I Submit ... A Review

*** Very Mild Spoilers*** Preaching to the Perverted is a fun little movie that had the potential to be more. Its production values are pretty high for such a "non-commercial" film and visually it is very attractive. It does a good job of satirizing both the fetishist and conservative communities, but its arguments don't really break any new ground. It represents a caricature of both worlds, rather than finding any deep truths. Watch it just for silly fun, and you will be satisfied.

Guine Turner and Christien Anholt, although not the world's greatest actors, are both appealing enough to easily gain the viewer's empathy. Supporting actors do a great job and there's lots of eye candy to behold.

Although I really enjoyed the humor of the film, a few things were dissatisfying. We never really get to know The Mistress (Turner) or Peter (Anholt) and so the dynamics of their relationship are figured out only through guesswork on the part of the viewer. That they change is obvious through the PLOT of the film, but never through their interactions. For this reason, the film fails to show us anything of significance about either Peter's sexual inhibitions and desires or The Mistress' "darkest fantasy." Without this, it's just a movie to be forgotten in a few days.

One other whine is that the MP conservatives are simply shown as hypocrites, which is just too easy. I would have loved to see this movie actually engage the idea that ultra-conservatives might believe the crap they spew forth. Peter, after all, begins as one of them ... so how does he end up where he does by the ending of the film? On the other hand, what has made The Mistress so dissatisfied with her own world? Exploring the faults of both sides would have made for a VERY interesting and significant flick!

Again, these are just "could haves." Overall, I really loved the movie and found it to be laugh-out-loud funny in some parts. If you have even a passing acquaintance with the fetishist community, you will see many jokes at the expense of types within the scene.

Glamourous but slowly paced and badly acted ...

The english sex comedy genre has given us a lot of cringeworthy stuff but also some gems; sadly "Preaching to the Perverted" is not amongst them. Thematically it's almost a companion piece to 70's "Every Home Should Have One", but it falls short in almost every respect. The main problems are that it's incredibly slow (it takes nearly 45 minutes until the story gets going and over an hour until it gets interesting),and that the acting is somewhere between bland and atrocious. So, while the idea of conflicting emotions in the sterile fetish world has some merit, it never takes off because there's zero chemistry between the leads. Same goes for the fun; there ARE some nice gags here but too few and most of them executed with bad timing.

Overall, interesting mostly for fetish completists; as an actual comedy it falls a few inches short.

PREACHING TO THE PERVERTED - Amusing experience to fetishists, Taboo to others

It is quite rude to review 'Tom & Jerry' cartoon saying that it is illogical for a cat or mouse to play baseball or clean house or cook etc.. Because they are cartoons and are meant to be illogical and slapstick so that kids can laugh and enjoy and so the elders to bring the inner child. Similarly this movie is about perversions and its quite rude to review bad about the theme, IMO. As the title says the movie is to be watched as a Pervert even if you ain't one. If you detest S&M then stay away from the movie.

The movie is quite simple story about a young Christian computer guy spying on a BDSM facility, eventually falling into it . The concept of the ministers trying to close the club makes the plot unrealistic (somewhat related to Operation Spanner in UK). The positive of the movie is about the visuals of erotic fantasy for the s&m are shown superbly makes you feel into the movie itself. The costumes, make-overs and sets are way too good (pink colors). The bottom line : the movie is a guilty pleasure to the kinky fetishists and cultural taboo to others.
