It's the day before the wedding of Piper (Tyffany Million) and Brad (Nick East). They seem to love eachother dearly.. but Brad also has a thing for Piper's mom (Sharon Kane). His best man Mike (Sean Michaels) knows about their torrid affair and when he confronts Brad about it, he displays some concern for his bride-to-be. Brad tells him, "Mike, if you're that concerned about Piper.. *you* marry her!" Mike later turns to the camera and says to us, "Well, I can't say I'd go quite that far, but I would love to see.. pretty Piper on her back.. with her legs spread." Upon stepping outside, he discovers that his wish has come true. He finds Piper relaxing on a blanket. So they talk and Piper confides in him that the whole wedding is a farce and that her mother pushed her into marriage like there was no tomorrow. He tells her he doesn't want to see her throw her life away on a loveless marriage and she appreciates how much he cares. So much that she jumps his bones right then and there.
One of Piper's best friends, and bridesmaid, Muffy (Rebecca Bardoux) is depressed that she isn't the one getting married. She's also saddened by the fact that Brad's best man doesn't have the hots for her. Drowning her sorrows with champagne, she is approached by Brad and the caterer Marvin (Marc Wallice), who's also in a rut over losing a silver platter he was going to use at the reception. Muffy and Marvin both console eachother in a sexual way and Brad's invited to join in for a tryst 'one last time' before he ties the knot. Muffy reminds him, "After tonight, you'll only have Princess Piper to sleep with." So he gladly joins in.
Another one of Piper's best friends, Lucy (Roxanne Blaze), visits her later that night. Piper tells her that her getting married will put an end to a lot of things.. but not to the secret lust they have for eachother. Lucy says they'll just have to be more careful about their lesbian flings, but in the meantime that they're alone they decide to go at it just for fun. Hours later when Lucy goes home, she finds Marvin (who's her boyfriend I think?) snooping around the bathroom trying to find the silver platter, which he does find underneath the sink. Now that he found what he's looking for, he and Lucy eventually get into a late night romp to top off a hard day.
So, the wedding takes place after all and everyone's blowing kisses to eachother. A loveless marriage? Perhaps, but they all seem to live happily ever after. Muffy's line to Marvin halfway through the movie pretty much sums up the plot: "Welcome to soap opera city!"
SCENES:
* Sharon Kane, Nick East
You can feel the sexual depravity between these two from the moment they kiss and have their hands all over eachother. Sharon seems overly eager to get it on with Nick that you'd think these two were a real-life couple who haven't seen eachother in years. Sharon sucks Nick off first, working her hand skillfully up and down his cock and milking it into her mouth. Then she lays back on a table, eventually unbuttoning her dress and exposing her cute natural breasts, and lets him lap away at her pussy. They get into missionary and doggy positions, with Nick wearing a condom. They perform well, but unfortunately the heat they've created isn't captured nicely. There is too much focus on Nick! Not to mention that there's looping (which, surprise, is all of Nick's closeups.. sigh). He pulls the rubber off and Sharon squats down and squeezes her breasts together, preparing for them to be showered with cum. He starts jerking himself off onto her chest, then Sharon takes over. With more penetration close-ups and replacing all of Nick's face shots with clips of Sharon instead, this could have been a really hot scene. It's still good, but most will be hard-pressed by having to watch more of the guy than more of the girl.
This is an extremely passionate sex scene with no fake screaming or vulgar dirty talk. Their energy to please eachother is genuine as they start off sensually with kissing and embracing. Tyffany enjoys Sean's tongue gliding up and down her neck and he definitely enjoys worshipping her body with it, seductively working her right leg up and down before dipping it into her sweet honeypot (his tongue, that is). After she unbuttons and slides off her jean shorts, Tyff parts her black laced panties to the side and exposes her bald beaver for him. Once he gets a taste of it, he gets up and unbuttons his shirt as she kneels before him and slowly pulls down his jeans to reveal his black 'n dicker power tool which she takes into her mouth slowly. She's also a skilled blowjob artist but when she attempts to deep throat him, it almost appears as if she's about to gag when she gets about half of it in her mouth (at least she tried - not too many porn stars can accomplish such a feat, much less get two inches or so past the head of Sean's long schlong into their mouths). Their sexual positions include a mish, doggy, cowgirl, and brief mish again before a popshot on her chin (a sort of disappointing one at that). There's a bit more kissing and neck licking and nipple sucking during the course of it, and if tenderness and affection is something you're looking for in a sex scene then this should serve you well.
