Dove Review

Against her father’s (Sam Neill) wishes, Lizzie spends extended time with Peter. Although sexual content of this film is limited, premarital sex is glorified as Lizzie and Peter reject her father’s moral counsel and choose to sleep together, having known each other for only a week. Lizzie forwardly proposes that they have sex with no commitment required. Much of the obscene language and profanity detracts from this film, causing what could have been a nice, wholesome story to turn sour. It’s too bad that this film didn’t include more romance and less sexual innuendo that left nothing to the imagination. Due to its sexual content, foul language and a brief scene of rear nudity.
