Going Down & Cumming Out In Beverly Hills Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  3/23/2002

In another of his film parodies, writer-director Dino Phillips/Dane Preston has "cum" up with a winner. Although the acting ranges from excellent (Logan Reed) to excessive (Kevin Kramer) there is a clever plot to set up the sex scenes. I think videos are much hotter when we see characters fuck rather than just paid porn stars. Although I found Kramer's over-the top performance to be not campy, but just bad Jerry Lewis (Is there good Jerry Louis?) he certainly makes up for this as an adept sexual performer, taking both Matt Sizemore and Jack Ryan up his butt at the same time in one of the best double penetrations seen on film. And I love his new Prince Albert. The video opens with a terrific scene: Eric Wood stretching the maid, Michel Mattel, with some very large dildos. Mattel is very accomodating, but he probably doesn't do windows. The second scene with George Fleece and Kurt Wagner goes on too long; and the final scene between Logan Reed and Pete Davos does too. (I thought Davos would yank his cock off before it came.) It would have helped also to have paired Logan with a more attractive guy. My only real disappointments are that there are four fucks we don't get to see: Logan boffing Kevin, the lovers Eric and Kevin making up, Logan having his go at Michel, and Logan getting Rob Franklin to do business with his hosts. All of which start but finish off camera.(Now the last of these would have been the scene to end with!)These cavils aside, it's a damn good film. If only there were an extended "Director's Cut"! Hot Damn!
