Tom (Michael Watkins) is a photographer who has just lost his driver’s license. He and his wife Jacqui (Lisa Taylor) are looking for an au pair. They eventually settle on a studly American guy (Steve Amber) who winds up hopping into bed with just about every pretty woman he meets.
This was the third and final David Hamilton-Grant skin flick that was featured on a bonus disc of the Nightmare 4K UHD release. Although it was made after The Office Party and Under the Bed! it feels less polished than those other ventures. The jokes are lame, and the acting is mostly a bust. (Amber’s American accent is often painful to listen to.)
I was also a little disappointed and confused by the plot. (Not that the plot is important in these kinds of things but still.) When I heard the couple was going to hire an au pair, I thought that meant they were getting a sexy babysitter or something. As it turns out the “au pair” isn’t a nanny, but more of a chauffeur. To make matters worse it winds up being a dude. Heck, the couple doesn’t even have any kids to take care of! Then again, if he wasn’t a chauffeur then I guess the pun in the title wouldn’t work.
Although it’s easily the weakest of the lot of Hamilton-Grant films in the set, You’re Driving Me Crazy! certainly delivers in the skin department. Some of the nudity comes courtesy of our main character’s photo shoots with topless models. (It also helps that they all want to ball Amber too.) Taylor, who was so memorable in Under the Bed! is a bit muted here, unfortunately. Still, she looks great au natural. Suzy Mandel is also fun as a one of Watkins’ models, a British bimbo with a Betty Boop voice. Pat Astley gets a great skinny-dipping sequence too where she… takes a bath in her swimming pool?!? Between that and the whole au pair/chauffeur thing, the script feels like it was spat out by AI. Shit like this won’t drive you crazy, but it may make you scratch your head.
