About This Movie

Personal Services (1987) is a quirky gem in the comedy genre, showcasing a particular kind of British humor. The film leans heavily into its satirical exploration of the adult industry, all while maintaining a playful tone. Christine Painter, played with a charmingly naive bravado, navigates the complexities of her new venture with a mix of optimism and hilarity. The pacing is a bit uneven, oscillating between laugh-out-loud moments and some surprisingly poignant reflections on empowerment and autonomy. Its unique premise—a house of spanking—is presented with a light touch, avoiding harshness while still provoking thought on societal norms. It's a fascinating watch for those who appreciate offbeat comedies and the bold choices of the late '80s.
