Champagne
(Leslie Bovee) has just been promoted to vice president of her advertising
firm. Now that she is in a place of
power, she seeks to objectify men and use them for sex. She hires an ex-boxer (John Leslie) to be her
chauffeur and he takes her around so she can ball various lovers. Predictably, he winds up falling in love with
her.
I
know this is just a dumb early ‘80s porn, but the out of date attitudes and
rampant homophobia really bring it down.
I mean, it’s one thing for John Leslie’s character to pretend to be gay
in order to get a job. It’s another for
him to sock a guy on the jaw for coming onto him. The strangest scene occurs when banging a hot
babe and she invites another woman into the bed. When he sees her, he starts freaking out,
calls them “lesbians”, and storms out of the room. Man, what guy wouldn’t want two sexy girls at
the same time? He clearly has some issues. (Either that, or the filmmakers do.)
Many
of the sex scenes are lackluster too. There’s
one fuck scene that happens on a waterbed that doesn’t even have a money shot,
just a close-up of stains on the sheets.
The best scene is when Leslie bangs Kay Parker on her desk and she gets
so hot that she starts breaking everything in her office.
At
over 100 minutes, Champagne for Breakfast is just too long for its own good and
has too many drawn out dialogue scenes that ultimately go nowhere. It’s also really cheap looking too. I mean you kind of expect to see crew members
reflected in the car windows during outdoor scenes in these movies. You don’t expect to see them walking around
in the background during a bedroom fuck scene!
Jeez, even Ed Wood kept his crew out of his shots.
Champagne
for Breakfast was also released in an edited R-rated version titled, Boss
Lady. I can’t imagine how it played
without the XXX scenes. With the
hardcore scenes, the movie isn’t much.
Without them, it’s probably even less.
