Awakened from a curse after 400 years, Sleeping Beauty (Sarah Hunter) marvels at the wonders of the new century. She falls in love with a famous architect who is working to restore the castle she once lived in, but finds there are enemies plotting against her. Giving in to her long pent-up sexual desires, Beauty cannot resist the lustful advances of both men and women and after 400 years, she's ready to explore everything and everyone!
Every year, before it ends, I try to watch every single movie that gets released during that year that I can, so that by the time it wraps up, I have a big long list of movies to rank from best to worst from over the course of the year..
I think I might have to revisit that policy.
I can excuse the fact that HBO has very barely veiled this softcore pornography as a narrative feature, I can excuse some of the worst acting I've ever seen on screen, I can even excuse the absolute ridiculousness of the whole thing, but I cannot excuse the laziness of Sleeping Beauties. I'm not saying its impossible to create a worthwhile movie that's primarily focussed on sex, but come on, this woman who's been in a magic-coma for 400 years has a tattoo on her shoulder of a logo that's been around for less than 50? I mean, what's some concealer cost? Like ten bucks? And you couldn't even be bothered? Jesus Christ.
You're way better off just watching actual porn, there'll at least be some genitals in that.
Final rating:½ - So bad it’s offensive. I may never fully recover.
