Housewives (Wicked) Review

Reviewed by Zoid  on  9/1/2005

This is the second movie from Michael Raven that I'm checking out. I've heard some positive reactions about it, so my expectation are high.

Feature

Duration: 1 hr 35 min

Housewives has no actual story: it simply raises the question, "What would happen if you could order perfect, artificial mate?", and then presents the viewer with hypothetical scenario in the first half of the feature. The other half illustrates the behavior of various "perfect wife" specimens in their natural habitat. Unlike other Wicked movies I've seen, this one almost entirely consists of sex scenes without too much distractions; only some brief narration in between. With that in mind, you can count that scenes are relatively lengthy by comparison.

Pason makes her appearance in the very beginning, playing the robo-wife who's been ordered via the Internet. Her first scene contains only a blowjob but I enjoyed it because she works the guy to completion without him using his hands at all. That was pretty hot. Score:

In the next segment, Pason takes on Randy Spears who plays the husband. They start things rolling in a bathtub, washing and fondling each other. After this foreplay, they relocate to the bedroom for more serious action. After thoroughly blowing Randy, Pason rides him in cowgirl position. Anal in mish and RC follows. There was even a gape shown. Wow! While having dick in her ass, Randy vigorously rubs her pussy until she cums. In the end, he shoots his load on her face and mouth. The scene was overal nicely shot, and pretty erotic. Perhaps they used too much lube for the anal. It was white and gooey, and at times it looked like I'm witnessing anal cream pie which I might say is not a bad thing to watch, but given the fact there is a condom... well, no matter. Score:

In this scene, whe have Michelle Lay who plays the real wife, and Randy Spears. She comes home and they proceed to have sex. For some reason, I liked this scene a lot. Possibly because Michelle managed to emit genuine pleasure. Wait, that actually makes sense: she was the real thing while Pason was the doll.. but then the doll was supposed to be better. Arrgh.. never mind. Anyway, they start with some passionate foreplay followed by the oral sex, as usual. Some nice touches here: Pason unbuttons Randy's pants and gives his erect dick a few licks without taking off the boxers. They fuck in mish, spoon and doggie positions, and Randy cums on her face and tongue. Again, this was a nice conclusion to the first half of the feature, sex-wise. Story-wise, I can tell you that things didn't work out all that well for Randy Spears' character. Score:

Now we meet Julia Ann who is the "horny housewife". In this g/g scene, she's together with Holly Hollywood. Generally, I'm not really into lesbian stuff, especially in features. It just isn't very believable to me, and this one is no exception. Both women who are of course gorgeous, but also are nearly unreadable when it comes to emotions. They moan -- yes, but it's almost impossible to tell if that's genuine pleasure or part of acting. On the positive note, the location was nice: penthouse balcony (or something) which provided some picturesque scenery shots. Also, there were no toys used during sex, although whether that's good or bad depends on your personal preference. Score:

The story continues with Julia Ann, now solo. She uses various toys to masturbate. That includes using tiny vibrators on her pussy and ass at the same time. So technically, there was anal and even DP. Afterwards, Julia is presented with some real man meat. They exchange oral pleasures, she rides him in rc (sitting in a chair), then doggie and finally mish. The guy pops on her stomach. Not a bad scene overall, but there is very little chemistry when it comes to b/g part. Score:

Final act of the movie involves Audrey Hollander. She is supposed to be the last woman on earth, and don't ask me how that fits into the "housewife" thing because I have no clue. The idea is just that there will be quite many men waiting to fuck her. In this scene, she has three guys at her disposal. While the first guy is getting some, others are standing in the shadows, jerking themselves off. Anyway, in the first sequence, the dude gets blown and then fucks Audrey in mish. He pops on her breasts, wipes his spunk off with clean towel and leaves. Very cute. After that, the second chap gets a brief blowjob, then Audrey rides him in cowgirl position. He also cums on her tits, and also wipes off his sperm with the towel. Hmm.. The last guy decides to be original: after getting his obligatory BJ and some mouthfucking, he goes straight for the ass in doggie position. That's some nerve, I tell you. His load ends up on Audrey's face and in her mouth; it looks like she might have even swallowed some. Well, this scene was certainly very interesting in its design, but the theatrical setting eleminated any kind of sexual heat between the characters. Score:

Final Thoughts

Housewives is in my opinion a reasonably successful effort, but nothing special. The concept is definitely not original one. I remember seeing vintage French flick called "La Femme Objet" that covered topic very similar to this. That said, I like Michael Raven's style of filming. He manages to produce very nice and erotic shots in stylish and moody surroundings. I was never a big fan of Randy Spears. He just isn't very convincing during sex scenes. The female cast is, of course, very good looking as can be expected. Their performance, on the other hand, is not particularly impressive, but I guess the sex (overall) is not at all that bad by Wicked standards. There is anal, hehe. Another thing that I liked that there is a lot of action and that you don't really get distracted by lengthy, badly acted non-sex sequences. Michelle Lay stood out for me here because she seemed to enjoy herself the most. As on all Wicked discs, the extras are very good but to be honest, I've seen better (from Wicked). In conclusion, this one is definitely worth viewing if you're a fan of some of the actresses involved, otherwise it's probably wise to rent it first. In any case, I managed to watch Housewives from A to Z without experiencing strong urges to use FF button. That's a good thing.
