Sheila's Review
Starring Don McKellar, Lindy Booth, Tara Spencer-Nairn and Kira Clavell who worked for $100 a day and where part of the team effort to get this movie made. They where all fantastic!

This was an original story line about a Rub & Tug (massage parlor), directed by Soo Lyu who is very new to movie making and has proven that she has got what it takes to put an entertaining movie together.

Clients get more than a massage at this establishment, but the girls refuse to do full service (sexual intercourse). A hand job is about as far as they will go with the customers. The story focuses on three girls and their boss. There is an interesting friction between the gals and their boss which is always amusing. The film doesn’t actually show any sexual scenes. The most sexual scene is a dream sequence involving a melting ice-cream cone which won the audience over.

The story was inspired by and based on true stories of many gals working in Rub & Tugs. There is a great twist at the end which I won’t tell you about as I hope you’ll see this film and I don’t want to ruin it for you. I can see this becoming a great cult classic along the lines of Mall Rats and Dogma.
