Friend of the Family, also known as Elke's Erotic Nights or simply Elke, is a 1995 American erotic drama film written and directed by Edward Holzman, and starring Shauna O'Brien & Griffin Drew.[1]
A married couple, Linda and Jeff, are trying to get their relationship under control. They do not communicate with each other much; Jeff is a workaholic and Linda thinks he is cheating on her. Linda and Jeff are both having trouble talking to Jeff's two college-aged children, Montana and Josh, from his first marriage. They then meet Elke, the younger sister of one of Linda's old friends. Elke, who is free-spirited and sexually uninhibited, begins interacting with most of the members of the family, emotionally and romantically, with a new openness and communication between them as the unexpected result.
Friend of the Family currently has no approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but the Want-To-See is currently 62%. TV Guide gave the movie one out of five stars.[2]
