1981's "Babe" is a little more than the average adult entertainment title. There's some creative ambition to the work, with screenwriter Rick Marx striving to bring a classic comedy structure to the '80s endeavor, merging a semi-broad take on wild happenings involving money, sex, and scheming. Working with a little extra budgetary power and a game cast who seem to understand the spirit of the movie, director John Christopher does a capable job bringing most of his ideas to life, cooking up devious plans and prickly personalities in the heart of New York City. "Babe" largely connects as an offering of semi-screwball happenings and heated encounters, held together with a tight pace and amusing turns of plot, rising above usual production efforts associated with X-rated features.
