Every time a compulsive middle-aged (male) romantic meets up with a flirtatious young hedonist, you just know that he's walking into a situation with the words, "hit me" stenciled on their jaw.

It happens once again in Seduce Me: Pamela Principle 2, a film which should be required viewing for any man who thinks that a woman 25 years-his-junior will look at him with moon-struck calf eyes and see Fabio.

Nick Rafter, a dead-on genetic descendant of Basil Rathbone and Hans Conreid, plays a burned-out architectural photographer named Charles who gets the proverbial new lease on life when his buddy (Frank Pesce), a glamor photographer, asks him to mind his studio for a month. Rafter minds more than the studio, delving into nude camera art with the zeal of a raging Brownie in a ladies' bath house. "Liberated," I think is the word used often to describe Rafter/Charles when he starts making a complete idiot out of himself during his spiritual renaissance.

When a New Age woman named Pamela (Alina Thompson) walks into his life, common sense walks out of Rafter's, and he begins an affair prompted by some nude photographs- Not that his 5-year marriage to India Allen (what's next, Heather Locklear playing Jessica Tandy roles?) is any great shakes in the Red Shoe Diaries department. (Someone might casually inform Rafter that you have to take your pants off, or at least unzip your zipper before attempting some rapacious doggie sex). Allen plays a willful and preoccupied, career-oriented, hard balls business woman with just enough disturbing balance to solicit sympathy for Rafter. And, of course, India gets her turn at bat in the infidelity line up thanks to a nude Jacuzziparty.

Meanwhile India's friend Jill (Elizabeth Sandifer) serves as a kind of mediator/arbiter/referee/Yoda throughout the course of Rafter's middle age-crazy fling.

Similar in theme to the original film, Pamela Principle 2 is definitely not a sequel but it is an excellent ensemble piece and a well-defined humandrama. Plus it serves its ulterior purposes by wheeling out the nudity with the frequency of freckles at a melanoma convention.

Look for this film to be a strong contender for Best Alternative Feature Film honors this year.
