A pornographic film version of Superman starring Desireé Cousteau as the main character Superwoman/Linda Kent, a court action by Warner Bros. prompted the name of the film to be changed to Ms. Magnificent and most of the references to Superman removed or altered.

Review:

Originally this film was meant to be a porn spoof of SUPERMAN and it features Desiree Cousteau playing a reporter by day but a superhero by night who uses her sexual knowledge to set things right. Cousteau was put in a red cape but it didn't take long for Marvel to sue so the producers of this film changed the title, silenced the soundtrack whenever "Superwoman" was said and they blurred out the "S" on the costume.

For the most part this here was a poorly made but mildly entertaining porn film that has a few campy moments but, to be honest, if it wasn't for the lawsuit then it's doubtfilm the film would have been remembered today. For the most part the film plays it rather simple with the story as Superwoman must try and get her lover back from the villain of the film (played by Jesie St. James).

If you're expecting any ground-breaking effects or anything like that then you're obviously in the wrong movie. The opening scenes in space are horrendously embarrassing as is pretty much everything dealing with any sort of effect. Even worse are the performances by most of the cast but this does add some humor into the mix. The sex scenes are at least entertaining and for the most part they were good enough to please the porn crowd.

It seems not too many people were happy with Cousteau here and I can understand why. She's pretty bland in the role and she certainly doesn't bring any energy to the part. I loved her so much in PRETTY PEACHES and other films that this one here doesn't come off nearly as great. With that said, she's still quite beautiful so watching her was no problem.
