Botched soap opera
David Stanley likes to make personal, idiosyncratic movies, and this Mercedez vehicle for Vivid Video certainly qualifies. Unfortunately, it's terrible.
I blame him for self-indulgence, but it's unclear why he did such a poor job. Simple story of Mercedez suffering from nightmares ever since hubby Evan Stone divorced her after catching her sleeping with another man (Kurt Lockwood) is strictly soap opera. But instead of a straightforward presentation, Stanley takes events and presents a series of flashbacks and badly-directed scenes that add pretentiousness but subtract any interest in his characters.
Top it off with endless, very loud library music that is not just distracting but literally drowns out the dialogue at times. Movie reaches its nadir in a segment where glamorous porn star Mercedez is washing her dishes and picks up her wedding ring from the sink, cuing a flashback of her humping random pickup Kurt in bed, then ordering him to leave after his cumshot, then thinking she's knocked him out after throwing something at him, but he's just faking unconsciousness.
Stone returns home just in time to catch them -and the marriage was finis. Back to reality, she accidentally drops her ring down the drain and it gets stuck in the garbage disposal. Chris Cannon shows up as the plumber and retrieves it all mangled (symbolism?) but the entire scene of him chatting with her is unintelligible -the music being so loud.
She tries to seduce Chris but he flees, and a little bit later they're in bed together, but he suffers from erectile dysfuntion, pleading that cliche: "This is the first time this ever happened".
There's plenty more groan-worthy scenes, the only redeeming feature being Cherokee as her mini-me (C is short) best friend, though her scenes include several annoying red herrings from writer Stanley (e.g., an opening sequence of Evan f*cking Cherokee -is it nightmare or real or both?).
And not to forget, the female-as-cuckold final segment where Evan shows up and believe it or night pleads to get back together with M even though he's remarried, but only if she watches him f*ck another woman (Holly Hollywood) is as cringe-worthy as it gets.
