This is supossed to be Bionca's directing debut and you can tell that
Bruce helped a lot.  Not that it did any good though.  I thought that
the music-through-first-part-of-scene-problem was first seen in B7
movies like _Buttslammers #10_, apparently not.

For those of you who dunno where the heck I'm talking about, it goes
like this:  begin-of-scene, some girls dancing/stripping (which mostly
requires music)..after stripping they get into g/g stuff..at which
point we STILL have the strip-music at full strength, effectivly
ruining the normal sound.  And I'm pretty sure it's NOT done 'cos some
technician fucked up. Somehow Bruce got the idea that viewers like
to hear music dubbed over at least the first 10 minutes of a scene.
Trust me...they(I) don't, it sucks.

>From the very start of the movie you immediatly notice Bruce Seven has
been working on it; dance-scenes with music-problem, too many
close-ups of butts instead of faces or full-body-shots.  Now I'll
admit that I prefer full-body shots a LOT so Your Mileage May Vary,
most likely will. (the ass vs. face close-up problems also roars it's
ugly head in _Takin it to the Limit #6_ BTW)

The movie itself...ah yes, almost forgot about that ;-)

 Laurel Canyon

Fairly nice solo-scene, and I'm a fan of those.  I complained about
the music already, would have been nice to see Laurel in a g/g
scene...

 Madison, Porsche Lynn, Aja

Well, this is still the nice/young and pre-boobjob Madison so that's a
plus.  Other then that this scene didn't impress me all that much,
it's not horrible bad or something like that...it's just a bit boring.
(am I getting jaded already? oh my god :-)

 Summer Knight, Porsche Lynn

Aha!  The primairy reason for getting this tape, Summer Knight.
(anybody noticing a pattern here?).  Since Summer is nice by
definition this scene is by default nice.  This is Summer in her early
days with her light brown hair.  It's just that Summer seems to have
fun in most of the scenes she does, and she shows it too.  Nice scene,
I would have picked different close-ups and more body-shots but that's
just me.

 Heather Lere, Nikki Wilde

Just a nice scene, really it is.  Heather is nice to look at, but
doesn't always act like she's having fun.  (kinda passive at times)
For some reason I still like Heather but am virtually allways
dissappointed with her scenes :-(

 Heather Lere, Summer Knight, Aja, Madison

An orgy , now Bruce has shot some good orgies but this ain't
one of them.  I'm fully aware of the fact that it's difficult to shoot
an orgy well but then you shouldn't bother trying it.  Fortunatly
there are only four girls in this one so it's not all that bad.
(NOTE: the orgy at the end of _Jennifer Ate_ is FAR worse, if that
makes anyone feel any better)

AFW says about this scene "there are more jamming dildo's and dripping
slits in this scene than in ten other videos put together".  Well,
that maybe true, but IMO much of those videos well then be a lot
better shot... some old saying about "quantity vs. quality" comes to
mind.

The verdict:  since I bought this movie (can't rent it over here) I
might have a different view on things.  Even for Summer (who looks
nice) this movie is not worth buying.  It might make for a nice rental
but please rent at least one other tape if you do that...

Rating: 2.10