Rebecca, who appears natural chested here (as far as I can see), is a cock hungry harlot who proves she wants her mouth stuffed with manmeat, taking each of their long slim dicks into her mouth lewdly. After going back and forth between them, Nick goes behind and doggies her as she continues slurping down the Wallice whanger. Marc gets to briefly doggy her as well, before she sits on Nick cowgirl style. Marc then rubs some lube on her asshole, preparing it for an anal entry. A nice, but not superb, double penetration follows. In fact, the action is just 'nice' and nothing more. Unfortunately, even with Rebecca showing an interest in being double-dicked, the camera angles just don't capture the action all that well (more facial close-ups of the guys and half the penetration shots are from the side, so we just see one of Bardoux's asscheeks with a dick going in and out). She gets her right buttock plastered by Marc's load but Nick just pulls out from under her and strokes himself off, cumming on his hand.
This scene is quite sensual. Tyffany almost appears like a spider, crawling all over prey and devouring it sinfully. Roxanne Blaze quietly came up in the jizz bizz around the same time when young girls like Kelly O'Dell, Nikki Dial, Sierra, and Micky Lynn popped up (but she had the shortest lasting career of them all; now doing B-movies). Miss Blaze is just as fresh faced as the four aforementioned starlets and she didn't choose the last name 'Blaze' for nothing. This girl can be red-hot when she wants to be! Here she displays her more demure side with her partner and while they don't work up a sweat they more give eachother a tantalizing workout that just radiates voluptuousness. Tyffany starts off very gently with Roxanne, gliding her tongue gracefully all over her body. When she dips into her honeypot, she begins to work it more sturdy and makes Miss Blaze writhe in absolute pleasure. Roxanne then crawls on top of Tyff, rubbing her pussy over Million's knee and thigh, and gradually caresses her. They eventually rub their pussies together but Roxanne's not finished with her partner yet. Tyff turns over in the doggy position and lets her friend eat her out from behind (getting her asshole rimmed briefly and loving it). She ends up reaching a shuddering orgasm. Lots of chuckling throughout, these two stars show their fans that not all g/g scenes involve participants who scream in unbridled frenzy.
A heated bathroom bout that could have been better shot, these two go at eachother with enough friction to start a fire but the cameraman practically douses out the flames by using poor angles to capture their lovemaking. Sitting on a toilet bowl (lid down :-), Roxanne reaches another writhing fit under Marc's famished tongue. She eagerly works her mouth on his throbbing member by taking him deep in her mouth, almost deep throating him with each bobbing motion. Then they stand up close to eachother and it looks like Marc's fucking her (like doing a stand-up missionary) but we only see their bodies from the waist up. I guess he was just rubbing his dick between her legs because Roxanne proceeds by putting a condom on him and assuming the doggy position for him to plunge into her. Pretty nice, but we definitely could have used some penetration close-ups! Being the only sexual position they get into, it's quite lengthy but isn't as passionate as it could have been. She then sits back down on the toilet bowl and sucks his dick again (sans condom) with a rather disappointing popshot on her mouth to end of scene. Marc usually squirts a hefty load but not this time, maybe it has something to do with the studio lights reflecting off a fuzzy-glassed window in the background. We only see two or three squirts hit her face and the rest maybe was shot in her mouth (?). She continues to suck him off after, so Miss Blaze proves she most definitely does not shy away from swallowing cum.
CONCLUSION: Great production values and some pretty heated performances make this a decent little feature for couples. If the cameraman only knew how to actually use a video camera, this would have been even better (who wants to watch Nick East's face half of the time??). Tyffany Million exudes passion and sensuality in her two scenes and is the main reason to see this tape. The other women are good (Roxanne Blaze is innocent yet lewd, Rebecca Bardoux is demure yet salacious, and Sharon Kane is mature yet raw) but aren't captured as well as they should have been. Fans of Tyff who want to see her in a more toned down performance, but is still deeply burning with desire, will enjoy her scenes here. The rest of "A Stroke At Midnight" will have you stroking, but keep that remote nearby just in case.
