The Key To Sex

Director John Quinn
Genres Drama
Run time 94 mins Certificate 18

4th January 2011

A variation on Risky Business, this soft-core sex-film has pretty White girls with insatiable sexual desirers. When the men are not poking the women they are playing mundane power-games and office politics with one another.

The sexual intercourse lacks lustful intensity and the women, in particular, are unable to project their femininity over and above the usual sexual stereotypes inherent in Playboy, in such a way as to overcome and compensate for the lack of explicitness. The humping lacks real passion as if underneath it all there is a puritan aesthetic to denature sex. Yet no-one here embarrasses themselves artistically in this fun and stylish time-passer with good, scripted characterization.
