Commentary:
This is one of those DVD's that I have seen teased as a video for quite some
time on the back of many trade magazines. The cover work is tremendous with beautifully
sexy pictures of Jenteal, and the caption..."Shot on location in Jenteal's pants..." Quite the
cum on I may say! I quivered (just a bit) with anticipation as I placed this disc gently into
my player, as I would my tongue on the sweet lilly white skin of Jen...oh, sorry, I was
looking at the case for a second there. Now where were we? OK, so I put the disc in and
settle down with pen and paper in hand, just dying to plop a ruler on this one (and a load as
well, if the occasion presented itself!).

The plot is simple. A lone lady longs to have sex. Evidently, she's been lost on some
ethereal world and can't be seen by the beings she cums in contact with, except for a few
of them. Occasionally. I think...OK, so it's not exactly clear what the hell was going on. But
this I am sure of. A lot of people just disappear out of the scenes. Jenteal has sex, and
poof. A big piece of bad editing and they disappear! Well they're supposed to disappear, but
it actually just looks like they stop the camera, run away, Jenteal stays relatively still, and
then, "Action". The person magically goes away! Looked like a 6th grade film class edit!

Anyway, during all this, Jenteal narrates what is going on with a rather poor voice over
that added to my dismay. This is a 69 minute version of the 80 minute film, so beware, I may
have missed the gist of things because I didn't see the gist!

From a sex standpoint, it's strictly "couples" quality. A few nice three-ways that kept my
interest for a bit, and some really sexy girls (Jenteal by herself, Alexandra, Stephanie in a
G-G, and Missy especially), but not enough of the truly nasty for my tastes. Look for a nice
Alexandra Silk poop chute shot with Mr. Wallice that perked me up a bit, but not much more
of the really hard stuff many of you have written to tell me you like. The scenes were just
"nice" enough to keep my guy safely tucked in the V-pouch of my "Intimate Male" briefs.
Nothing to get way excited about.

So from soup to somewhat unsatisfied nuts, this was a disappointment. I loved the cast,
but the plot, and action were too tame for an experienced bishop bopper as myself. This
reminded me of one of those Paul Thomas artsy films that AVN gives an award to. Vivid has
hit some home runs with me lately, but this one was playing softball. I'm off to watch
Sin-a-matic...let's hope for the best...

From a DVD perspective:
Shot on film in a fabulous location, the flora was outstanding.
Some nice angles during some of the scenes, but also interspersed with some distant
romantic views. I did not notice any artifact or pixelation to speak of, and the lighting was
good, especially for being shot outside.

Sound was of minimal importance, with little dialog, and average music. Two channel
stereo.

Extras were outstanding as usual. Don't short change the multi angle views.

Intangibles:
Vivid has such a plethora of titles to draw from you're bound to cum up a little
short from time to time, depending on folk's tastes. This one wasn't for me. A romantic
couples film, maybe. If she's watched enough porn, she may just be bored though.

The stars will deceive, so I give this minus 1 bonus star for making it hard for me to stay
that way...

I bought this DVD after seeing its cover
and after watching the film I saw that
buying a film by looking at a cover does not
help.Anyway it is not a great VIVID title.
Jenteal acts great as always but only
in one or two scenes.She just walks around throughout the film.Sex scenes were average.
Only the feature was great.And locations where the film was shot were outdoor.This adds a film
a little bit excitement.
There r more great VIVID titles than this.
If u like Jenteal buy this...But if u like sex scenes do not..
