, but just barely. I was impressed by Ashley Long's performance, and that was more than enough to warrant some extra credit points. Brittany Andrews in a softcore flick sort of did it, too.)
