Sunny McKay + Jon Dough [cowgirl, doggie, missionary] - No anals, no dps, no facials This was the second movie of Sunny McKay's I had ever seen and with a stunning full-body photo of her with one leg up on a recliner, wearing black heels, a gold jacket and giving a rather innocent look with almost-fierce eyes that is lit up with her golden curls hanging down her round face, how could I possibly pass up the chance to rent it? (I was working in a video store at the time anyhow, so no money was wasted). :-) I was disappointed. :-( The quality wasn't all that great and the color was dull, almost faded. The performances could have been a whole lot better, too. Resources were wasted completely (that's if you want wild action, for couples appeal this may suffice but just barely). The story of this not-quite-up-to-Henri-Pachard's-usual-efforts revolves around a golden shawl (that's shawl, not shower [grin]) that has been passed on from decade to decade with a bit of a story connected to each event. We watch as the years pass by (from 1944 to the present time) and in the end, the worn out shawl has served its purpose. The movie opens up on a bedroom (Jon's? But it's the same bedroom used in the final scene, which is Sunny's) and we see the two of them, playing characters by the names of Donna and Roger, mostly undressed (Jon in underwear and Sunny wearing a pink-colored nightie, or is it orange - can't tell exactly with such bad coloring). Donna calls Roger a slob, they kiss and she begins to suck him off. It's rather slow, with mild head and shaft tonguing. Suddenly, she has a condom on hand and secretly puts it on Roger, who notices it soonafter and gets pissed off. He tells her it's an insult to fuck his girl with a condom and she tells him that she's not his girl or else they would have discussed marriage (??). Almost as if being a master, Roger demands that she take the 'fucking thing' off of him and with that, Donna says (with her cute Australian voice), "Nice knowing you stranger" and heads out. The next day (or a few hours later?). Donna is jogging through a park when Roger approaches her (from hiding behind a tree) and she pushes him away, telling him they're through. She says he won't give her what she wants, so she'll just have to find it someplace else. Later on the phone, Donna is speaking to her friend Judy (we don't see or hear anything at all of her) and she starts to talk about her frustrations over Roger and the two years of her life she wasted on him. The subject changes to some 40's party they will be going to and Donna tells Judy she bought a shawl from some thrift shop (the 40's party being some kind of costumed event) and she admires it, thinking about the simple life the first girl who owned it must have had. Cut to 1944. Gracie and Frankie (Sunny and Randy West respectively) are in their bedroom, preparing for sleep. Frankie tells her his life flashed before his eyes out at World War II and he thought he'd never see her again. She undresses (and yes, she was wearing the shawl) then sits down on the bed where Frankie goes on about the images he had of her when his life was at risk; they were making passionate love. They being to make love themselves, but it's nothing more than dull except for the climax when Gracie cowgirls Frankie before he cums. The long blowjob at the beginning is nothing more than FF material, as well as their missionary poke where the bed was the only thing making any noise. Gracie jerks Frankie off and they kiss. Present time. Donna is jogging in the same park again when Roger pops out from behind the tree to talk to her. He asks her if she would accompany him to the 40's party but she tells him it's over between them. Later on the phone with Judy, Donna goes back into her wishful thinking over the past lives of the women who've owned the shawl. Cut to 1954. Sally and Chip (Michelle Monroe and Randy Spears) are necking on Sally's couch while her parents are out. They look like the typical 50's teen couple; Chip's wearing a white t-shirt and jeans and has his hair slicked back and Sally's wearing a plaid skirt, white blouse and has her hair up in a ponytail. They look like just came back from the malt shop, having shared a milkshake and maybe dancing to some jukebox tunes. They caress eachother while kissing very softly. They are also chewing bubble gum, blowing small bubbles from time to time. Sally has the shawl on and when Chip tells her how pretty it is, she tells him it was her cousin Gracie's shawl; the one she lost her virginity in. Speaking of which, Chip asks her if she's just about ready to lose hers but she refuses, only wanting to after they're married. Randy's portrayal of Chip comes off as a more smooth-talking, persuasive, kind of conning personality of the Fonze from 'Happy Days' but without the voice and macho arrogance. He slowly gets her to take off her skirt and blouse and eventually give him head. Sally still seems a bit hesitant through it all, and even more so when he begs her if he can 'only stick the