Notes

I don't know a fair way to set the value for the movie. Gay movies are priced too high, so until the studios get the message, I'm always listing the value as $25.00.

Description
Very young guys play together outdoors on a farm.

General Impression
I liked this one. Without the doofy narration by a horse and a few violations of my pet peeves (such as instant replays of cumshots), I'd have given it five stars. But who cares about the narration? There are some great scenes here.

Other than Ashton and Christian, none of the guys had done a film before. And their fresh, unjaded approach was unimpeded by coaching from the director. He basically just set them out in a field on a very private farm, and let them do as they pleased. There's a refreshing lack of posturing for the camera. Also, how do I say this delicately - these guys are young and they don't fuck like pistons for four hours, so the scenes have a lovely variety of kissing and foreplay, sucking, and relatively brief fucking at various paces, giving the scenes a non-mechanical feel.

The director used a very balanced proportion of close-ups and distance shots, and he made great use of the fields and streams, and birds and trees.

I liked the second scene better than the first, and the third scene rocked. The last scene is a group scene, and those generally aren't my thing, but I liked this one.

Sex
Brendan and Cristian steal a few kisses between chores, as they go about their rounds feeding horses and brushing them. Then they kiss and undress in an unhurried way, exploring each other on a blanket in a field. I was impressed by the untrimmed pubes, un-airbrushed acne, and unmanicured nails. Nice, real, ordinary boys. During their unselfconscious play, a lube bottle magically makes itself available, and Christain fucks Brendan in mish, while Brendan strokes himself to cum. The fucking is relatively brief, the scene is relaxed and genuine, with a nice urgency and rawness.

Austin walks along a country road, wearing glasses and carrying schoolbooks. Chase slows his car to offer a ride, but the two of them park and walk to a bridge over a creek, where it is eveident that they can't keep their hands off each other. Austin oozes enthusiasm as he sucks cock, and sucks cock, and sucks balls, and sucks cock some more. Then Chase fucks Austin in standing doggie -- we learn from the director's commentary that this is Austin's second or third time, so there's an appropriate gentle pause and hold at the beginning. The scene has a nice intimacy to it.

My favorite scene involves Ashton and Enrique, who are offscreen boyfriends. Right away, you can see their easy familiarity and their longing for each other. As Enrique is sucking Ashton's dick, Ashton mischievously withholds his dick for a moment and there is an amazing and endearing look of sheer enjoyment on Enrique's face. Kudos to the director for being able to also capture the look of wonder and awe on Enrique's face as Ashton licks Enrique's dick through his briefs. The presence of a camera usually all but guarantees that these nuances will be lost. The two guys look like they can't believe their good fortune, with tender touching and great eye contact throughout the scene. Ashton fucks Enrique in mish, pumping Enrique's dick at the same time. And the boys can't stop themselves from drawing closer, swooping in for kisses. A truly lovely scene.

Catching our breath after that unbeatable third scene, we get to see a nice POV of Bryce sucking Chase's dick. And some gentle talk and interplay between them as Chase mounts Bryce in a flattened doggie. Chase does indeed seem to be a very sensually aware guy, and this scene has a tender, unscripted ending.

Michael Dillon then entertains us, putting on a show with an enormous dildo. Caught in the act by Brendan, he ends up being the center of attention for a fairly killer group scene which also involves Ashton and Enrique, Bryce, and Chase.

Extras
Extras include a photo gallery, previews, bonus footage, and an excellent director's commentary (yes, it's somewhat repetitious, and yes, he drools a lot over the boys, but he also does a good job of keeping it moving and giving some valuable little insights).

Summary
If you don't object to young and sweet, go get this one!
