No mystery here

Alyssa Miano naked. That is the movie summary. That is what the people who made this movie were aiming for. In 1995, naked (and bi-curious) Alyssa was the holy grail of famous actress nudity, just as Jennifer Lawrence was until the iCloud leaks. Since the Internet was in its nascence in1995 and iCloud leaks weren't really a thing, seeing as there was no iCloud to leak, getting a former-child-star-strugglng-in-her-career Alyssa Milano naked on screen was a guaranteed winner. So that's what we got. None of the people involved cared about the plot or theme or message of the movie, and nobody in the viewing public complained about any of those. This could have been a movie about how to balance your checkbook and it would have turned a good profit just so long as Alyssa got naked while doing the math on a calculator, and was seduced by a female accountant she went to in order to get her taxes done.

At least Milano had a career resurgence after that. So everybody won. The studio made a profit, Alyssa transitioned from child star to success as an adult, and legions of '70 and '80s kids got to see Samantha Micelli naked. Isn't it beautiful when it al works out?

0 for plot, 8 for naked Alyssa (she was a hottie, to be sure), average to 4