head in'. She gives in and he slowly penetrates his cockhead inside of her, missionary style. He picks up the pace and eventually fucks her. She squeals, "No! We're not supposed to be doing this!" but he tells her he's got everything under control, so she shouldn't worry. Her biggest worry is getting pregnant which she faces the possibility of when he cums inside of her (a fake orgasm from Spears, most probably, but it looked real). Sally's parents come home, knocking on the door, and Chip splits. After another bout of Roger hasseling Donna at the park, we cut to the next event in the life of the shawl which is 1964. Sally (this time played by trashy-looking Suzi Bartlett) and Pam (Iesha) are sitting on Pam's bed discussing things like drugs and lesbianism. The two girls almost look like hippies (Iesha more so than Suzi) and their attitudes seem flake-ish like they're stoned or something (I say bad acting). Sally passes the shawl onto Pam and tells her to keep it because she's a love child, she's special. Once Pam wears it, the two girls move in closer and being to kiss. A very boring girl/girl scene develops, each girl sucking the other off then doing a 69. Pam's boyfriend Shadow (Sean Michaels, wearing an afro-wig) enters and goes on about the bad day he had. To relieve his tension, he joins in on their little get-together and after the girls suck him off, Pam fucks him RC-style then he fucks Sally doggie style. No real heat is developed at all. Everything's just basic, if not flaccid. A weak cumshot on Sally's asscheek ends the scene. Another phone conversation with Judy gets Donna to thinking about the 70's and this time, 1974, we find Frankie Jr. (Randy West), Chip Jr. (Randy Spears) and Pam sitting around in a living room. I'm still a little confused, but Frankie Jr. is the son of the couple from 1944 and Chip Jr. is the son of.. well, it isn't Sally's son because Pam acts like it's the first time she's ever met him. Anyhow, some of you watching this movie may not even reach this point. They start talking about making a list of all the people they've ever fucked but the guys decide their lists would be too long. Pam's list grows two notches longer when they decide to fuck right there, but wait a minute. Where does the shawl come into this event? A-ha, Frankie Jr. notices it and makes a compliment to Pam and even recalls that his mom had something just like it when his dad went off to war. Pam decides to give the shawl to him to give to his mother, which might bring back some memories. Ok, now they fuck. Probably the liveliest of all the scenes, they smile and laugh and seem to have a good time. There is no anal or dp involved here. Iesha's pretty and the three of them work well together. Cumshots on her pussy and left tit end the scene. Back to the park, Roger, in a desperate state, tells Donna that he'll marry her. She's disgusted and tells him she wants someone who'll marry her for her; not because they feel forced or dragged into it. He begs her to give him one more chance.. and she does. This final scene takes place in the present time, of course, but it is the 90's. (Even Donna mentions earlier in one of the park clips that it's the 90's, so obviously nothing much happened to the shawl during the 80's). Donna looks pretty, with the shawl around her shoulders, and Jon looks like a helpless chap who's finally coming to terms with himself. They make love, first by giving head to eachother. In their cowgirl position, you can tell Sunny tries to match her wild-stallion routine that brought the only spark to her scene with Randy West earlier, but it doesn't work well. They suddenly switch to doggie, then missionary before Jon cums all over her chest which, had he given her a facial, might've turned out to be one of the monster-type variety. His fingers dripping with cum, Roger suddenly has the shawl with him, as if he wiped his hands with it and tells Donna that he's sorry about it, he just got carried away. She forgives him and says that the shawl has served its purpose. End of movie. What does this movie have going for it? Well, all the women have natural breasts and the stunning box cover makes your decision to rent it tempting. What does this movie fail to provide? Heat. Most of the material in this movie will work much better with your remote control. Such a shame, though, since 3 or the 4 women were cute-as-a-button, but they were put to complete waste. There's tons of Sunny McKay, but instead of shining bright she barely fizzled. Director Henri Pachard was probably rushing through it but considering many of his other, better works, he can be forgiven this once: but why did he have to do it with this movie when, if the script had been stronger and the quality better, it could have launched Sunny's career sky high? When you've got promise on your hands, Henri, work with it and develop its full potential. When you slip up, that only results in a complete waste of time, many disappointed fans and viewers, and an Imperial rating of 0.50. [email protected]
