WATCH ME is a dull sex farrago with about as much plot as a grade school primer: See Dick fall for buxom Jane! See Jane masturbate! See everybody get off! Recommended only for the erotically challenged.
Although his artistic genius is blocked, hot-shot photographer Paul (Robert Medford) feels his inspiration unclogging when mystery woman Elise (Kelly Burns) moves in across the way. Stifled by his relationship with Samantha (Jennifer Burton), who chides Paul about commitment while sleeping with
his best buddy, apartment handyman Alex (Steven Sherwin), Paul reassures backers that his first solo exhibit will be ready in time. Elise handles her break-up with control-freak Armen (Alex Demire) by spying on Samantha and Alex at S&M play. Unzipping into action, Paul joins the onanistic daisy
chain while snapping telephoto candids of Elise--guaranteed to make him a big name in NY art circles. After he entices Elise into becoming an active photo model, Paul reaches an crossroads when he learns of Samantha's hypocritical cheating. Firing bedhopping Alex, Paul coaxes Elise away from her
window and into his boudoir. Critically acclaimed for his one-man show, Paul can enjoy intercourse with Elise and save his old reliable hand for changing f-stops.
Less a movie than a video manual about the ultimate in safe sex, WATCH ME avoids the first cardinal sin of Porn-Lite by throughly integrating the Kama Sutra into its central plot line. Voyeurs will applaud Paul's shutterbug shenanigans for allowing ample opportunities for full female frontal
nudity. Unfortunately, this skinflick trips into pitfall number two in the arousal genre: too much of a good thing is, well, too much. After viewing what seems like decades of male butts rising and falling atop babes like muscular bellows stoking fireplaces, the spectator's interest waxes, wanes,
and disappears. Even the chronically horny may end up searching in vain for a morsel of pithy dialogue or a surprising plot twist to sustain them. (Extreme profanity, extensive nudity.) leave a comment
