Plot: Fatal Instinct is an Airplane-style spoof of the late-'80s, early-'90s cycle of erotic crime thrillers. Setting the plot in motion is a kinky murder. Armand Assante plays the cop assigned to the case; he's also the prosecuting attorney; the Sharon Stone part is essayed by Sean Young. A dash of Body Heat is thrown in the pot as Assante's wife Kate Nelligan plots her hubby's demise. Tony Randall has a bit as a judge, while the film's semi-mocking jazz score is provided by Clarence Clemmons -- who shows up on screen to toot his sax at various crucial plot junctures. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A wonderful adult comedy
Added 9/13/2009

A wonderfully silly and stupid comedy that is artfully done. Asante steps out of his usual character and plays a delightful wacky fool. A great adult film.

Good-Spoof Movie
Added 3/11/2009

Great pick-me up movie if your sad.The commentary from Carl Reiner was very sweet and appreciative towards the actors also.It was well written comedy even though it was a spoof of previously-written material.Loved the dead-pan acting of Armande Assante.I think this is well worth seeing,and recommend it.

Film Noir Spoof Worth A Look
Added 2/12/2009

A wild spoof of suspense and film noirs, I appreciated this silly film a little more than most being a big fan of "noir." As with any comedy, the movie is a combination of genuinely laugh-out-loud gags and sight scenes and genuinely stupid lines. It depends on what makes you laugh.

One thing it has for sure: lots of sexual innuendos and just plain overt sexuality. It's yet another one of these PG-13 ratings that is a joke. This is not for kids.

Also, this film won't be much for those without a knowledge of classic crime films of the past, from the '40s to the '80s. Many parts of this movie parrot scenes from Fatal Attraction, Body Double, etc. It takes several viewings to catch most of the inside jokes.

Armand Assante is the smooth private detective and Sherilyn Fenn is his attractive and loyal secretary. Kate Nelligan, Sean Young and Christopher McDonald add to the fun.

To be frank, I enjoyed this more on the first viewing than I did on the second. After watching it twice, I thought the film would have been better had it been cut 10-15 minutes, and it's only 90 minutes. However, I am not knocking it: it's a fun movie.
