The Fifth Musketeer vs. Serving Sara

Sylvia Kristel. Ursula Andress. Two actresses known for their willingness to take it all off on screen. After watching The Fifth Musketeer, I can see that they were likely cast in the film at least partially for that reason. They may be the best reason to watch the film, since the rest is only so-so. Part of the problem was that I didn't find Beau Bridges to be very charismatic in his dual role, which was the most important role in the film. Also, the other Musketeers (one played by the Skipper from Gilligan's Island) don't have much presence. With Serving Sara, you get the Elizabeth Hurley/Amy Adams combo. They don't take their clothes off, but you can't have everything. For some reason, I find Serving Sara to be fairly entertaining. I didn't dislike The Fifth Musketeer, but it was just too average beyond the contributions of Andress and Kristel. Ian McShane offered a certain charm as a villain, though.
