Live Nude Girls is a movie from 1995 written and directed by Julianna Lavin and starring Dana Delany, Kim Catrall, Cynthia Stevenson, Laila Robins, Lora Zane, and Olivia d'Abo. Anyone who hears the title of the movie will think it is smutty or something that is on Cinemax overnight, but that is not the case. Yes, there is nudity in it, but it amounts to about 2 scenes (and yes, one does involve Olivia D'Abo), but that is it. Even though there is not much nudity, there is a lot of sexual suggestion and dialogue and a lot of swearing. The movie is basically a slumber party before the wedding day of Kim Cattrall's character, where the group of childhood friends sit around and talk about their lives and about sex. It has a good mix of drama and humor.
There are a few different physical media versions of the movie (the original DVD, a DVD that includes an unrated cut of the movie, and a blu-ray version). I have the original DVD version that just includes the theatrical version of the movie with no extras.
The movie is really a story about the relationships (good and bad) between the characters. There really is not any kind of overcomplicated plot that you need to follow, so it is one of those movies that can just kind of be on in the background, and you can tune in and out of it. It is a good relationship story that does not drag on too long. This is good because, for the most part, it is set inside the same house (save for a couple scenes) and could have easily ended up going way too long. While the easy comparison is to Sex and the City (especially given Catrall's involvement), while the movie does have some similarities, it is quite different. The movie is definitely not going to appeal to everyone, but if you are not offended by talk of sex and don't mind dialogue-driven movies, this is worth the time to watch.
