In Your Face is the Eric Roberts of pornographic movies. Both are overwhelmed with the tangible stench of a failed promise. In Your Face has the potential to be an outstanding oral only DVD. Look at the cast for a moment. Brittany Andrews, Tina Tyler, Raylene, Christina Angel, Katilyn Ashley, Shay Sweet, etc. The list goes on and on. We've all witnessed them doing their thing before, and we've all seen them do it well. The boxcover reads like the who's who of cocksucking, for God's sake. Yet, they're all wasted. All of them, without exception.

I'm being harsh, but only because I expected so much more. If this were some old collection of loops sold from a bin of cheap compilation VHS tapes, I may be inclined to say it is what it is. But the smart kids are the ones who get punished the most for their bad grades, so In Your Face must, too, pay the piper.

The disc itself is poorly mastered. The image just looks bad, as if getting an image at all was the ultimate criterion for quality control, and the audio isn't much better. We don't often pay attention to the technical side of our pornography, but maybe we should. Just like most meat eaters don't want to think about where their hamburgers comes from, most of us don't want to think about the tedious chores pornographers must endure to bring us what we want to see. In this case, what we see are performers who seem disinterested. The filmakers' boredom makes it's way onto the final product. The ladies appear to know what kind of cheap production they've been cast in and they seem disinterested because of it. And who can blame them? Their male partners often can't get it up well enough to deliver a decent scene. Of course, these guys' defenders may say that it's the woman's job to excite the male talent, and if there's no wood, then the woman is to blame. Perhaps the barometer on my libido isn't calibrated to standard specifications, but we're talking about Brittany Andrews, Tina Tyler, Christina Angel and others of their ilk. Frankly, their presence alone should be enough to get your blood flowing to the appropriate places. So, why are the men so absent? Maybe there was just a gas leak somewhere.

Is it a complete waste? Almost, but I'll try to be a glass is half full kind of guy. Oral only titles are very popular so there's a market out there for one with this many girls giving this many blowjobs. If volume is what you're after, then In Your Face delivers. There's a lot here. Unfortunately, not much of it is worthwhile. But, it's also true that the girls are some of the hottest around. They're just not given much opportunity to prove it.

The good news is that there are a lot of DVDs that do In Your Face's job better, and many of them are very affordable. Look for the Blow Job Fantasies series from Metro. They're much better in every category, and just as inexpensive.
