California Taboo

About This Movie

California Taboo is one of those curiosities from '89 that really captures a certain cheeky vibe of its era. The film, while very much a product of its time, dives into some self-indulgent humor wrapped in a light comedic narrative. Christen Carson's performance stands out—she’s unabashedly expressive, bringing a playful energy that’s tough to ignore. The pacing is breezy, threading together scenes that oscillate between fantasy and reality, which makes for an interesting watch. Joey Silvera's chemistry adds a layer of fun, and it’s clear they’re having a good time with the material. It's not just about the explicit content; there’s a certain charm in the absurdity that gives it a unique flavor.

California Taboo has seen a few different formats over the years, but its VHS releases are the ones that collectors often seek out due to their limited availability. The film's playful tone and aesthetic really resonate with fans of late '80s comedies, making it an interesting piece for collectors focusing on that niche. Its scarcity and the unique aspect of Christen Carson's debut contribute to its appeal, making it a conversation starter among enthusiasts.
