This camp spectacle stars Sherilyn Fenn (Boxing Helena) as an upper-crust Southern belle who abandons the posh life for sex on the road with a carny worker. Naturally, the older folk (Burl Ives, Louise Fletcher) take exception. Typically silly, soft-porn stuff from director Zalman King (Wild Orchid), this erotic joke of a movie is good for putting one's busy brain on hold for awhile. Colorful support from Kristy McNichol as a cowgirl, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the late Hervé Villechaiz (Fantasy Island). --Tom Keogh

Summary: One of my favorite guilty pleasures...
Comment: Two Moon Junction was the first Zalman King movie I ever watched and have to say that it was my favorite. Yes, the story gets a little campy here & there, but you just have to love it anyways! I can't get enough of Richard Tyson in this movie...his looks, his quirky & sometimes very funny remarks, his sincere moments. (I personally think he is very underrated as an actor!) Sherilyn Fenn plays the spoiled rich girl who could want for nothing more in life...until she meets carnival worker Perry. She has everything, he has nothing, but in the end...well if I told you how it ended, you might not be enticed to watch it. Love it, love it, love it!

Summary: Great "couples" movie
Comment: This is a very entertaining movie with a plot, great acting, sexy, erotic yet tasteful scenes with full nudity at times. The camera work if awesome throughout the entire movie. If you want to get your partner "in the mood", this is the film that will do it for you.

Summary: Two Moon Junction = One Star Movie.
Comment: Two Moon Junction (Zalman King, 1988)
Back in the day, I had an ex-girlfriend (well, more like a female acquaintance, but that is a long and boring story-- much like this film) who was obsessed with this flick. I never actually saw the whole thing, so I sat down recently and have it the treatment. Afterwards, I remembered why I stopped subjecting myself to Zalman King flicks after 9 ½ Weeks. The box calls it an "adult drama"; the translation, of course, is "softcore", but without anywhere near the amount of nudity or badly-simulated sex one expects from the genre.
The plot, what little of it there is, involves April Delongpre (Twin Peaks' Sherilyn Fenn), a southern debutante who is getting married soon. When the carnival comes to town, however, she finds herself enmeshed in a fling with Perry (Black Hawk Down's Richard Tyson), one of the carnies. Yep, that's all there is to it.
The main problem with the film-- aside, of course, from its almost entire lack of a storyline-- is the lack of chemistry between the sultry Fenn and Tyson, who comes off as a sort of low-rent Val Kilmer with far less charisma. In fact, it's grudgingly admirable that King managed to find two actors who could share almost no chemistry at all. It's the love story version of Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman in Se7en, except those two weren't supposed to like one another. Now, a better director may have been able to carry this off anyway, but King is not that better director.
These days, if this movie is remembered at all, it should be as the final screen appearances of Burl Ives and Herve Villechaize combined with the first screen appearance of Milla Jovovich, though all three are eminently forgettable here, in keeping with the rest of the picture. I can't imagine why anyone would want to remember it. *

Summary: I've got a better idea.
Comment: Let me go on record as saying Sherilyn Fenn is one of the great hotties of all time...all time. Unfortunately, this movie is a waste of her talent. The plot (I'm being generous calling it a plot), at best is silly. At its worst, you'll wish you had taken my advice and saved your money.
The low point of the movie is the line "Bourbon, get me bourbon," which is followed by the unforgettable line, "Bourbon, get me bourbon." Genius.
