The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is a bit weird, mostly due to the balance. The left speaker had all of the sounds from the performers and the scene, while the right speaker only had music. It gives the movie a very weird balance right from the start, and makes it even harder than normal to understand the European stars as they speak English with a heavy accent as the performer speaker also sounded quite hollow. The feature audio balance also leaves a little bit to be desired at times, as the background noises are sometimes louder than the performers. The video is okay. It’s nicely lit, but is slightly pixelated and even has a bit of ghosting which makes it a little hard to view. Finally there’s a bit of tinting here and there through the movie (especially before the last scene) which is very noticeable.

Music: The music is slow, romantic, and very sexy. Unfortunately, it comes off as a bit loud and overbearing due to it being completely confined to one side of the audio.

Disc Problems: To start with, there’s no time stamp. This always annoys me because I like to jump to specific points in the movie when I watch it later. This isn’t quite as big of a deal here as Smash does do a very nice job with their chapter breaks, but it’s still a bit annoying. My player will return to the place I last stopped watching a movie, so without the chapter break I’m stuck returning to the start of the last chapter I was viewing. From what I understand, a time stamp costs virtually nothing to include, and is one of those standard things I expect every really well done DVD to have. I know Smash cares about their product, and I really hope that this complaint becomes a thing of the past soon.

There’s also wannabe Viagra drug commercials in front of the main menu and before the movie. You can skip them easily, but they’re still annoying. Thankfully, Smash has listened to their customers here and this has become a thing of the past on current releases. Thank you, Smash.

Menus: The menus are nicely done. The main menu has some nice animation, and the chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip from each scene. Once you select a scene, you’re given a second menu which lets you jump to specific sex acts within the scene. The only thing missing is something to let you tell you who the lovely lady in each scene is.

The Feature

Let’s see, this one’s about some blondes who don’t look much of eighteen. They’re gorgeous, European, and seem to like to take it in the ass. If you need more plot than that, you shouldn’t be watching this movie, but I think it was something to do with selling a house.

Scene 1 - Simony, Frank Gun, and Zenza Raggi

When Simony wants to buy a house, she isn’t going to take no for an answer. When Zensa admires Simony’s ass, she smiles and then gets on her knees to warm the guys up orally. She lets Zensa go straight to the A while Frank continues to fuck her face before getting in a little reverse cowgirl anal action. Once her ass gets warmed up, Simony finally lets Zensa have her pussy cowgirl style, right before Frank joins in to DP her. Finally, Simony takes a nice double facial to finish things up.

This is a very hot scene! I’ve heard plenty of people saying great things about Simony, and they were all very well earned. She takes the anal here with the same people most people start their car, and doesn’t slow up. The camera work is a little odd since the guys are barely shown throughout the movie, but you can see enough of them that you don’t feel like they’re not really a part of the scene. This is a very good way to start things out.

Scene 2 - Jasmin Field and Stella Hot

In the middle of a little nude sunbathing, Jasmin brings Stella a dildo from down below on the boat. Stella plays with the toy briefly before offering to share it with Jasmine. They kiss on the boat before Stella works her tongue across Jasmin’s perky nipples. Jasmin explores her softly in return before slowly picking up the pace as they kiss. Stella works over Jasmin with a dildo and her tongue before the girls sixty-nine with Jasmin working on Stella with a dildo. Finally, the scene fades out.

This is a hot scene, but a bit different. It’s probably the softest and most romantic scene I’ve watched out of this series, and the girls do a great job at it. They keep the pace very slow, and Jasmin has the feel quite a bit of the scene that she’s a newbie at girls. It gives the scene a nice feeling, and helped to make it a winner with me.

Scene 3 - Gina Blue, Ditty, and James Brossman

After a little pool, James decides to let Gina play a little stick. They kiss before Gina drops to her knees, not knowing that Ditty is watching them from the doorway. As soon as James sees her, however, he has her come over and join them. They kiss before he drops down to eat Gina and nail her missionary style. He gives Ditty a little action from behind before moving back to spoon Gina’s ass. Finally, James pops across each girl’s face.

This is another nicely done scene. James and the girls have nice chemistry, and they keep things moving nicely. The girls aren’t really into each other at all, which normally turns me off a little. They still stay a little involved here, which helped me stay much more interested than usual. The scene ends up pretty hot even though slightly flawed, mostly due to some of the fun spirit of the scene and the girls both looking like they’re completely enjoying whatever time they get with James.

Scene 4 - Alexa May and Lauro Giotto

After she interrupts his workout, Lauro decides to change the workout slightly to include Alexa. They grope each other before Lauro licks Alexa through her white panties and slides them aside to get a bit closer. Alexa returns the favor with a bit of oral action for Lauro before laying back so that he can bone her beaver. Alexa turns around so he can poke her pucker as well as spooning it. Finally, she gets down to take a nice facial without looking the least bit cumshy and gives Lauro a great lustful look while sucking out the leftovers.

This is an okay scene, and probably the weakest in the movie. Alexa seemed to overdo things a bit at times, although her look at the end raised the scene a notch for me. The bigger problem here is the editing, which seemed a bit choppy and the camera focused on closeups a bit more than I care for. It’s a hot scene, but could have been better.

Scene 5 - Pussy Cat and Mike Foster

When the realtor leaves them to explore the house on their own, Pussy Cat decides that she and Mike should try it out. She sucks on his fingers before bending over to suck his cock while he plays with her pussy and ass. Mike tongues her shaven twat as long as he can stand to before having Pussy turn around so he can fuck her from behind. Mike moves on to spoon each of Pussy Cat’s holes and give her a little reverse cowgirl anal action before decorating her face.

This is another pretty hot scene, and a good end for the movie. I love how Pussy Cat starts the scene, and she keeps it up nicely. The biggest problem once again is the editing, which is a little rough and jumpy. I like to see position transitions, and there basically weren’t any here.

Legal Skin 12 is another hot installment of this very impressive series. The girls all put some very nice effort into their scenes, and I don’t think a single one of them came close to phoning in their performance. There’s a couple minor moments when some of the girls looked a little uncomfortable during the anal, but that’s the biggest problem I could find with any of the performers. The bigger problem was the editing and some of the camera work. The editing was a little rough in places and the camera work every now and then decided to focus a bit much on close-ups. That said, those complaints also ended up seeming fairly minor with the great job the cast did here. Legal Skin 12 is a hot fuck flick with some great anal action.

The Extra Stuff

The photo gallery lasts about three minutes with roughly seven seconds per very nice looking snapshot. Trailers are included for International Booty 5, Pussy Sweat, 2 Young 4U 2, Test Drive, and Legal Skin 11. There’s also Viagra wanna-be commercials and website information.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, group, anal, DP, lesbian, and toys

Raincoat Factor: Very high

Condom Usage: Only for the anal between Alexa May and Lauro Giotti

The Bottom Line:

Currently, many Smash DVDs can be found online for between $14 and $24 with most stores offering them in the $20 range. This one’s a dilemma. The sex is very hot, but the extras are weak and the technical aspects are problematic. If all you care about is hot Euro babes taking it in the ass, then this one’s probably going to be worth the high end, and will give you plenty of replay value. If you want an all around well made DVD, then you’re going to be a little disappointed here and should aim low.

Note to Smash Pictures: Please work on your technical aspects! If they were as good as the sex in your movies, this one would have probably scored a full point higher.
