Lisa and Craig 2 Review

Reviewed by astroknight  on  1/6/2010

The Little Details

NOTE: This is an amateur video. Amateur and homemade movies don’t have the budget nor the resources of studio porn, and therefore rarely get close to the same quality technically. I’m rating this DVD on the same scale, but most homemade or amateur features would rarely make it above a 3 on the standard scale I use for studio porn for their technical aspects. The performers also aren’t normally the ‘glamour stars’ one expects from studio porn, and instead use people who look like somebody you might encounter in your day to day life. Finally, the camera work has a different feel, as it’s often shot from a tripod or with somebody who doesn’t have the technical training or experience of professional cameramen. That said, amateur and homemade features have a great charm to them, simple because the people in them are doing what they’re doing to have fun and because they enjoy it. All the things that separate them from studio porn contribute to that charm, I hope people will keep that in mind when checking out this review and not just look at the ratings as the ultimate word on this release. Since the technical aspects are normally lacking and there normally isn’t much for extras in amateur features, I’ve weighted my overall rating more heavily towards the sex than I do in most studio porn.

The Short Story

Initial Expectations: It's a Shot at Home release. How could I not have high expectations?

Initial Reaction: It's a very nicely done homemade release that should really please fans of true homemade porn as well as being a great release for those curious about homemade porn to check out.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of homemade porn or those who are just curious about it, as well as cream pie fans

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting nasty sex

The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty good. The audio is clear and well balanced, and although there are a couple background noises they're all pretty mild. The video is presented in the full screen format, and looks pretty good. There's a little camera motion and some focus problems, but that's nothing too unusual with homemade porn.

Music: None

Watermark Warning: Although the normally don’t bother me much, there is a small and tasteful watermark warning that stays in the lower right corner. This made it very easy to filter out for me, and quite honestly, I didn’t notice it unless I thought about it.

Menus: The menus are pretty simple. The main menu keeps Shot at Home’s usual style with their logo and a photo from the movie. The chapter menu is also simple, and lets you choose where to go in the movie based on six clips from the movie.

The Feature

Lisa is an Asian hottie with a few tattoos and a pierced navel. Her man Craig also has a few tattoos, as well as a video camera. Thanks to the camera we get to see the fun they like to have at home.

Lisa comes out of the shower wrapped in a towel and a little surprised to find Craig waiting with the camera. She gives him a few little glimpses before tossing the towel aside, and then buries her face in his shorts. She pulls him out to suck him a bit before pulling his shorts all the way off, and then tries to see if she can suck him all the way in without success. Lisa moves up to ride Craig cowgirl style before turning around to ride him reverse cowgirl style as he admires and lightly plays with her ass. Finally Lisa moves off and Craig pops on her ass and his hand.

This is a very nice opening scene. Lisa is cute, and I love the straight from the shower sex. The tease is nicely done, and although the sex is simple it works very well and has the great feeling of reality that makes so many homemade movies work for me. This is a good start to the movie.

As Lisa checks herself out in the mirror, Craig moves up behind her and checks her out as well. Lisa moves a hand down and into her panties to start playing with herself as she stands in front of him, and keeps rubbing as she moves to her knees. She rolls to her back to play a bit more, and finally gives herself a nice little orgasm.

This is another good scene. It's definitely on the short side, only lasting about three minutes, but also uses its time well. The action never seems drawn out and Craig captures it nicely. This is a simple masturbation scene, but also a nicely effective one.

Lisa starts out the third scene sitting on a bed in a black dress before a fully naked Craig joins her from the other side and quickly moves in to kiss her. Lisa gets on all fours and Craig disappears for a few moments before coming back to rub her pussy and slap her ass a few times. He quickly moves into a hard doggie fucking for her. It doesn't take long before he pulls out and grabs the camera to come back and show his seed running out of her pussy and down her leg.

This is another nicely done scene. I like the harder edge to the scene as well as the cream pie ending, which I'll admit I wasn't expecting. Part of the surprise was that the scene was only five minutes long, but it's a nicely done quickie and the cream pie appears completely authentic as well as being enjoyed by both of them. This is a hot little scene.

Lisa starts the fourth scene in a black sports bra and panties on the bed drawing Craig in for a kiss. They grope each other as they kiss passionately with Craig stripping Lisa down first so he can worship her body orally. He lets her have a small bullet vibe that she lays back and puts to work on herself before briefly playing with him as they strip him down. Lisa lays back for Craig to fuck her missionary style before getting on all fours so he can fuck her from behind while pulling her hair. They go back to fucking missionary style, and finish up with Craig once again popping inside Lisa and then grabbing the camera to admire his handiwork as Lisa lets his seed flow back out of her pussy.

