Naturally, the older folk (Burl Ives, Louise Fletcher) take exception. Typically silly, soft-porn stuff from director Zalman King (Wild Orchid), this erotic joke of a movie is good for putting one's busy brain on hold for awhile. Colorful support from Kristy McNichol as a cowgirl, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the late Hervé Villechaiz (Fantasy Island). --Tom Keogh

(read more) Apart from a brief cameo by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, this bodice-ripper viz. southern gothic/soft-core porn meltdown has little to offer an audience beyond the vale of puberty. Sherilyn Flynn and Richard Tyson offer little more than eye candy, and Burl Ives (growling like Big Daddy but looking a tad more like Sam the Snowman) and Louise Fletcher (light years away from her portent as Nurse Ratched) have little room for positive impact. Zalman King's directing (and Mark Plummer's photography) is actually quite aesthetically pleasing (when, of course, the microphone and various shadows of crewmembers do now scrawl across the screen); the screenplay by King and MacGregor Douglas however, is an atrocious potpourri of uninformed southern stereotypes, inexplicably trashy dialogue, and pimpled voyeurism. Almost too wretched to be mocked, this film begs for more than one goose quill dipped in venom!
Crappy acting/plot/directing, but extremely steamy sex scenes. Sherilynn Finn is totally bewitching and Tyson has a crude, brutal sexuality that works in this film.

Sherilynn Finn is totally bewitching and Tyson has a crude, brutal sexuality that works in this film. Best part: When she rips his shirt completely off. Also, for some weird reason, seeing Kristy McNichol applying blush to her nipples has stuck with me....something you don't see every day.
Putting 2-bit actress Sherilyn Fenn in a movie with 2-bit actor Richard Tyson is about as productive as multiplying zeroes.

(read more) Putting 2-bit actress Sherilyn Fenn in a movie with 2-bit actor Richard Tyson is about as productive as multiplying zeroes. "Two Moon Junction" is a soft-porn boudoir thriller with the look of a perfume ad and a spaghetti-strap-thin wisp of a plot. There's no characterisation, little acting, lots of flesh, and some simulated sex. More like Two Moon Junk.
Richard Tyson could put his shoes under my bed anytime...I too have been a fan of this movie since i was in my 20's...
I got it just for Sherilyn, and there was more of her than I would've imagined. I liked the movie quite a bit even if I found the ending a bit unrealistic.
Quite boring story about the girl who don't know what she wants; passion or real life.
Great movie I loved in my twenties...only for the fact of the special cameo of Kristy McNichols' colorful support as a sexy cowgirl tease. Wonderful dance scene in the bar on the skating rink. Woo Doggy! Sexy Sexy Sexy!

Zalman King knows how to make quality soft core porn. It's like a harlequin romance come to life but it's great as a late night "I can't get to sleep" movie. Curl up in the dark with some popcorn and enjoy the cheese.
