Running time:2:16 (feature), 8mins (bonus)

On the one end of the lesbian video spectrum you've got the Porn Star, super-glossy set piece stuff which is very pretty to look at but is as staged and stylized as a Noh play; and on the other end you've got the amateur or near-amateur stuff like Abby Winters puts out, where the girls look the people you'd meet at the grocery store and they wear hardly any makeup, there's no plot, but the sex looks very, very real.

This is right smack in the middle.

Eight girls in four scenes, each a twosome and no repeats. The girls are pretty (Anita Dark has a killer smile and beautiful, glassy eyes). The sets look fairly realistic. Photography is clean and the camera work is straightforward. There's no annoying music and I can hear things clearly. A good middle-of-pack presentation.

The sex is pretty much what you expect: a short bit of dialog to set the scene, then strip for action. There's a bit more kissing and caressing than the super-glossy, super-glamour stuff you see in, say, the Where the Boys Aren't series, but far less than an Abby Winters title. There's a little breast sucking and play, but mostly you're going to get a lot of cunnilingus and finger-fucking. Moaning and carrying-on, which in bad movies is usually loud enough to set off nearby car alarms, varies here depending on the girl. Some are loud, sore are more sedate. A middling amount.

There is a decent mix of girls here, within reason. They're all caucasian, though Sochee Mala is dark and exotic, but the rest are blondes and brunettes. Boob size runs from smallish to largish, but nothing really big or small.. The girls are pretty but most could pass for thirtysomething MILFs, and if you like your skin tight and creamy and without blemish, you'd best look elsewhere.

There are a number of chapter stops in each title but no submenuing.

Special Features: The bonus section is 8 minutes of trailers for other titles, so it's up to you whether it's really a "bonus" or just a glorified advertisement.

Final verdict: Good but not great. Solid but unexceptional.