Not surprisingly, this is another nice scene. Once again the cream pie is very nicely received, and the action leading up to it is drawn out much nicer than in the previous scenes. I love how you can feel the love between Lisa and Craig as they kiss and play with each other, and it makes the cream pie feel like a completely natural ending. The only thing that makes it better is Lisa's reaction as she's collapsed on the bed afterwards. This is easily one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

Lisa starts the penultimate scene laying on the bed in a white t-shirt and pink panties as Craig reached in from off-screen to run his hand around her panties. It doesn't take Lisa any time for her to slide a hand into her panties to play with herself as well, and soon after they're stripping her all the way down with Lisa asking for her toys. She moves around to give the camera a better view while lightly rubbing herself while Craig brings her a decent sized pink double dong, and puts it right to work on her pussy. Lisa fucks herself nice and deep with the toy, and rolls around to let Craig fuck her from behind with the toy. He adds a small red buttplug to the mix that he slides in and leaves as Lisa continues to fuck herself with the double dildo both on her knees and on her back. He helps her a little more with the toy as she lays back before finally pulling the toys out with Lisa looking very satisfied.

This is a great solo scene. Yes, I know Craig's involved so it technically isn't a “solo” scene, but he's involved so little that he almost comes off as a cheerleader through the scene as Lisa works her holes over. The scene has a very nice pace and I love the addition of the small plug and how it stays a part of the scene rather than becoming the focus on the scene. This is a great masturbation scene with some great couples play built into it.

Lisa starts the final scene laying on the bed in tall tan Uggs, a grey longsleeved tee, and her panties as Craig moves in with the camera. She immediately starts playing with herself for him and strips down to her boots while giving him plenty of tease. Lisa warms her pussy up with her fingers and a small silver bullet vibe before Craig moves in to kiss her while rubbing her pussy, and he makes sure to mix in a little pussy play and titty sucking as well. Lisa sucks his cock in return before letting him fuck her missionary style, and then gets up to ride him reverse cowgirl style. They slow down a little and roll to the side before Craig gets off the bed, grabs the camera, and moves in to show his baby batter dripping out of Lisa's coochie.

This is a very nice scene, and once again a great cream pie. I really like how once again Lisa and Craig took their time getting started, as well as the toy play to get things started. Once again there's a great natural feeling to the sex, and it all feels every bit as real as homemade porn should be without the sloppiness or comfort with the camera that sometimes skews things one way or another.

Lisa and Craig 2 is a very nice homemade porno. Lately I've been enjoying how many couples have been seeming to have a lot more familiarity with the camera, but Lisa and Craig reminded me of just how enjoyable the basics are. There's nothing wrong with their camera skills, but unlike some of the other homemade movies I've been watching lately (and I don't mean this as a negative for either faction), their action seems fresh, natural, and personal to each other with the camera capturing their sex and love rather than making the camera a high tech sex toy that often seems like it's a part of the sex. There's great chemistry between them, and they always seem like they're having fun without going overboard about it. Of course, the cream pies were a major draw for me to check this one out, and they definitely didn't disappoint as each one seemed completely real as well as enjoyed. They also played into the sex here very well as it enhanced that natural feel to the sex rather than having Craig pull out and spray his load all over Lisa's face. If there's any complaint here, I'm guessing it would be by those new to homemade porn as there is a very basic (in the good way) feeling to the sex and how it's captured. At the same time, although some might get down on the release for it, I think it does homemade sex at a very nice level for those curious about homemade porn to step into it here. Lisa and Craig 2 never gets too wild or tries to set the world afire, but it has such a basic and natural feeling that I couldn't help but enjoy it.

The Extra Stuff

As usual with Shot at Home, there's a preview reel lasting about a half hour.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, amateur, Asian, masturbation, cream pie (vaginal), and toys

Raincoat Factor: High

Condom Usage: None

The Bottom Line:

Currently, most of Shot at Home's DVDs can be found on their website for around $20. This one's definitely worth the money for homemade porn fans. The sex has a very nice variety to it, as well as an extremely natural and real feeling. The technical aspects are well done for homemade porn, and as usual with Shot at Home there's a touch of effort put into the extras. This is a very nice homemade release.

Note to Shot at Home: Thank you for putting such consistent care into your product.
