[PW] Re: high school reunion movie comedy

[Bill Davis]

There was a movie, MUTUAL NEEDS (1997), which was produced by Playboy and 
sounds like it was softcore erotica at least.   The plot is a lot like what 
you described, but I doubt it would be shown on a bus.

One online blog described it thus:

                       ----------------------------

The movie starts out innocently enough--a man gets dumped by his girlfriend 
shortly before his 10th annual high school reunion. Obviously afraid of 
being the laughingstock of the event, he rushes out an hires a hooker to go 
to the reunion with him. In no time, the hooker, played effortlessly by 
Rochelle Swanson, makes her way through the party, introducing herself as 
the man's wife. It works like a charm! In fact, the guy lands a cushy 
$120,000-a-year job working for one of his former high school classmates. 
Now, Charlene wants payment. That's where the fun begins.

In a cross between "The Corporate Ladder" with a hint of "Scorned", 
Charlene makes life a living hell for this poor man, forging loan contracts 
and running up astronomically high credit bills. Soon enough, however, her 
past catches up with her.

The sex scenes in this movie were relatively short and seemed to be placed 
correctly, unlike some other movies of this genre where some of the sex 
scenes seem to have little to do with the plot.

It drags on in a few places, but not enough to say, "There's 90 minutes of 
my life I'll never get back." Richard Grieco, a familiar-sounding C-list 
actor, gets top billing in this movie. Gotta have that star power!!
