Hollywood Guru Review

Reviewed by Tongue in Groove  on  7/12/2004

“Hollywood Guru” is a couples flick featuring some decent talent and okay sex action, but it could put a stroker to sleep quickly. The predictably soft music throughout is an insomniac’s best friend. It even plays during the Behind the Scenes bonus feature. Zzzzzz.

The movie employs Adam & Eve’s traditional camera work, that is, lots of Playboy Channel shooting. There are more shots of the couples kissing and fondling then there are of close-ups of actual penetration. There are no anal scenes and no facials in director Nicholas Steele’s effort. In other words, invite Mom and Dad over to watch. It’s that vanilla.

Forget the plot. It’s inane and hard to follow. Suffice to say, Steven St. Croix plays an enlightened man who spreads happiness to everyone he meets by reciting lines such as “Truth is at the river.” He wears a smock straight from the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour album collection.

As for the sex, pretty blonde Taylor Lynn does a g/g with Lauren Phoenix; Phoenix takes on Randy Spears; attractive brunette Giselle gets our guru, St. Croix (in a weird scene that includes some special effects that look like x-rays); Joey Ray slips it into brown-haired Natalia Wood; and Lynn finishes things off with Tony Sexton.

The DVD includes two bonus scenes – a g/g between Aria and Monique Alexander from “Extreme Behavior”; and a g/b/b with Nicole Sheridan, Sean Michaels, and Voodoo from “Erosity.” There is also a Photo Gallery, Website info, and Previews. No condoms were noticed.
