Higher Education: “Ashlynn Goes to College 2”

Rarely does porn dare to examine college life; usually it goes straight from high school to MILFhood. "Ashlynn Goes to College 2" is different. It deals tenderly with issues of class, privilege, and giving lapdances to gang members.

Review by Gram Ponante

"If there's going to be a rich bitch center of attention," says Margot, Ashlynn's college roommate, "it should be me, God damn it. I'm a delicate snowflake, fuckers."

Ashlynn Brooke's college adventures were too comprehensive to be contained on a single DVD, so we rejoin her as she helps her roommate escape the shadow of her sister Jenny, played by Brooke Banner. Banner is famous around the sorority for the wrong kind of celebrity: a night vision sex tape.

Ashlynn shepherds Margot through rush week at a snooty sorority. As Misty, the head sorority girl, Katie Morgan acts her ass off.

"Do you think my boobs are big? My boyfriend says they're bigger in bed."

Jenny represents the family will that directs Margot to join the sorority or be cut off. What will Ashlynn and Margot do?

Meanwhile, Margot's boyfriend (Tommy Gunn), can't come over because his cable is being upgraded by a female cable guy (Alexis Texas, who looks just like Ashlynn Brooke here). Way to subvert the dominant paradigm! Only when I finished the movie did I realize that the scene just seemed tacked on.

Because I'm famous, I called the movie's writer, Wayne Hentai.

"That scene seemed unnecessary," I said. "Neither Tommy nor Alexis show up or figure in any other scene in the movie."

"It was necessary, in its own way," Hentai said. "Because you get to look at Alexis Texas' ass. Isn't that a reason unto itself?"

The sorority pledges must prove loyalty to their sisters by providing lap dances at an "urban" bar. They don't complain much. I know for a fact it's worse at Vassar.

Monique eases her despair with a bathroom tryst with Misty, who is at first nervous.

"I'm not some kind of thespian," Misty says.

"That joke never gets old!" replies Monique. "Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to move to Massachusetts and get married or anything."

In the end, Monique isn't forced to join the sorority, and her place in her grandmother's will (yes, this movie has a B story) is secured. While these things are accomplished without Ashlynn's direct involvement, we'll give her the credit anyway, because it's her damn movie.
