Sex & Mrs. X

Description

Joanna Scott (Linda Hamilton) whose husband has just left her for a younger woman, is a prominent New York journalist assigned to do a story on a secretive and successful Paris madam. Though not interested at first writing the 'sexposé', she realizes that a month in Paris might do her good. Soon after meeting the sophisticated and successful Madame Simone (Jacqueline Bisset), Joanna finds herself the one being interviewed. It doesn't take long for this worldly madam to size up Joanna and strip away her cold veneer. What is revealed is an insecure woman who needs to feel desirable again. Like a modern day Pygmalion who educates and refines beautiful women, Madame Simone offers her expertise in helping Joanna rediscover her sexuality and sense of self. Drama. Not Rated. 91 Minutes.

Renewed Confidence .......2006-07-23

This movie is for any woman who has forgotten herself. It reminds you that you have to love yourself, before you can love someone else. After watching Jacqueline Bisset transform Linda Hamilton into a sexy, more confident woman, I felt that I could do anything I wanted to. It's my favorite feel good movie.
Please watch it, you won't be dissapointed.

Linda Hamilton's Tour de France.......2006-07-21

I can't believe this was a Lifetime movie.It does make us wonder about Linda Hamilton's post-Terminator career choices.She's no Sarah Connor,future mother of mankind's savior,but a mousy journalist investigating Jacqueline Bisset,who may or may not be a madam.Linda Hamilton seems to be discomfitted in this movie,and with its awful script,it's no wonder why.

Jacqueline Bisset plays a Frenchwoman who combines the Professor from "My Fair Lady" with the campiness of Mame.She's being campy&clearly enjoying it.

Linda Hamilton is "transformed" from being an ugly American to an erotic Mademoiselle through buying lingerie,having a loooong dressing room sequence&watching pornos.Having a fling with a hot photographer apparently perks her up too.

This movie makes good for early morning watching (say 4 am,before going to work?),and it makes for good campy fun.If you're having a Bad Movie Night,put this on your list,have some French rose wine&chow down on chocolate croissants!

"Sex&Mrs.X" is hardly an epic,but it's a PERFECT GUILTY PLEASURE!

Great motivational film for any break-up!!.......2005-09-27

I simply love this film! It's great for any woman in any circumstance, but if you've been feeling "BLAH", then this is the perfect film for you! You'll be strutting high and feeling good about yourself - great girls' night out flick!!!!

This was a cool little lifetime film..........2005-05-31

I always liked this movie and it inspires me to want to go to Paris someday. It was great to watch Linda Hamilton's character go from this repressed career woman to a woman with Joie de viev (I think I spelled that right). Very inspirational and enjoyable to watch and a bit of a lesson for many American woman who love trudging around in greasy old jogging clothes, shopping at Target and then come home asking, "Why doesn't my husband make love to me anymore" or "Why is he leaving me" or "Why isn't he romantic". Watch this film and you'll know why. It definitely takes a little something from both sides to get inspired.

Hors D'Oeuvres + wine + someone fun + THIS FILM.......2004-11-09

This is an ideal film to share with wine and hors d'oeuvres and someone fun, even if that delightful person is the one you see in the mirror.

This is one of my all-time fun movies. When I found out it was being released on DVD...I bought it immediately.

Jacqueline Bisset is so incredible in the role of Madame Simone, and seeing her read the other characters while giving them a wry look is a pleasure.

I do hope they do a part II. I would love to see the cast brought together again for a second part. It deserves a second part. Only one film with Jacqueline Bisset interpreting Madame Simone is not enough.
