Cruisers Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  9/14/2002

It’s been five years since Cal Jenson has seen his high school buddies so he has planned a reunion. Cal was a slender good-looking blond in 1989 the year this film was made, and it’s hard to imagine any friend of his staying away for such a length of time. We first see him here out on the patio clad only in a towel with Hans Mueller (who must have transferred from a German high school). Hans was a chunky guy who no doubt had his fans, but I was never one of them. Rod Lance comes looking for them. He tells Cal that he can’t come to the reunion because he has just admitted himself to a drug rehab center. Rod was a tall bleached blond with a good-sized dick. They bid him farewell by feeling him up and taking off his clothes. (Cal drops his towel, too.) Hans gives his lance a lick and Cal goes down on his rod. Both fuck him.

Michael Bowland, a cute kid, arrives just as Cal is on his way to pick up two of the guys for the party. Soon after Cal leaves Andrew Michaels and Terry King arrive. Andrew was one of those straight guys who supplemented their income in gay porn. He was attractive and had nice thick lips that looked good around a cock. Terry was just run-of –the-mill. Of course a threesome develops. Cute Michael climbs onto Andrew’s dick for a ride and then gets schtupped by Terry. This scene was ruined however by very bad visual quality. Obviously this VHS film was not re-mastered digitally for DVD. We view the scene through a reddish haze with occasional green lines running through. This is not the quality we expect of a DVD, and it should not be!

Cal arrives with Brad Weston and Brad’s new lover Guy Charles. Brad says that he and Guy have an agreement that they can have sex with others as long as they do it together. These rules established the three head out to the Jacuzzi where, after a bit of friendly fellatio, Cal fucks Brad bareback! (This scene is all too short. Drop your lube on the floor and you’ll miss it.)

Sometime later, Guy enters the bathroom while Michael Bowland is showering. Two nude guys in a small room is too much of a temptation. They give one another head. (Is that why bathrooms are called the head? Learn something every day.) Guy then fucks Michael. Again this is done without a condom. (Were these two scenes filmed before they decided to opt for safe sex?) But here again the fuck is all too brief! Michael is sitting on the john when Brad opens the door and discovers his lover Guy giving Michael head in the head. Back in their room, Brad has a hissy fit and calls a cab. “Are you coming with me or not?” she asks Guy. Guys agrees to leave with Brad; though why in Hell he would go off with this pudgy queen when he could stick around for seconds with the adorable Michael is beyond me. Perhaps it’s a financial arrangement. Michael blames himself for their exodus and decides to leave too.

The remaining four now move the party into the bedroom where Cal teams up with Andrew and Hans ends up with Terry. They play musical cocks for a bit before Hans fucks Terry and (surprise!) Andrew fucks Cal. Once again, however, poor video quality in this scene detracts from our enjoyment of it.

As these cheap transfers to DVD of 80s videos go, this is one not bad from the sexual point of view and the acting is better than average. It’s a pity that the transfer was not better done, and that the two bareback scenes were curtailed (pun intended).
