Review

Four vignettes, all involving a woman having sex with her step-son. So these are all "older" women, by porn standards.

One really nice thing about this movie is how much female desire there is. The women are the initiators in all four of the scenes, and they seem very much in charge in all but the second. Not in a 'femdom' sort of way, but in a very natural "here's what I want and I'm gonna go get it" kind of way. And the stories, though only a few minutes long, are generally excellent and do a great job setting up the scene that follows.

Unfortunately, the sex does not live up to the stories, except in the second scene, with Simone Sonay and Michael Vegas, which is top-notch. There is great chemistry between them, and the sex is passionate and convincing. But there just isn't that kind of chemistry in the other scenes, and in the first and third we often just felt as if the various sequences went on too long, with not enough varation. The last scene, with Ava Addams and Van Wylde, is better, but she over-acts the sex.

A more general problem is that, while the camera work is generally pretty good, and there are some terrific shots from time to time, the men are frequently out of frame once they start fucking.

Scene 1: A Little Game of Make Believe (Mellanie Monroe and Tyler Nixon, ♀♂)

Toby (Tyler Nixon) has been avoiding his step-mother (Mellanie Monroe) since she moved into the house a few months ago, because he just doesn't want to deal with her. But she finally finds him, hiding in a closet, and asks him to give her his opinion on some tops she bought. So she takes him to her bedroom and starts changing in front of him and asking him about how sexy the tops are, then lies over him and tells him to pretend she's not his step-mom. She says she needs morning sex, and if her husband won't do it, then Toby will have to.

The story lasts about six minutes, so there is about 26 minutes of sex. Nixon is extremely cute as the nervous step-son. The acting from her is not great, though—but it is not terrible, either.

There is pretty good chemistry between them, and they talk a lot while they are fucking. The sex is fairly passionate, too. But somehow it never really seems to take off, even though they both seem to have a pretty good time, and to have a fair bit of just plain fun. Many of the sequences just seemed to go on a little too long.

The camera work is usually pretty good, and there are some terrific shots. But we lose him quite a bit once they start fucking.

Scene 2: My Mom, My Soulmate (Simone Sonay and Michael Vegas, ♀♂)

★★★★★

Time: 29:01

Female Orgasm: Multiple, Cumshot: Stomach

Features: Deepthroat

Michael (Vegas) has met the perfect girl for him—but it's his step-mom (Simone Sonay). He tells her that he wants to "be with her", but she says she doesn't have those sorts of feelings for him. He ends up avoiding her for the next few weeks, which leads to her confessing that she is also in love with him.

The story consumes about five minutes, which leaves 24 minutes for sex. They do a pretty good job continuing it through the scene, talking about how long they have wanted to do this, and so forth. They both seem to have a great time, too, and she has quite a few orgasms.

The sex is passionate and even frenzied at first, as is appropriate to the story.

The camera work is terrific in places, but we lose him for a few stretches, again, when they start fucking. That's the only thing about this scene that is not 'top shelf'. But it is so good otherwise.

Scene 3: In the Name of Art (Shay Fox and Chad White, ♀♂)

★★★½☆

Time: 32:32

Cumshot: Mouth

Features: Analingus, Tit Fuck

The model Chad hired for his photography class stood him up, so he convinces his step-mother to pose for him instead. She is quite nervous about it, but gets more comfortable as he starts shooting her and directing her. He starts arranging her hair, and she sits up and kisses him. "So sorry", she says, "I don't know what came over me". He tells her it is all right and continues shooting her, and she really starts to get more confident. He then starts to arrange her legs, and she grabs him, pulls him onto the couch with her, and kisses him again. He tries to resist, but then decides, "Fuck it, what the hell".

The story, which is sexy if a bit clichéd, lasts about seven minutes, so there is about 26 minutes of sex. She keeps up the story, calling him "son" several times, and referring to herself as "Mommy", but he does not contribute to that much at all until near the end.

The sex is appropriately passionate, and it is really sexy how in charge she is. But there is not great chemistry between them, and some of the fucking sequences got a little monotonous, since there was not enough variety in them. And, while she seems to have a good time, she never seems terribly aroused. The end is completely pornish as well. She even looks over at the camera just before he cums on her face.

The camera work is generally very good, though he is out of frame at times when they are fucking.

Scene 4: Don't Quit Your Day Job (Ava Addams and Van Wylde, ♀♂)

★★★★☆

Time: 26:49

Cumshot: Stomach

Features: Tit Fuck

Ava finds a $2000 check made out to her step-son and figures out that he has been fucking various women in the neighborhood to pay his tuition. She decides it isn't fair that her friends get to fuck him but she doesn't, so she pushes him back against a wooden post and starts to undo his pants. He tries to convince her that's not a good idea, but he loses.

There isn't much to the story, which only lasts a few minutes, but it is really sexy how passionate and in charge she is. And the verbal exchange between them is very funny at times. She carries the story into the sex a bit, but he does not do much to help with that.

The sex is reasonably passionate, but there is not great chemistry between them. She seems to have a pretty good time, getting fairly close to orgasm, though she never does get there. The main problem is that she over-acts the sex, if that makes any sense, and that detracts from the sense of realism.

The camera work is similar to that in the other scenes, in both the good and the bad ways.
