Castle Erotica: Review

starstarstarstar
It's no surprise that this tale of vacationing Italian-American cousins playing man-trap against the backdrop of famous Roman tourist attractions plays like a men's magazine fantasy — it was produced by Playboy Entertainment. Gabriella (Amber Karney) and Julia (Holly Sampson) are traipsing through Italy with vague dreams of locating old-country relatives. Perpetually horny and totally irresponsible, Gabriella brings a Roman Romeo to her pensione only to have him steal all their money. The now-penniless travelers have the good fortune to run into jack-of-all-trades Mario (Alex Ferro) at a palatial hotel called Castle Erotica and owned by Isabella (Catalina Larranaga); the castle was built several hundred years ago by Prince Federico for his gypsy lover, Rosanna, who was deemed an unworthy marriage prospect by the Prince's parents. Though Federico died in battle, legend has it that his passion for Rosanna lives on at the palazzo and inspires amorous patrons. Before hiring the stranded cousins as maids, Isabel makes it clear that there's one inviolable rule of the house: No sex with paying customers. The condition is no problem for Gabriella, who's eager to play Lady Chatterley with Mario, the groundskeeper. But Julia falls for Michael Washington (Sebastien Guy), a nerdy millionaire looking for a bride. Julia and Annabel discover that Isabel has a scale model of the castle, complete with cardboard figures of the guests and staff, and that manipulating the cut-outs can make their flesh-and-blood counterparts fall in love. While Isabel takes a trip, Gabriella goes wild, even casting a spell involving a threesome. Monogamous Julia keeps pines for Mr. Washington — the big question mark is Isabel's reaction when she finds out how the mice have been cavorting in her absence. The level of acting never rises above an ability to fake multiple orgasms, though it's unlikely anything else was demanded of the attractive cast; the poorly executed period flashbacks and Gabriella’s incessant sexual prattling sabotage this soft-core enterprise. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
