The Philogynist's Rating:

Starring: Jordan Lee, Stephanie Swift, Roxanne Hall, Alexandra Silk, Alyssa Love, Jade Diamond and Bridgette Monroe.

The story is about how the lives of strangers can randomly intersect. The sex is fun, but no memorable. Lots of oral, a ton of vagina close-ups and a bit too much focus in the way of toys.

Directing is a plus, the script is okay and the camera work is smooth.

The movie stats out with physical therapist Jordan attending Stephanie, who is confined to a wheelchair. Political correctness be damned, I don't want to see a porn stalet having sex being restricted from the waist down. I look forward to seeing those beautiful, feminine lower limbs in motion. If you are going to have a chairbound performer, I would have chosen someone other than Stephanie Swift. Why is it she always looks 100 times better on the box cover? I know the meticulous effort involved with make-up, hairstyle, lighting, etc. are responsible, but damn it, retain something! Please, Steph, you're killing me! (my ranting is over. ) When Roxanne and Alex do the deed, it's at poolside and the ladies really delve into their exploratory natures. This is an early appearance for Ms. Silk and she's at her most alluring. The Jordan Lee and Alyssa Love duo is also a highlight. A lot of close-ups of the action.

Roxanne and Alex together. Alyssa and Jordan. The near Dickensian plotline was a noble effort but the loosely based connections that tie the film together is an uneven success. Still, I liked the attempt.

Stepahie's scenes. The pairing of an avid fan being taken advantage of by her rock star idol had potential, but never came to fruition. And four of the surviving five characters end up with happy foreseeable futures, except Roxanne. She gets shafted. (Figuratively, in case you're wondering. )

A good entry that's definitley nothing special. I rate it a 5 (If you're a fan of fake handicapped sex, and 8. A 9 if you're the American judge.
