Lawrence, the owner of a "full body" massage parlour, suspects that the three girls who work for him are secretly performing sex with customers. To catch them in the act, he hires COnrad to serve as the parlour's unlikely manager. Conrad meets the three girls for the first time: Betty, the vivacious veteran of the full body massage game, Cindy, the adorable immigrant who always manages to get into trouble, and Lea, the beautiful but insecure massage girl with a nipple fetish. These street-smart girls welcome the opportunity to manipulate the naive manager. A battle wages as Conrad fights for control of the parlour. -- © Willow Pictures [More]

The screenplay is wildly uneven, throwing in useless subplots to pad out the running time...

There's little that's funny and even less that's sexy.
