Terrible rom-com
lor_14 June 2024
For the umpteenth time, Scotty Fox and writer Cash Markman deliver an inept imitation of a rom-com, so bad it's bad. Example of Markman's lame dialogue: in a discussion of romance versus one night stands, Alice Springs says to groom-to-be Tom Byron: "There's one thing you're forgetting. Your dick is bigger than your heart". Imagine Katherine Heigl saying that drivel to Dermot Mulroney!

Randy Spears single-handedly ruins the entire picture, almost immediately (thanks to Cash's writing). He's the hero, destined for a happy ending and lasting relationship in the final reel, but he's written and played as a cynical, sarcastic creep from start to finish. Even in a porn context he engenders zero empathy.

Themes of sibling rivalry (with his brother Tom Byron, a successful plastic surgeon -clearly miscast) and finding lasting relationships are bungled, and after the XXX action has subsided, there is preposterous dialogue to round out the story, especially fake in the "mending fences" conversation of Byron and Spears.

Mechanical sex scenes include pure, obvious filler when star Danielle Rogers watches a VHS of co-star Cheri Taylor in a threesome with Peter North and Lynn LeMay, which makes fun of porn. Taylor plays an aspiring actress trying to move from porn to mainstream, and Cash can't resist her name-dropping Suzanne Somers, one of his usual condescending references.
