I had a great time with Acting Lessons. There are many flaws but its over-the-top ridiculousness can be quite funny, intentionally or otherwise. The characters grow on you, even if they're just barbie dolls, and even if this is very much a male fantasy plot. There are tropes and stereotypes with nothing explored too deeply, but just enough to convey relatable human emotions and struggles. I was pleasantly surprised that one of the routes featured polyamory. That's not something that's often represented. The story is very dramatic, with the type of drama one might see in a soap opera and that's part of the charm.

The spicy content is present throughout but have very stiff animations. This can mean awkward looking actions and soulless expressions but there are some nice looking shots, just keep your expectations tempered. Occasionally you'll be given the ability to make a choice on what action to take during these scenes but it doesn't happen too often. There is consensual and non-consensual relations depicted in this game so be wary of that.

Overall this is simple, trashy fun that might make you feel an emotion or two.
