A foreign film depicting erotic delights on the Spanish Riviera, Sex Resort merits only mediocre marks for several reasons.
For one, the sex just isn't all that hot. True, Ingrid Fine is an eyeful and puts on a performance worthy of her star status in Europe. But many of the scenes are too drawn out and back off before getting remotely torrid. In other words, the cream hardly rises to the top.
Furthermore, the film is in French and in order to get around the language barrier, a narrator is used who sounds like the equivalent of a female Howard Cosell. "See Max get hard. Ingrid gets wet." It all adds up to a play-by-play that's far more comical than its lustful intention. Considering there's no storyline to speak of anyway, they could have scrapped the narrator and not lost a thing.
Technically, the film is like the sex —acceptable but hardly great. The endless Spanish guitar music will also probably leave you longing for an American-made product. Foreign-film buffs can certainly find better viewing than this.
