Movie Reviews of Two Moon Junction
Movie Review: If Truman Capote wrote softcore skin flicks
Summary: 5 Stars
...quick, think of as many Southern (by this I mean American Deep South) stereotypes as you can. Now imagine a series of down-side-of-their-career actors (and I'm talking Oscar winners, here...Louise Fletcher, Burl Ives) supporting then-unknowns Sherilyn Fenn and Richard Tyson whose main selling points are that they look absolutely smoking hot wearing nothing at all with the proper lighting and a hint of vaseline on the camera lens.
With that in mind, I shamelessly offer this, the only softcore movie that I think enough of to actually own. It's basically a trashy romance novel come to life...the plot is as predictable as anyone could ever expect, and character development is...well, there IS a reason for nudity in a film like this, after all. The love scenes are of course scorching hot and terrifically filmed (Zalman King could be considered the Francis Ford Coppola of this genre, after all), and Richard Tyson is so completely over-the-top as a carnival worker with a SERIOUS Jim Morrison complex that it is hard not to be entertained. Kristy McNicol provides a mild diversion (as well as fashion tips involving rouge and angora sweaters that should be helpful to SOMEONE), the aforementioned Ives and Fletcher are suitably (if not unintentionally comically) menacing, and just when you think things couldn't possibly get any stranger there's Herve Villechaize as a cheapskate traveling carnival owner and all of a sudden we're watching MTV's "The Surreal Life", except the nude scenes aren't blurred out this time.
"Two Moon Junction" is campy, trashy, perhaps even exploitative, but it is also quite accomplished within its genre. You're probably not watching this with the hope of experiencing master thespianism (that's THESPianism) anyway, so sit back, unplug your brain for an hour and a half, and take it all in. And don't worry about watching this as a "date movie", either...I have yet to meet a woman who hasn't seen this movie and who doesn't like it at least as much as I do. That alone should be sufficient recommendation for you to check it out.
Summary of Two Moon Junction
Two weeks before her marriage, a well-bred Southern belle gets an itch to take off with a carnival worker, but her rich grandmother and the local sheriff conspire to halt the union.This camp spectacle stars Sherilyn Fenn (Boxing Helena) as an upper-crust Southern belle who abandons the posh life for sex on the road with a carny worker. Naturally, the older folk (Burl Ives, Louise Fletcher) take exception. Typically silly, soft-porn stuff from director Zalman King (Wild Orchid), this erotic joke of a movie is good for putting one's busy brain on hold for awhile. Colorful support from Kristy McNichol as a cowgirl, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the late Hervé Villechaiz (Fantasy Island). --Tom Keogh
