Thighs Wide Open (VCA) Review

Running Time: 113 min. (cover says 93 min.)

Production Date: June 2000

Director: Fred J. Lincoln

Cast: Chloe, Bridgette Kerkove, Maya Divine, Justine Romee, T. J. Hart, Charlene Aspen, Evan Stone, Randy Spears, Ronnie Coxx, Kyle Stone, and Eric Masterson

Initial Expectations: Chloe in an adult version of Eyes Wide Shut ? I’m already shouting Fidelio at the DVD.

Initial Reaction: It’s really good and although it doesn’t go as nasty as Chloe can, it does pushes some limits for VCA.

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally very clear but there is some unevenness. The video is clear but shows some grain. It’s also very bright.

Music: The music is well balanced and a mix of funky, classical - like, and typical porn music.

Review: Thighs Wide Open stars Chloe in the Nicole Kidman role and Evan Stone in Tom Cruise’s role in a rip-off that might have Kubrick rolling over in his grave. Chloe and Evan play a married couple who’s reached a lull after being married three years. Evan wants to explore things sexually and Chloe doesn’t want to go beyond the missionary position. Chloe has become so cold that her biggest concern is how she looks. She even goes back to touch up her makeup after Evan gives her a tiny kiss. At a party at Evan’s boss’s house Chloe meets Randy Spears who invites her to a sexual party where they help people become more sexual. Although initially turned off, Chloe decides to go at the last minute where her thighs are opened wide.

Bridgette Kerkove, as Evan’s boss’s wife, takes Evan aside and screws him after giving him a talking to about calling 1-900 numbers on company time and using the company phone. Evan resists at first but with Bridgette looking very hot and Chloe ice cold it doesn’t take too long. Although I sometimes don’t care much for Bridgette, she and Evan do a great job together on the pool table. Most notable about this scene is a very long 69. It’s something that’s seen in porn but not a lot and rarely for this length. Unlike most of Bridgette’s scenes, there’s also no gape in the anal sex which makes this a lot more couples friendly than I expected. The main thing that had me scratching my head is something where I was definitely looking at the wrong thing. Evan is wearing cowboy boots. How in the heck did he get his pants off over them?

After meeting Randy Spears at the party, Chloe asks him if he thinks she’s sexy. He doesn’t think she has the confidence to be sexy and to show her what he means he pops in a videotape of Charlene Aspen and Ronnie Cox gardening. No, he doesn’t trim her bush. She does however help his beanstalk grow before giving it some revitalizing saliva. Yes, that means that Charlene gives Ronnie one heck of a hummer. Charlene’s also very vocal when she’s getting fucked and it really turns out to be a hot scene. I’ve never cared much for Ronnie, but he does a decent job here and pops nicely on Charlene’s face.

Arriving at the party, Chloe appears to have a little trouble remembering the password Randy gave her. She keeps coming out with things like ‘fornication’ and ‘fellatio’ as she thought they sounded like more fun. Of course, this leads to a scene between Randy and Chloe which takes place on the stairs. Randy tests her throughout the scene which is amazingly long. The foreplay alone lasts about ten minutes with the entire scene lasting roughly twenty. It’s great that the scene lasts this long as it’s a really hot scene. Chloe does her normal amazing job and I’m surprised that somebody didn’t get hurt by her having orgasms on the stairs. I’d think that OSHA would get involved with a shoot like that. She and Randy finish the scene off with a great facial.

After joining the party, Eric Masterson and Maya Divine give Chloe her first ‘lesson’ on heightened senses by having a completely blindfolded fuck while everybody watches. There’s no talking between them in the entire scene with the exception of a little moaning. The entire scene is based on touch, and Bridgette is so moved while watching with Chloe that she can’t resist touching Chloe a little. It’s a pretty good scene but nothing too fancy. It’s a nice variation and it keeps the couples feel very well.

Wanting to expand her horizons a little, Chloe approaches T. J. Hart by the pool for a little lesbian loving. T. J. isn’t interested in training somebody in but Chloe won’t take no for an answer. As soon as Chloe and T. J. get started Bridgette decides to join in as well. This is by far the nastiest scene in the movie and very hot also. Chloe takes a total of ten fingers from three hands in her pussy and Bridgette takes six fingers in her ass. There’s no toys here, but with that many fingers they aren’t needed. The women had great chemistry together and it helped to make it one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

For her final lesson, married couple Kyle Stone and Justine Romee get their wish by having Chloe watch them have sex. This scene also is helped out by great chemistry between Justine and Kyle. Strangely, Kyle never has a pair of panties around his neck, but that’s easily forgiven. Surprisingly, the sex stays pretty hardcore and Justine never takes Kyle’s cock in her pussy. Meanwhile, Chloe sits on a chair at the edge of the bed and watches while playing with herself. Every now and then she stretches up a little to watch them. The camera angles are very well done in the scene and help to make it one of the hottest scenes in the movie.

Finally, Evan comes home to find Chloe ready to go in the kitchen. He readily mounts her on the kitchen counter in another scene without vaginal sex. Chloe really comes out in this scene and has great chemistry with Evan. The lighting is a little low, so the scene also has a little more romantic feel. This is the Chloe that people pay money to watch and this scene shouldn’t disappoint any of them. It does a great job of showing Chloe’s opening up sexually and she really puts her ass through the motions. Everything comes together very well in the movie, as well as Chloe’s end.

Surprisingly, the plot in Thighs Wide Open really moves the movie along. Yes, it’s a porno and the sex is right there, but it all fits in very well with the plot. Of course, the plot wouldn’t really mean squat here if it wasn’t for Chloe and her talent as an actress both with her clothes on and off. Through each scene you can see her open up sexually and getting a little nastier and more open each time a guys cock pumps into a lady’s ass or pussy. It’s what the movie is about and it never forgets it no matter where it is.
