You go back, Jack, do it again...
Imagine if MTV took "The Real World" or "Road Rules" and made an X-rated version of it. If they did, they might come up with something quite similar to Jack's Playground 2, the second volume of Robby D.'s new gonzo series in which the director plays "Jack", an aspiring music video director who seems more interested in shooting porn than he does shooting rock videos (lucky for us!).
The title gives us a nice mix of both familiar adult faces and newcomers, and we start off with two very recognizable faces - those of Belladonna and Evan Stone. Apparently, Evan and Bella are reading over a script preparing for a shoot, and Jack wants to capture them rehearsing on film. This, of course, leads to Bella and Evan making out with one another, with Evan taking her in the cowgirl, missionary, reverse cowgirl and doggy before popping his load into Bella's mouth.
Jack runs into blonde-haired Alyssa Lovelace, who takes Jack back to her place for some posing in front of the camera. Alyssa doesn't do anything more hardcore than teasing us with her body, but it does make one eager to see this blonde beauty in a more hardcore scene in the future.
The Jack's Playground titles also take time to engage in little humorous skits between the sex scenes - some of which work, and some of them which don't, depending on the viewer's sense of humor. One bit that does work - in a silly kind of way - is the appearance of "Mini Elvis" in Jack's Playground 2. I'm not sure who the actor was, but I suppose I should thank him...thank him very much...for providing a few laughs for this reviewer while watching the title.
Jack finally looks like he's going to be doing a bit of scoring himself when he takes young Brooke back to his place for some action. But who should interrupt the fun, but Eric "The Cock Blocker" Masterson, who distracts Jack by telling him there's a hot blonde out on the street - then moves in to take Jack's place with Brooke by the time Jack has made it back to his apartment.
After Brooke's sex scene with Eric, Jack visits his friend Celeste (Bunny Luv in a non-sex cameo), who introduces Jack to the lovely, dark-haired Nika. Jack makes up an excuse to get Celeste out of the room, then convinces Nika to strip and play with herself in front of the cameras.
Those looking for a bit of girl/girl fun should be happy with the next to last scene in Jack's Playground 2, which pairs two hot blondes by the names of Kelly Marie and Lonnie, as they lick, finger and use a clear glass dildo on each other on a couch.
Some more familiar faces to porn viewers pop up for the final scene - the sizzling August (who has dyed her hair blonde since I last saw her) and Barrett Blade. This is a cute scene as Jack meets up with Barrett outside a video store, and Barrett shows off his "pimpin'" skills by giving Jack a lesson on how to pick up chicks. Back at his place, Barrett gives it to August cowgirl, missionary, reverse cowgirl and doggy - then ends the scene by jerking off on her face, in what well may be this title's best pop-shot.
As for extras, this DVD comes with a photo gallery, a nice selection of trailers (including one for this title), and the standard chapter selection and contact information you'll find on most releases.
Once of the nicest things Digital Playground has done with this DVD (as well as the first volume of Jack's Playground) is that they have taken the time to provide viewers with a widescreen anamorphic transfer of the movie. In addition to the great picture, the soundtrack is in 5.1 Dolby - so the Jack's Playground volumes may be the only gonzo-themed titles out there with the kind of quality that is usually reserved for only a select few adult feature releases.
Jack's Playground is definitely aimed at the 18 to 30 porn-viewing crowd, although this mid-thirties reviewer enjoyed it as well. If you're looking for something hip, cool, fun - yet still quite sexy - be sure to spend a few hours with Jack on his "Playground"!
