Miles' Rating:

Starring: Paul Thomas delivers another biting couples video that is more erotic, more stimulating, and more interesting than most of the whack-off juice out there. While the plot is simple and straightfoward, the emotions and sexual games are anything but. Jon Dough plays a dress shop manager marrying into money. His Italian finacee, N'J De Bahai, is a stunner, but somewhat cold around the edges. One day Dough encounters trashy loud-mouth Kaitlyn Ashley who he turns down for a job, but cannot shake from his mind. He's a man marrying into millions but snared by trailer trash.

Solid writing and an explosive performance by Ashley makes this unforgettable. If there's a problem it's that Thomas has no idea how to pad out this intimate tale. A precursor to the better "Marissa", we spend much of the film's first half at Dough's engagement party, which transforms into an orgy.

Kailyn's character is a fireball who blows away all the other girls, including sexy newcummer Bahai. Ashley's brazen eroticism powers the film.

The hotel fuck between Dough and Kaitlyn is among the best Thomas have ever directed. He understands both characters and their motivations, and the actors deliver without a phony beat. Dough is pensive but starved for her kind of animal heat, while Kaitlyn is a wildcat. The bit with the condom is classic.

Thomas seems unsure how to wrap it up, so it ends abruptly with a few plot-strings left untied.

A 9. Still it's brimming with winning moments.
