With the budget this had, and the star power involved, this could have been a worthwhile adaptation of one of the Marquis de Sade's most well known tales. Unfortunately the creators of "Justine & Juliette" go for comedy that is dumb and unfunny. Nothing against the comic approach in adult film, when it is done right, such as in "Every Inch A Lady," which is a masterpiece of adult film. Also the hardcore sequences rarely involve the primary cast, and those scenes are poorly filmed. The worst choice of all was to give Harry Reems so little screen time, because the only time this dud comes alive is when Reems is on screen. His screentime clocks in at around 15 minutes in total. One interesting piece of trivia about this production is that it was filmed in the same beautiful apartment as Joe Sarno"s vastly superior "Butterflies," also with Reems and Marie Forsa. My advice is to skip this tired movie and seek out "Butterflies," as you won't be disappointed.
