Miles' Rating:

Starring: Toni English creates a hot little number that asks the questions: What if every pick-up line worked? What if every lie spun to snag a partner for a night acted like a magic charm? In this bar, Bobby Vitale and Julian tell Taylor Hayes they're gangsters who take pussy for payment, while Tony Tedeschi gets into Katie Gold with a ruse about being a spy. Then Chloe drops with her own spin and lands on vitale's cock.

This is an obvious cheapie all set in one bar. English makes it watchable by keeping the characters firing verbal sparks that eventually ignite when the partners can no longer hold back. This is as much about liars as those willing to accept the lie.

Look at the cast: slithery Taylor, the sex-mad Chloe, and the game Racquel Devine. These girls alone make the scenes simmer.

It proves that old formulas can still work. Tedeschi and Gold tangle in a bathroom (shades of Henri Pachard), while Taylor, Felecia and Charlie engage in a lesbo fantasy on a pool table. It's familiar stuff we never tire of seeing.

But English never expands the premise beyond the bar, and that's a drawback. As hot as it is, the plot is undernourished.

A 7. Watch it for Taylor, Chloe and the gang.
