If all you're looking for out of a movie is sex, sex, and more sex, then you might want to give the Crown International exploitation flick "Cindy and Donna" a try. It's not for people who want a really good, meaty story or lots of character development. However, it *is* for those who want to see a plethora of bare breasts, close-ups of bottoms and crotches, and a number of erotic sex scenes.
Aptly described as the saga of one teenagers' sexual awakening, it stars Debbie Osborne as the Cindy of the title, a 17 year old who doesn't have much interest in sex yet, despite the fact that her horny older sister Donna (Nancy Ison) and equally horny friend Karen (Cheryl Powell) are having it all the time. Their mother Harriet (Sue Allen) is a drunk who's saddled with a husband, Ted (Max Manning) who continuously lusts after a topless dancer named Alice (Alice Friedland). And Donna has a boyfriend, Greg (Tom Benko) who's more than a little sleazy.
While this isn't much good as a film, it's just so damn trashy that it's likely to keep a good many voyeurs watching, despite the rather slow pace. None of the acting is exactly award worthy, but it gets the job done. Osborne is reasonably appealing as Cindy. Manning is an entertaining shameless horndog and Allen chews a little scenery as the drunken mother, whose own attempt to engage in some extramarital activity doesn't go too well. Adding to the enjoyment factor are an assortment of truly cheesy pop tunes and a variable soundtrack ranging from bluegrass to rock sounds.
Overall, some devotees of 70s drive-in cult cinema should be fairly satisfied with this one.
