Making a T&A flick isn't hard, but the better ones show a certain level of skill involved to be memorable, effective. From a genre that has long since died off, 'Kissing A Dream' is a piece of the romantic cookie cutter melodrama bottom end that used to exist aimed at either desperate horny men or the couples market. It checks many cliche boxes and the story is a test pattern with your standard moments of nudity, simulated sex but much of it isn't hot.
Rebecca (Erin Lanza) runs an advertising company with her cheating husband Peter (Stephen Pace) who smashes anything attractive with two feet and a heartbeat. She knows he's a POS and finally gets the idea to have her own affair and responds to a personals ad in the newspaper. David (Simon Page) sweeps her off her feet, gives her the sexual attention that she's been longing for as it becomes apparent he's a bit unhinged.
Cheating husband, lonely wife, marketing firm, models, co-workers getting it on, wacko killer. There were so many cliches here I felt like I was stamping a bingo card. Lanza goes naked solo, but the majority comes from trysts. Model Tracy Dali is here as one of the company employees, countless ladies the husband nails before she moves onto another guy. I liked seeing her, but everything else sexually was a snore. Same 'ol that you can see in countless other titles, but not filmed particularly well and many of the women don't look comfortable.
'Kissing A Dream' is one of those flicks that only exists to get to the nudity and that's fine if the sex was any good. All it's characters are uninteresting and the killer subplot is barely developed including a rushed ending that is awful. Sometimes in this genre you get excellent sex, but a bum story. Other times you get a decent story and maybe a level of atmosphere. On a rare occasion you get the best of both worlds. This fails on every level and that's saying something.
