Initial Reaction: This is a great porno flik!

Synopsis: This was a really good porno movie. It had a story so minimal it's considered a feature, but if I remember correctly there isn't a nonsex segment in the movie that lasts for more than maybe 2 minutes at most. The story is nothing special. To be honest, I couldn't even follow it because I had trouble making out the accents. I think a lot of the stars were European. This is my first European experience. I've heard good things. But now I know. It is really good stuff! The whole flik runs through with a violin theme arising every so often. The rest of the time (even during dialogue) there is a Kenny G/Elevator music/jazz thing going on in the background. The story moves real well from start to finish. The story was so simple and effective it just pulled us through to the end. It gave me the impression of memories one has of a great vacation. How maybe you don't remember every little detail just the neat/exciting details. That's how this flik flows. It was filmed in Venice, it game me a vacation feel.

Audio/Video Quality: This was terrible. With the audio, it was hard to make out what people were saying. It was too soft. It didn't filter out wind noise and such too. The video reminded me of Dream Quest. Real bad noise and graininess. Not well done at all.

Sex: I thought the sex in this flik was extremely hot. I kept getting turned on throughout the film. Quite a few sequences had panties being removed and general other small things that for some reason just got me all horny and going. There wasn't any one scene I'm gonna flag. But I certainly will return to view some of the sex scenes again at a later time. The main draw was the entire package, though. I think a guy could sit down with his lady and watch this and they'd both have a good time. It kinda had a 9 & a 1/2 weeks sort of feel to it (porno version). It was really neat.

Circumcised Penises: Most, if not all, of the penises in this flick were not circumscised which I was very happy with. I am very angry about the fact that males have their penises mutilated in some countries. Women their clitores in others. The medical argument is BS. But I'm digressing. I very much enjoyed seeing the uncircumcised penises as I wish I had one.

I really enjoyed this one and think it is a good couples flik. I recommend it.
