Synopsis
The story revolves around an actor named Harvey, who is played by Randy Spears. Harvey is a man struggling to find future success while dealing with issues from his past. Spear’s character is a bit of a playboy, and the story revolves around his personal parallels to “Don Juan”. I won’t give away the story, but it is a fairly silly plot.
What's Hot
There are some cute costumes and outfits worn by the ladies.
The missionary anal between Chris Cannon and Dasha is actually quite nice.
I hadn’t seen Melissa Hill for awhile, interesting to see her again.
I thought Dayton was smoking hot in this movie. Her hair looked sexy, nice nails, etc.
What's Not
The story didn’t do much for me.
I don’t really like movies with condoms as well, too much like my current real-life situation.
I felt the sex scenes could have been better developed. The potential for more heat was there.
I wish Dayton’s scene with Ian Daniels wouldn’t have been split up, could have been a great one.
Spears, Spears, Spears, love him or hate him, he is in almost every scene.
Play By Play
Below is a detailed description of each scene:
Scene One - Sky and one guy (Randy
Spears)
This scene looked like it was going to be a great one. The scene takes place on a boat. Sky comes into the cabin looking awesome; I loved the bikini she was wearing. Sky gives Spears some nice head and puts in good work on top. The cumshot was decent, but not great. It is a fairly enthusiastic performance, but this scene was way too short for my liking. It ends back outside on the deck of the boat with Spears dressed and Sky lying on her side masturbating. I didn’t care for the finish much, this one under-achieved.
Scene One Rating:
6.25
Scene
Two - Renee LaRue and one guy (Randy Spears)
This scene takes place in a cemetery, after the funeral of one of Harvey’s rival actors. Renee looks pretty hot here, the sexy outfit adds to the scene’s heat factor. Renee gives Spears a pretty nice BJ. They then go at it with Spears bending her over next to a tree. There is then some good cowgirl action and an average facial to finish. Those who like outdoor scenes should find this scene appealing.
Scene Two Rating:
6.50
Scene Three - Dasha and one guy
(Chris Cannon)
This scene is a flashback sequence, with Cannon playing Harvey twenty years earlier. It gets off to a lame start with some of the silly “Don Juan” banter, but gets stronger. I have never really a fan of Dasha, but she looks good here, strong body. The scene goes through both parties giving each other oral satisfaction. They then move through the doggie and mish positions. The enthusiasm here is pretty good, some decent heat. The hottest part of the movie sexually is the missionary anal that serves as the finishing position. Dasha looks awesome during this act, she is very sexy with her legs up in the air. I must admit this scene was a pleasant surprise, but must add it did end with a weak cumshot on her belly. This scene’s rating and raincoat appeal would have gone up considerably had it finished with a nice facial. It is enjoyable, especially for those Dasha fans out there.
Scene Three Rating:
7.25
Scene Four - Melissa Hill and one
guy (Randy Spears)
I was excited to see Melissa again, but was a bit disappointed in the end. I think that this scene suffered due to the story involved. Melissa had found Spears washed up on the beach after a storm hit his boat. Harvey plays his usual ladies man act, and we find that Melissa’s character is married. The kicker is that she is still a virgin. This is a weak angle to me, I guess it goes along with the story, but I found it to be really goofy. They go through oral, and some decent sex. They both masturbate a little to finish up, with Spears cumming on Melissa’s ass. I promised to not go into the story much, but Melissa’s husband (Mike Horner) shows up and is killed by Spears in the ensuing fight. DUMB.
Scene Four Rating:
5.50
Scene Five - Gwen
Summers plus one guy (Randy Spears)
This scene is kind of a throwaway scene to me. The costumes work against the heat here, and the action is cut way too short. Gwen is cute, and I feel this could have been better. The problem here is the same as the previous scene, the need to add to the story trips up the sex. Spears is getting Gwen from behind to start the scene. They then move to cowgirl, and Gwen does fairly nicely. The scene finishes with a Gwen giving Spears head and taking a facial. The enthusiasm and performance isn’t bad, but it could have been better. The heat could have been turned up a couple notches easily.
