Motel Sweets

Eric Edwards has done it again with Motel Sweets. As producer, director, co-writer and star, he has fashioned a sexy romantic comedy that hits so close to home. In fact, it's just right out of your town, a one-night hideaway where you and yours can do your think, with only the motel inhabitants as your observing witnesses. And they are Eric, himself, as night manager, Taija Rae as the hooker, the bedraggled husband and his frustrated young wife, the town, the shy newlyweds, the night maid, the slimming young businessman, the traveling salesman, and lots more. All having a ball, enjoying it all, behind and in - front of their closed doors, at the Motel Sweets

Directed by Eric Edwards, Motel Sweets leans on a strong ensemble — Taija Rae, Tantala Ray, Ona Zee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1987.
