As for telling the difference between the two, the sku numbers for both releases is the same as with the packaging on the alpha case. The only difference in the packaging between the two is that the new DVD-9 version comes with a cardboard case around the alpha case.

The Review


Synopsis:
Amanda (Jenna Haze) is sexually repressed and her college roommate Sadie (Olivia Saint) is the local doorknob (everybody gets a turn) and will do anything with anybody. Sadie gets Amanda to go to sex therapy sessions with her to try and get her to enter the exciting world of sexual intercourse.

Audio/Video:
Big Bottom Sadie is presented with an English 2.0 Stereo track, which appears to be the original audio track for the film. The audio track works well with all dialog being clear and easy to understand. Stereo sound is all that is required by the film as there are no audio effects present or necessary in the film. Elegant Angel hasn't included any foreign language tracks or subtitle options for the film.

Big Bottom Sadie is presented in the full screen aspect ratio of 1.33:1, which appears to be the original aspect ratio for the film. The picture quality present on the disc is good with a sharp clean picture that exhibits no artifacts, glitches, blemishes or pixels. There are a few points where the picture looks to be a little soft, but this in no way effects the viewing experience and most viewers will never notice it. The color levels are correctly set making for an overall great viewing experience.

Special Features:
There aren't many extras that relate to the feature film on the disc, however one of them alone makes up for that fact. There is an excellent behind the scenes piece that lasts for a whopping hour and twenty-three minutes and consists of backstage antics and the production of the film. The behind the scenes piece is well done and alone adds to the disc. There is a photo gallery included on the disc that contains roughly one hundred and ten stills that you flip through. The photos are nicely arranged, but Elegant Angel could have made this extra better by making the different segments into separate galleries. There are two bonus sex scenes included on the disc. One from Lady Fellatio in the Dog House and one from Lady Fellatio 2: Desperately Seeking Semen. There are also trailers included on the disc for Where the Girls Sweat 7, Black & White... A Movie, Heavy Handfuls, Slutwoman Exxxposed, and The Crack Pack.

Navigation:
There are ten chapter stops available from the main menu for Big Bottom Sadie. They are identified by a video clip from the area where the chapter goes to. Unfortunately, the amount of chapters is not sufficient to get to every portion of the film the viewer might want to, but the chapters are acceptable for a means of navigation. There is a time code encoded on the disc for the feature film.

General Review:
After a botched original release for this film on DVD, Elegant Angel has thankfully revisited this title and given the film a much better release. The video and audio problems that plagued the original release are gone now giving the viewer a much more satisfactory viewing experience. All the extras, which didn't have anything to do with the feature film, from the previous release are gone and new extras, of which several relate to the film, are in their place. Basically, Elegant Angel has given this film, with the new release, the treatment that it deserves.

Although the film was intended to be a plot-based film, viewers who like a plot with their porn will feel cheated after watching this, as this film comes as close as possible to being an all sex film without actually being one. There is a plot here, it's just very thin, transparent and gets lost with all the sex scenes in the film. What exists does do a good job of connecting the sex scenes together and giving them a reason to be there, it just isn't up to par with the plots in other feature style films.

Luckily, Big Bottom Sadie fares much better in the sex department than it did in plot development. As far as sex scenes go, this film has something for just about everybody. Viewers who don't like nastier sex might want to skip this one as there are many acts in this film to bother them. Women may get turned off by this film as it often paints a poor depiction of them. For everyone else there is a huge amount of sex scenes, sorry I lost count so there isn't an exact number, that have nice variety to them. Another feature of the sex scenes that I liked is that not all the scenes show everything. For instance there is a great blow job scene in the beginning of the film that has no sex in it. This reminded me of the way porn films used to be where every scene didn't have to include sexual intercourse. Don't worry, there is enough sexual intercourse in the film to please almost everyone.

