Beautiful Lies Review

PREMISE:
Poor Emily... She's an aspiring writer with writer's block and a drinking problem who's stuck at a crummy job she hates- shooting internet smut. To rub salt in the wound, she just discovered her husband is a lying, cheating womanizer and has just run off with her best friend. As a result, Emily is a complete and utter wreck and nearly blows her brains across the bedroom wall with a gun. Instead she resorts to flushing her wedding ring down the john and boozing away her pain. A big bottle of liquor in hand, she falls asleep in the bath and dreams of a beautiful woman...  Who is this mystery woman? And will Emily find peace or be victimized once again by beautiful lies? 

act 1: Maya Devine 
vs. Eric Masterson

Scene Highlights: 
We get an American Beauty reference as the sky rains rose petals, and soon Maya is off to work with a slurping BJ. She gives deep eye contact and Erik holds her head steady to pump into her humid mouth. Reverse cowgirl follows with Maya enjoying herself and Eric tries to take over which leads to a playful slap on his thigh by Maya. Clearly, she wants to be in control, and asserts herself with a moderate paced buck, complete with hip rocking and belly undulating. They take it to the ass next in spoon which culminates in two orgiastic spasms. Anal mish and then a popshot splashed against Maya's cheek and inside her mouth ends the scene.         

Commentary: This is an excellent start. Real life couple Maya and Eric put in a hot performance with an honest connection. The little quirks they have as a couple can be detected- i.e. Maya slapping at Eric's thigh- and I must say it's quite cute and hot at the same time. They just seem so very content enjoying each other. This scene is such a relaxing experience that will get couples in the mood for some lovin'. Your girlfriend/wife will definitely dig this one.          

act 2: Shay Sweet
vs. Kris Slater 

Scene Highlights: 
Kris slips off Shay's black panties so he can much on her box. It's a lengthy pussy licking session and Shay's stud strewn clit gets attacked well and proper. Shay takes over oral duties in a long and driven hand pump and suck. Next, she hops on top of Kris in cowgirl and bounces wildly on his meat. "My pussy feels so good," she tells him before begging for a harder fuck. Missionary follows, leading to a good sized load projected onto Shay's tummy. 

Commentary: The oral work is very nice here, both the pussy licking and cock sucking- especially the cock sucking. Shay has excellent technique, sucking in a quick rythym with skilled handwork. It's very long and drawn out for those who like that. This is a pretty good scene and Kris and Shay are well matched lookwise- Kris' lean body and pretty face matches well with Shay.    

act 3: Brittney Skye
vs. Randy Spears

Scene Highlights: 
Brittney grinds her pussy against Randy's weathered face as he laps at her pleasure points. Of course Brittney returns the favor with a BJ as she gazes up innocently into Randy's eyes. He fucks up into her cunny in cowgirl which gets her bum and thigh jiggling, before adding a few spanks to her booty. Missionary follows this up which leads to a cumshot to the belly.           
   
Commentary: I was missing some of the natural chemistry that the previous two scenes had but this is still a fairly strong scene. Nice prolonged eye contact on the BJ.  

act 4: Michelle B
vs. Eric Masterson 

Scene Highlights: 
Nursing on Eric's cock, Michelle's bum peeks out from underneath her mini skirt, treating us to her glorious curves. "I love sucking this cock," she whispers and then deepthroats it down to the base. Cut to: reverse cowgirl shot and Michelle's huge boobs flap in the air as she rides dick. Her animal moans pour forth along with her dirtytalk as Eric pounds her pussy in spoon. Then he teases her a little with the tip of his cock up her hole before jamming it in there cruelly. She purrs out in pleasure and cums once before they switch into cowgirl. A titty fuck ensues before Eric spews his goo on her face.            

Commentary:  This is an excellent scene. Michelle is an explosive bundle of energy. She does well with the enthusiasm and does especially well with the dirtytalk. For a vaginal only scene it comes off quite raunchy and the connection was pretty good as well.

act 5: Shay Sweet
vs. Billy Glide

Scene Highlights: 
Pussy eating starts us off, and Billy has fun repeatedly darting into her hole with his tongue. Shay serves up another one of her speedy blowjobs and then climbs aboard a la cowgirl to work Billy's cock. She bounces on him greedily, and Billy grabs her ass and kneads it roughly in his hands. Shay follows this up with a lusty doggy fuck, as she pumps back and forth, impaling herself on Billy's shaft. Billy jizzes on her ass to end it.    

Commentary:  Billy gets really fierce with the pussy licking which is visually stunning. It definitely pays off too because Shay gets really horny here. She fucks him eagerly in cowgirl and doggy, trying to get herself off. I liked how she showed the initiative here, it was analogous to Michelle in her scene. Still, Shay doesn't quite match up to Michelle's wild passion.   

act 6: Brittney Skye and Justine Joli 

Scene Highlights: 
Justine eats Brittney on top of her lace panties for awhile before coming into contact with her clitty. Her middle finger probes her as she remarks how tight the hole is. Brittney adds some of her own fingers in her slit to loosen it up and then she applies a vibrator to her love button. Brittney gets a little hungry and remedies that by feasting on Justine. She starts to finger her hard and the girls go into a 69.   
             
Commentary:  I'm not a fan of how this scene was filmed. The shots stayed in real close which is funny considering the many long shots used in all the other scenes. The camera definitely needed to pull back to show off the ladies' full bodies. There were a few good shots- the 69 for example. The energy was pretty good here but the vibrator seemed really out of place with all the pussy eating and finger-fucking. It looks really weird too- like a pincher bug- and I don't think there's anything sexy about a sextoy that resembles an insect.

With the exception of the last scene, Francois Clousot is spot on with the camerawork. I was impressed. The lighting and colors are perfect as well. Hats off for these flawless technical merits.

On the downside, the acting doesn't deviate much from the norm: this is porn and you can expect bad acting in porn. This movie is no different, and the acting fails much more than it succeeds. There are a few good performances though. Maya Devine leads the way with an excellent and sympathetic performance- great delivery of her lines and truthful facial expressions. Her husband, Eric Masters follows closely behind with capable acting chops. Lastly, Randy Spears is a bit over the top but is still right on target in the humor department.  He provides the only comic relief in this dismal and depressing tale. 

So how did the storyline fare?  Well, I wasn't impressed or anything. The story is too much of an archetype for the typical love triangle story. Everything is overly simplified like that and it steers us down the path that we would expect. Still, it somehow has it's charm. Despite the laughable dialogue, Francois Clousot has made a film that has some emotional depth and cleverness. 

And how was the sex? Pretty good I'm surprised to say! There is a lot of natural chemistry and heat to the scenes. The energy never suffers and Clousot keeps the visuals sexy. 

This is definitely a great film to watch with your girlfriend/wife. As a couples-movie it's stronger than a lot of features out there. It's soothing and has the right tone and pacing that will get two lovers in the perfect mood.
