The Way to a Man's Heart is through his Sex Dungeon
Crushingly predictable glossy romance in which a shy everygirl manages to win the heart of a handsome, wealthy man, with regular sequences of soft-core humping included in an attempt to disguise how formulaic it all is.

Manages the surprising trick of making bondage seem quite dull; I found my attention wandering, and wondering who it was that kept Mr Grey's sex dungeon so shiny clean - has his cleaner also signed an NDA? Essentially hobbled as a piece of erotica by the fact that, in the end, this is still a mainstream film and so there are certain things they can't show. In the end this really has all the sizzling erotic frisson of a game of dominoes with Jacob Rees-Mogg. Extra point knocked off for the fact it doesn't bother with a proper climax (so to speak), choosing to leave that for the inevitable sequel.
