Housewives From Another World (4½ Stars)

This is yet another film by Fred Olen Ray, one of my favorite directors. He's a very busy man. Apart from making films he owns a wrestling company called ACW and wrestles under the name Freddie Valentine. The fourth season of his vampire tv series, "The Lair", is currently being filmed. He's most famous for his 1988 film, "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers".

"Housewives from another world" is a soft porn comedy, like most of his films released on the Retromedia label (which he owns himself). It's a simple plot, but well written and performed. Aliens from another planet come to Earth to prevent the development of a new deep space probe that will discover them and endanger their race. They take over the bodies of women and discover the joys of sex.

When I read reviews of Fred Olen Ray's films people are always saying, "What's the point of soft porn? The sex isn't real." I personally don't see a problem. Soft porn is an art form which exists within its own parameters. Complaining about soft porn is the same as complaining that wrestling is fake. The wannabe critics just don't get it. Hmmm, maybe Fred's career combination isn't just a coincidence.....
