Garlington has a somewhat meaty role as his wife who is despondent over not being more desirable to her worthless husband. One does feel embarrassed for the late, great Walsh. This impressive cast certainly has worked with better material. Adding to that problem is the fact that her character (not to mention most of the characters here) just isn't that compelling. Apparently, she wouldn't do this film until the nude scenes were cut. Also, people may feel cheated that Silverstone isn't showcased to sexier effect. There are so many fantasy sequences that viewers may feel challenged to keep track of when the film is actually showing "reality". This should have made for a more watchable experience, but it fails to be all that interesting, whether it follows the activities of the aimless youth or the weary older generation.

To be fair, Silverstone is perfectly adequate in her role, but the film's script goes nowhere slowly, its study of the male libido being neither enlightening (everybody knows how horny we men can be) nor all that interesting. But then she appeared in the abysmal Batman and Robin (as Batgirl) and pointless drivel like The Babysitter, an erotic thriller that is neither thrilling nor erotic (largely thanks to a no nudity clause in Silverstone's contract).
