Model Behavior

The always gorgeous Stormy Daniels takes on the lead role as Debra, a madam to a high end escort agency in Randy Spears's MODEL BEHAVIOR. Overall, it's a generic drama from Wicked saved by some excellent sex scenes. Even though the antagonist (well-played by Randy Spears) is portrayed as a violent stalker and little is held back in terms of his sociopathic behavior, there is a distinct lack of tension or danger because of the languid direction, stereotypical characterization and awkward dialogue. Certain shots seem to have been lifted from Michael Mann's classic police drama HEAT and references are made to Debra's association with organized crime, but the overall storyline remains weightless and forgettable.

All is going well for Debra's business, until her ex-husband (or it could be boyfriend) rears his ugly head via threatening phone calls and madman ramblings. When one of her girls, played by Tanya James is beaten and maimed (all off camera) by Mr. Spears after they meet for "business," Miss Daniel takes revenge with the help of some of her special friends. The boxcover to MODEL BEHAVIOR gives some indication on the climactic comeuppance paid to the villain, which is lifted directly from KILL BILL, VOL. 2. Again, it's all somewhat interesting, but not really involving.

However, it's not all gloom and unpleasantness in this movie. Before all the real problems begin, we are given the opportunity to see Stormy in action with Jack Vegas, followed by an affair between Charisma Cappelli and Eric Masterson, and later Kayla Paige with longtime director Brad Armstrong. Though the action is straightforward and overall unremarkable (condoms are used, and there are no anal scenes, threesomes, or even the requisite lesbian get-together), there is an unmistakable passion and sensuality on the part of all the female performers. They truly give definitive meaning to the term "girlfriend experience" in their line of work.

Even if all the couples-oriented affairs sound like a let-down, I absolutely can recommend MODEL BEHAVIOR just based on a single scene alone, which entranced me like a Stormtrooper under a Jedi mind trick. Stormy, looking dazzling in a low-cut summer dress enlists the help of Rocco Reed for her little problem. She casually unbuckles and pulls out Mr. Reed's cock for a slow, sensual blowjob underscored by her delicate moans and smacking mouth. She eventually jerks himself off and takes a sizable load on her tongue which is squeezed (but not spilled) between her lips. She then looks up, smiles, and swallows it down. Immediately thereafter, Stormy cleans him off with her tongue, and then licks the remainder off her hand before the scene fades to black. It's a simply terrific oral performance, well-acted and well-shot. Though swallowing is now commonplace in porn, there's just something about a woman as classy looking and as hot as Stormy who can make it all seem extra special. The act actually looks like an intimate gesture of lust, as opposed to something a pornstar wannabe would do on a dare or for a paycheck.

Video and audio quality on this standard definition DVD is fine. I've complained before about too many Wicked scenes looking too dark, but luckily, the scenes with Stormy are bright and clear. Extras include an excerpt from THE LIFESTYLE featuring Miss Daniels and Tony DeSergio, as well as a Behind The Scenes segment which runs about 19 minutes. I've seen Stormy star in (not to mention direct) much, much better films than what's offered here, but it's her carnal talents which make MODEL BEHAVIOR worth picking up.