Fans of newcomer Jenna Haze are going to be absolutely delighted with this film since she is in more sex scenes in this one film than most films have in total. Personally I could have done without the choking featured in the film, but it was minor and not the highlight of any scene. It was also only used in two of the scenes. The sexual themes present in the film are oral vaginal and anal sex with female masturbation, toys, DP, bondage, feet, lesbianism, S&M, ATM, PTM, nipple clamps, suction tubes, choking, anal fingering, whipping, implied urination and the weirdest mechanical sexual device I have ever seen. For viewers who care about such things, there are no condoms used in the film.

The acting is lackluster which is a surprise to me given some of the talent here. In past films both Herschel Savage and Joel Lawrence have proven that they have decent acting ability. But here, not a member of the cast demonstrates any ability to act, except for faking orgasms. Maybe it was due to the fact that those in the cast that can act realized there wasn't enough to the story to bother trying.

The sets used in the film are decent. They are often cheaply made but do what is required of them, which is be a backdrop for the sex that is going on. In some ways, the cheap looking sets made the film better as it shows that the film doesn't take itself too seriously.

The Scenes:
In the first scene, Jenna Haze starts out by masturbating before the entrance of Brett Rockman and Robbie Jones for a blow job before the scene concludes with Jenna masturbating again. In the second scene Jenna Haze pairs up with Joel Lawrence, Steve Holmes and Robbie Jones. The scene starts out with some pussy eating combined with a blow job then moves onto vaginal sex combined with a blow job and concludes with anal sex.

The third scene brings us Olivia Saint, Mr. Marcus and Alex Sanders for some vaginal sex followed by a blow job. Then there is a pussy eating/blow job combo before more vaginal sex. That is followed by anal sex and DP to conclude the scene. The fourth scene features Jenna Haze masturbating. The fifth scene brings us Katee Morgan masturbating before she gives Herschel Savage a blow job.

The sixth scene features Kyle Stone, Layla Jade and Jessica and starts out with some female pussy eating combined with a blow job before going into a blow job only. Then there is a vaginal sex/female pussy eating combo before just vaginal sex to end the scene. The seventh scene features Michelle Raven, Gino Greco and Jordan Perry and starts out with Michelle masturbating. The scene then goes into a blow job and a blow job/vaginal sex combo to finish the scene. The eighth scene features Becca Bratt, Ian Daniels and Tommy Wanna and starts out with a blow job before going into the vaginal sex. The scene concludes with a vaginal sex/blow job combo.

The ninth scene features Olivia Saint and Ernest Greene for an S&M scene that doesn't feature any sex, just whipping and nipple clamps. The tenth scene features Jenna Haze, Ernest Greene and Becca Bratt and is another S&M scene. The scene features whipping, suction tubes, toys, choking and pussy eating. The eleventh scene features Jenna Haze masturbating.

The twelfth scene is a blow job only scene featuring Jenna Haze and Kyle Stone. The thirteenth scene is a lesbian scene with Jenna Haze and Olivia Saint featuring pussy eating, toys and anal toys. The fourteenth and final scene features Herschel Savage with Michelle Raven and Katie Morgan. The scene starts out with a blow job before going into the vaginal sex, which includes some choking. The scene concludes with some anal sex.

Parting Thoughts:
Big Bottom Sadie is a film that has a little something for everyone and this new release of the film fixes the audio/video problems inherent in the original release. I recommend picking up this film if you are a fan of Jenna Haze, like nasty sex or don't like a coherent plot. Viewers who like tame sex, a structured plot and couples may want to avoid this film. Those who put off buying the film upon it's original release due to the audio/video problems should definitely pick up this title now as Elegant Angel has given it the treatment it deserves.

The Review


Synopsis:
Amanda (Jenna Haze) is sexually repressed and her college roommate Sadie (Olivia Saint) is the local doorknob (everybody gets a turn) and will do anything with anybody. Sadie gets Amanda to go to sex therapy sessions with her to try and get her to enter the exciting world of sexual intercourse.

