In the past year and a half Henri Pachard has churned out feature films the way other directors grind out videos: fast. Much of this output, from a lesser talent, would hardly be worth watching. Fortunately, Pachard’s style and wit give even his most humdrum efforts a certain spark, but
there’s no denying that assembly line filmmaking takes its toll on creativity. With She’s So Fine, however, Pachard-in top form has come up with a biting, funny, sexy film, his finest since 1984’s Great Sexpectations.
The “she” of the title is Taija Rae, who’s supposed to be marrying a fellow named Whitney. While futilely waiting for the groom to show up, Rae experiences one of the most bizarre days of her life. Guests, expected and unexpected, arrive and fuck their heads off. First is an old flame (Joey Silvera) whose brain-thanks to drugs-has been on hold for five years. For old times’ sake, Rae takes him upstairs and screws him. Then rock musician Paul Thomas (wearing a wig that would give Twisted Sister’s Dee Snyder shit fits of envy) turns up with his backup singers (Melanie Scott and punked-out Sharon Mitchell) and proceeds to get it on with Rae’s mother (Gloria Leonard). Next-door neighbors Jerry Butler and Sharon Kane and friends Rachel Ashley and Johnny Nineteen represent the more conservative, though equally horny, element in Rae’s circle of friends.
The sex is fairly conventional – no anals, double penetrations or orgies-but there’s no lack of heat, especially when Mitchell fucks Butler and eats out Kane. And Ashley getting dorked by Nineteen (who’s wearing a clerical collar) is a sight to behold. In addition to its superb script and top-notch direction. She’s So Fine is particularly enjoyable because of the performers’ involvement in their roles. The characters they create are so strong that we want to see them fuck. And we want to know what happens next.
This flick’s major weakness is its wimpy title. Got the picture? She’s So Fine is terrific fun.
