A Little Nookie

About This Movie

A Little Nookie (1991) dives into the awkwardness of marital intimacy with a blend of humor and heartfelt moments. Jon, portrayed with a certain relatable desperation, finds himself in quite the predicament as his wife, played by Ashley Nicole, remains emotionally and physically distant. The pacing is uneven at times, but it gives a raw feel to Jon's increasingly frantic attempts to rekindle that spark. There's a certain charm in the practical effects, highlighting the era's low-budget aesthetic. While it may not have the strongest direction, the film's exploration of relationships and communication resonates, even if it's a bit rough around the edges.

This film has a rather obscure presence in collector circles, with limited releases on VHS and a few rare DVD prints. Its scarcity adds to the allure, as many collectors appreciate its unconventional take on relationships. The mix of humor and awkwardness makes it a curious watch, though finding a copy in good condition can be tricky, which has piqued interest among niche collectors.