Video/Audio:
The available audio track is a 2.0 English Stereo track, which appears to be the original audio track for the film. As with the video, the audio is lacking in its presentation as well. The audio levels for the dialog are set rather low so you have to adjust the volume from time to time during the presentation of the film. Other than this issue, the audio track is fine for this presentation of the film. No other language tracks and no subtitle options are available.

Big Bottom Sadie is presented in a full screen aspect ratio, 1.33:1, which appears to be the original aspect ratio for the film. The picture quality for the print could have been much better. Although this print is free of artifacts and blemishes and the color levels are correct, it has a soft picture and is plagued by pixilization throughout the film. Given that the film was made this year, there is no reason why the picture quality should be so low.

Special Features:
As far as extras go, Elegant Angel didn't look very hard for things to put on the disc and the worst part is only one of the extras has to do with the feature film. The only extra that deals with the feature film is the behind the scenes photography, called “Big Bottom Sadie” on the extra menu, which contains 30 pictures that you flip through.

As for the extras that don't have to do with the feature film, not much effort seems to have gone into them either. There is an extra called BTS Exxxplosion, which is a behind the scenes piece for Elegant Angel's film Exxxplosion. There is an advert for Elegant Angel's internet presence. There is a photo gallery, called Soft Bonus Pics, that contains 30 photos that you flip through, none of which actually came from the feature film mind you. Another photo gallery, called Twisted Pics, which contains 30 pictures that you flip through if you really want to see them. All the twisted pics prove is that someone at Elegant Angel needs some serious help. There are also trailers available for Anal Angels 3, Sodomania Orgies 4, Sluts With Nuts 6, Young and Tight 3, and Threesome 2.

Navigation:
There are nine chapters available from the main menu, and from inside the film, for Big Bottom Sadie. The chapters are identified with a video clip from the scene that they go to. There is no time code for this film, so the only means of navigating through the film is with the chapter stops. Given the length and style of the film and the fact that the chapter stops don't always go nicely to the next sex scene, the chapters are insufficient for easy navigation through the disc.

General Review:
Big Bottom Sadie is a film hailed by Elegant Angel on the box for being “The biggest feature in Elegant Angels' history.” If it is the biggest feature in their history, they really haven't shown it much respect. With Wicked gearing up its August release of Euphoria and Private getting ready for its August release of The Private Gladiator, this quote comes off looking like a joke on a box with only one extra dealing with the feature film, a problematic transfer and a poor audio track. Maybe it was just bad timing on the part of Elegant Angel.

Now, after reading this opening, don't get me wrong, Big Bottom Sadie is not a horrible film, it's just not at the level that Elegant Angel presents it to be. Although the film was intended to be a plot-based film, viewers who like a plot with their porn will feel cheated after watching this, as this film comes as close as possible to being an all sex film without actually being one. There is a plot here, it's just very thin, transparent and gets lost with all the sex scenes in the film.

For everyone else there is a huge amount of sex scenes, sorry I lost count so there isn't an exact number, that have nice variety to them. Another feature of the sex scenes that I liked is that not all the scenes show everything. For instance there is a great blow job scene in the beginning of the film that has no sex in it.

Fans of newcomer Jenna Haze are going to be absolutely delighted with this film since she is in more sex scenes in this one film than most films have in total. For viewers who care about such things, there are no condoms used in the film. The sexual themes present in the film are oral vaginal and anal sex with female masturbation, toys, DP, bondage, feet, lesbianism, S&M, ATM, PTM, titty clamps and probably several things I have forgotten about.

The acting is lackluster which is a surprise to me given some of the talent here. In past films both Herschel Savage and Joel Lawrence have proven that they have decent acting ability. But here, not a member of the cast demonstrates any ability to act, except for faking orgasms. Maybe it was due to the fact that those in the cast that can act realized there wasn't enough to the story to bother trying.

Parting Thoughts:
Big Bottom Sadie is a film that has a little something for everyone, except for the video and audio quality. I recommend trying it if you are a fan of Jenna Haze, like nasty sex and don't like a coherent plot. Viewers who like tame sex, a structured plot and couples may want to avoid this film.