Scene Five Rating:
5.50
Scene Six - Dayton
and one guy (Ian Daniels)
I have always thought that Dayton was cute, but she out does herself here. The waitress outfit she is wearing, her hair, fingernails, everything is working. I thought she was on fire in this movie. The ratings relating to Dayton in this movie are probably higher than I would give her in other roles. The only problem is this scene is split into two segments due to plot reasons. I have made note of it in the previous scenes, but this story works against the sexual heat. This segment between Dayton and Ian contains mutual oral acts, but is interrupted by Dasha’s character (who is also Dayton’s mother). Then to top it all off, we find that Spears character is Dayton’s father. Dayton was giving a nice BJ before she was cut off, so this will still score decent due to the fact that it is finished later. I would have preferred one longer hot scene.
Scene Six Rating:
6.50
Scene Seven - Dasha and one
guy
(Randy Spears)
The former lovers reunite and this scene turns out fairly nicely. I thought that Dasha looked better in the scene with Cannon, but she still looks good here. Dasha gives Spears a nice BJ, and then they go through several positions on a table. I really liked the part where Dasha was bent over the table getting it from behind. The scene ends with a pretty fair facial. There is some considerable heat and enthusiasm here. This is one of the better scenes overall.
Scene Seven Rating:
7.25
Scene Eight - Dayton Rains and
one guy (Ian Daniels)
This scene picks up where they got cut off previously. Dayton bends over and gives head to a seated Daniels. Did I already mention that Dayton looks great in this movie? I think that was covered before. They then run the gamut of positions on the counter of the diner. The cumshot is on her belly, but even that cannot ruin some nice work between Ian and Dayton. Good scene, the best I have seen from Dayton. Once again, I probably wouldn’t rate Dayton as high in many cases. I just felt she was on in this film.
Scene Eight Rating:
7.75
Starlet appearance: 9.00, Starlet attitude and personality: 8.00, Sexual Heat:
8.00, Raincoat appeal: 6.00
Everything Else
I did not go through and watch all of the extras, but there is a considerable amount of material there. There are several bonus scenes and picture galleries. The material would appeal mostly to Dasha fans, as she is featured in much of the action. There is also behind the scenes and a position gallery where you can skip to your particular interest. Solid stuff.
Last Word & Final Tally
I know that Paul Thomas is highly regarded, but I don’t have to like it. This type of movie takes a lot of extra work to make and I don’t understand the need. There is always the classic "couple’s movie” excuse, but I don’t buy it. I feel that only the inexperienced couples buy or rent this type of movie. The couples that watch a few movies and learn usually end up watching the same type material as the average male fan. I have seen this from experience with renting and selling to couples in an adult store. This type of material may break the ice, but it leaves something to be desired in the end. The story really takes a toll on the heat factor of the sex involved here. If someone wants to make a “movie” that’s fine, I just believe that the ego of the director should not allow the scenes to become short or broken up to feed his story. The two bad scenes in the middle of this movie cost the overall rating significantly in the end. We all know that at the end of the day, sex scenes are why these DVD’s move. That said, this still was not bad, it just could have been better.

Second Opinion?
Harry Ola writes that this movie is a "suspenseful and seductive experience". He also says the cast is "fantastic" and there is lots of great acting. He cited the Melissa Hill scene as the best. In sum, he says this is a "top notch" film with "flame throwing" and a story that "keeps you interested." Overall rating: 4.25 / 5.00 (ADR)
Don Houston says this flick does "merit watching" and has some replay value. However he was concerned about technical matters (grainy picture and color problems). He recommends it to fans of Dayton & Dasha. Overall "movie" rating: 2.5 / 5.00 (DVD Talk)
