Facile sequel wastes intriguing, tasteless premise
lor_28 December 2017
David Stanley and his director pal B. Skow (why Stanley no longer gets directing assignments is the mystery here) go back to the well for this relatively disappointing sequel to their magnum opus "Daddy's Girls". I coincidentally watched a new "Daddy's Girls" by Bree Mills starring Ryan McLane just before watching this follow-up, and sure enough Ryan was cast in both, pretty much ruining both features. It should be noted that Bree always has step-dads, step-sisters, etc. in her hundreds of crypto-incest scenes, while Stanley & Skow more boldly depict the real thing with characters as blood relatives.

The central incest gimmick was better handled in Part One, which starred Maddy O'Reilly as a blind girl whose weird family and friends plus significant abuse made for extreme black comedy in an Adult context. Maddy returns in a violent opening scene (and cameo at the very end) where she pokes out rival Riley Reid's eye and is duly humped by Riley's dad Alec Knight, getting things started with a bang.

Riley ends up starring, with an eyepatch in scenes that unfortunately cover the same sort of territory as the original film, only Riley substituted for blind Maddy and her fashionable shades. Structure is in a series of flashbacks, as story is being told by Riley to her shrink Anthony Rosano, who predictably humps the jail-bait star at the film's climax (3 hours later) in a bit of role play not authorized by Freud or Jung.

Stanley's poorest writing here concerns a central segment in which hambone Ryan McLane dominates as Knight's boss. To get a promotion Knight encourages his fiancee Capri Cavanni (and more subtly his daughter Riley) to "please" the boss, which results in a three-way sex scene of Ryan servicing both hot stars. Capri was cast in the first film as a prostitute who put on dark glasses to impersonate blind Maddy in Alec's role playing, and it was nice to see her promoted to a leading acting role in the sequel.

Alec's wife Odile has a sex scene and a dramatic reaction to the opening scene of infidelity but is uncredited here. Seth Gamble has a nothing role, just to provide some age appropriate sex, and Knight is overbearing throughout. A brief clip from the earlier film resurrects Evan Stone in the role of Maddy's dad, and the final revelation at curtain, meant to be a dramatic highpoint out of Faye Dunaway in "Chinatown" is extremely poor.

Basically, having porn's number one star of recent years Riley Reid in a major role and tons of sex probably saves the filmmakers' bacon. Especially since fans apparently only want sex, sex and more sex, leaving ambitious story films like this one as rather quaint artifacts nowadays.
