The Nymphets

Joe (Kip Pardue), a banker in his mid-30s, feels mighty lucky when cackling, college-age girls Brittany (Annabelle Dexter-Jones) and Allyson (Jordan Lane Price) go home with him after they are bounced from a bar for being underage. Licking his wounds following a nasty separation from his live-in girlfriend, Joe is ready to let his hair down. But his fantasy falls prey to Brittany and Allyson's persistent mind games, as they make him work to prolong lustful fantasies while psychologically zeroing in on his vulnerable issues about age, a boring job, and his relationship failures. Throughout, Brittany and Allyson are manic, giddy, and spooky with their incessant laughter. But eventually Joe will also reach that hysterical pitch and go beyond it. Aided by a strong cast, writer-director Gary Gardner does an admirable job of maintaining the tension and keeping the audience guessing as to where this strange scenario is headed. Recommended. (T.
