Review

Jessie and Dale have their new neighbors Lily and Richie over for a barbecue. Lily turns out to be an old girlfriend of Dale's, who is "deranged", he says, and who turns out to be from his previous life, so to speak. She has Richie seduce Jessie, then pretends that he beat her up so she can get to Dale.

The acting is kind of lame, really, but the camera work is fantastic. It's hard to say why it is so good, but it is very realistic somehow, and the way James Avalon shoots sex here is quite different from how Nica Noelle shot sex for Sweet Sinner.

The sex is quite good, but the framing provided by the story really doesn't do that much for it. It's hard to enjoy people having sex when they are also ruining their lives.

More time is spent on the story here than in the other Sweet Sinner films I've seen, all of which were directed by Nica Noelle. About 27 minutes or so is devoted to the story, in fact, which is probably twice what would have been normal in the other films.

Scene 1: Jessie Andrews and Dale DaBone (♀♂)

★★★★½

Time: 20:30

Female Orgasm: Yes, Cumshot: Stomach

Couple have sex in their bed.

The sex here is very passionate and romantic, with excellent communication between them. Everything feels very spontaneous and natural, and Jessie has two or three orgasms.

The camera work is outstanding, too, with a lot of wide shots and plenty of both of their faces.

Jessie, as usual, is really loud and kind of wheezy. That's just how she is, but it can be a bit distracting, to be honest.

Scene 2: Lily Carter and Richie DeVille (♀♂)

★★★★☆

Time: 20:00

Female Orgasm: Multiple, Cumshot: Pussy

Features: 69

Couple have sex on their bed.

This is acrobatic and somewhat desperate sex, with good but not great passion. It is more 'fun' than 'romantic'. There is some connection between them, but not a lot. The sex is pretty hot, though, and she has five or six orgasms, but the scene is not particularly special, really, and it gets a little monotonous through the middle.

The camera work is very good, but I found it hard to connect with them.

Scene 3: Jessie Andrews and Richie DeVille (♀♂)

★★★★☆

Time: 22:00

Female Orgasm: Yes, Cumshot: Pussy

Features: 69

Richie seduces Jessie, as part of Lily's plan to reconnect with Dale.

The sex is pretty passionate. There's a decent connection between them, and they seem to have a good time. Jessie "only" cums once in this scene. (Perhaps she was all cummed out from the previous one.)

The camera work is great again. We lose sight of him a little in the middle, but this is entirely due to the position.

Scene 4: Lily Carter and Dale DaBone (♀♂)

★★★★☆

Time: 22:30

Female Orgasm: Multiple, Cumshot: Pussy

Lily more or less tricks Dale into having sex with her, by pretending that Richie has beat her up.

The sex is here pretty passionate, and Lily has four orgasms, but this scene is definitely the weakest of the four. There just doesn't seem to be that much of a connection between them. The communication is all right, but they aren't convincing as old lovers, and the sex is predictable and a bit monotonous.
