Audio/Video Quality: The picture wasn't the absolute best I've seen
from Wicked but it still rates well above 95% or more of the rest of the
movies released by other companies. At times, there was a slight reddish
tint to the video but these moments were generally only noticed after my
third viewing of the movie. The audio had a couple of spots were it seemed
as though dubs were used but again, the problems won't be noticed by most
people. The music wasn't much of an attention getter for me.

Body of Review: I first watched this one during a Memorial Day porn-o-thon and thought it was excellent! Since then, I've seen it many times and still feel the tingle a good porno is capable of bestowing. It had everything I like about porn-babes, great sex,
high end production values, and a sense of humor-all rolled into a well
mastered dvd.

The movie is basically a spoof on the porn industry as seem through the
concept of the popular book series "For Dummies". How many of us have
browsed the bookstore and seen the large number of books in the
series-everything from Computers For Dummies, The Internet For Dummies, all
the way to Home Buying For Dummies with everything else inbetween? As a
comedy, it could only be properly directed by Jonathan without taking the
risk of it sucking goat turds. Who else could Wicked have trusted to get
this one right?

Regardless, Jonathan brought all the right elements into play to turn in one
of his better comedies to date. Not a single filler scene was present and
not a single clockwatching female performer graced this effort. Okay, enough
ass kissing on my part, here's the scene breakdowns by cast:

Scene One: The movie started with the beautiful Serenity blowing Ian.
I don't think there was much chemistry between them but the scene was still
very well done. I've watched it several times and dislike Ian so it must be
good.

Scene Two: Zana, looking more into the action than she did in her
first performance in New
Girls In Town took on the massive Lee as part of her screenwriting
effort for a movie. She had some stretchmarks so those of you who are turned
off by a gal looking like she's in heat, enjoying the sex, and totally into
her performance yet has some minor blemish will want to skip this one. I'm
pretty critical of such things normally but she was good enough to make me
overlook the flaws. Fans of anal action take note that she took him all the
way in her ass without a second thought.

Scene Three: No porn movie is ready until financing is secured. Rob
gives yet another hilarious performance in his nonsex role before the trio
of Lola, Nina, and Kyle get busy. Nina is from Texas so you can expect her
to deliver the goods and Lola's probably never been lousy in a performance
so lucky old Kyle wins-as do we. Yum!

Scene Four: Friday, a good looking gal who was left out of the
boxcover credits for some reason, took on Jason and Pat as part of a casting
couch scene. It had anal, a DP and ended in a sploogy facial. The sex was
good enough that I wanted to see her on Saturday and Sunday as well.

Scene Five: Serenity and Kylie showed me that the director will
frequently disregard the script at this point. No matter as this first time
scene for them together was well done. I like both of them so there's no way
I would've hated it unless it was so badly done that I thought they recorded
it with the help of Leisure Time or Extreme Associates. Luckily, the
production values were typical Wicked here and not like those others. It was
obvious that the ladies wanted to work together and it showed.

Scene Six: In this last scene, the focus was on editing. After a
funny bit with Anthony and Kaylynn, we get to see Alexa, Serenity and Randy
do the deed. The sex was at least as well done as any of the other scenes
but watch it before you listen to the commentary track as Jonathan was
working out issues on it in regards to Alexa. (although it was funny as heck
to listen to)

Summary: What could I write critical about this one? The women were
hot, had fun, and all other aspects of this movie contributed to my
enjoyment. It didn't hurt that I bought it on sale but it's well worth the
going rate since it has such fantastic replay value. If I would have changed
anything about it, I'd have added a scene on dvd mastering and perhaps
marketing/reviews but those can be saved for a sequel.

The current online price of this one is currently a bit high but if you like Serenity, Jonathan's directing
style or Wicked's past features, you really need to at least rent it. I'll
be keeping my copy and enjoying it whenever I need a laugh or hot scene to
pick my mood up.

Note to Wicked: While I would've liked the commentary to include
Serenity, David was a good counter balance to Jonathan. Other minor details
would be for you to include the non-sex roles in your credits. Otherwise it
was one of the best dvd packages I've come across in awhile. Thanks!
