Audio /Video Quality:
As usual with Digital Playground, the technical aspects are very well done. The audio is clear and well balanced, whether it's the vignette style of the Teenlicious scenes or the gonzo style of the Jack's Teen America series with Robby D. interacting with the girls. The video is presented in anamorphic widescreen and looks very nice. It's well lit and clear with a solid hand on the camera.

The Movie:
#Teens collects nine scenes from Robby D.'s Jack's Teen America series as well as Teenlicious featuring younger female talent.

What You Need to Know:
#Teens is a very solid compilation. The cast is top notch, and the scenes are very well chosen. At the same time, I can't help but wonder why the Teenlicious scenes were brought in at the end. I'll readily admit to being a huge fan of the Jack's Teen America series, which I thought to be the best of Robby D. and Digital Playground's Jack series. It just seemed to have an extra sense of fun to it from the regular series, and the six scenes here capture it extremely well. With the Jack's Teen America series having nearly two dozen entries in the series, often with top barely legal and above talent, pulling three more scenes out of the series to make this just a Best of Jack's Teen America series would have been very nice. Otherwise I would have loved to have seen this release be opened up a little more with something like a few scenes brought in from Digital Playground's Cheerleaders or one of their Babysitters releases. As is, the compilation has a bit of a funky feeling going from six scenes with one style to three scenes with a different style. That isn't to say that any of the scenes are lacking, as all nine scenes are more than strokeworthy with the talent involved and Robby D. behind the camera. The other thing that bothered me a little was this being put forward as a “teen” compilation. Jesse Jane does a great job playing the cute girl next door, but she, Gianna, and a few others are clearly more than a few years beyond being teenagers. This was a bit of a joke in the Jack's Teen America series, so again, making this a Best of Jack's Teen America would have made it work a little better overall. My final complaint is that Digital Playground decided to just go from scene to scene without letting you know who's in it or where it's from. For me a good compilation should sell movies, and if the viewer knows where the scenes came from there's a good chance he's going to check out one of the movies that was featured in the compilation. Here I'd 'think that they should want to either check out some of the Teen America series or Teenlicious, but with nothing there to guide them there who knows if they will or not. All that said, this is still a very enjoyable compilation. Every scene here is a lot of fun and moves at a very nice pace. I think Lacy Heart, Jesse Jane, and Riley Steele turned out my favorite scenes, but I also loved Gianna's cum eating, Shay's story setup, and Shawna's tease. I also liked the extra domination touches of Lacie and Shawna's scenes, and I'm not sure it was ever possible to go wrong with Jenny Hendrix and Sasha Grey with how much each of them brought out of their scenes. #Teens is a very solid compilation that's well worth the purchase.

The Extras:
The photo gallery lasts about three minutes. There's also trailers and company information.

Condom Usage:
None

Final Thoughts:
If you want barely legal girls and a fun attitude, this compilation is well worth picking up.

Note to Digital Playground:
It'd be nice to see you put some of the effort into your new compilations you did in your old efforts letting viewers know where the scenes came from. It doesn't have to be during the main movie, and could work every bit as well in the chapter menu.
