Audio/Video Quality: Not The Brady Bunch XXX: Pussy Power was presented in a crisp, widescreen using a 1.78:1 ratio as shot by director Will Ryder for X-Play Media. The resolution was 1080i on the HD version of the movie and the codec employed was the usual AVC. The bitrate on the feature tended to hover around the 17.4 Mbps mark when I spot checked it, the solid lighting making all the action clearly observable but leaving no doubt at all that the high definition version was the best. One of the things many directors have trouble with is properly lighting sitcums or features, especially when they are going to be compared to mainstream projects such as this one, but this was not an issue this time, Tim Studley's lighting making it easier to shoot the scenes. There were very few visual elements that were not very much in tune with making the movie look mainstream and the DVD appeared to handle them very well. Scott David as Art Director and Co-Producer again elevated the title substantially, providing the proper counterbalance to Ryder's dedicated visions of the shows. The editing by Mark "Nick" Dawop at Copper Digital (AKA: "the sixth floor guy" who also handled a variety of other technical aspects on the movie once again) was as solid as ever, the end result in a class by itself. The audio was presented in the usual 2.0 Dolby Digital English using a 192 Kbps audio bitrate and 48 kHz sampling rate. The vocals were decently recorded with few moments sounding like they were dubbed or otherwise looped. The theme song invoked memories of the mainstream hit, adding to the fun.

Body of Review: Every time Will Ryder & Scott David release a movie, it is big news thanks to their keen eyes for detail and dedication to making the best porn parodies (also known as sitcums) via X-Play Media. Rather than take the cheap route, cut all the usual corners, and goof on those in mainstream, they go out of their way to "do it right" via casting, costuming, and writing with the end results such that any honest awards are a given. Their latest title is called Not The Brady Bunch XXX: Pussy Power, the third in the series featuring a few new cast members and yet another delightful homage to a television series so many people have loved over the years. Unlike others, I don't want to spoil the plot for you but rest assured, the amount of replay based on the characterizations is second only to the sex thanks to performers like Tanner Mayes, Kacey Jordan, Lexi Belle, and Dylan Riley, among others. The back cover described the movie like this: "The movie is packed with super sexy young girls giving it an adventurous teen-vibe just like the original TV series. Rounding out the new cast members are Nicole Ray, Ashlyn Rae and the much-talked-about sex kitten Tanner Mayes who carries a certain controversial magic with her. Eric John plays the perverted school teacher giving an entirely new meaning to the word homework and Seth Gamble plays Ridgedale's all-state quarterback. The rest of the stellar ensemble cast returns for this new episode including Alana Evans, Kacey Jordan, Lynn LeMay, Mike Horner, Kris Slater, James Deen, Mickey Butders and Ron Jeremy as Sam the Butcher." Here's a brief look at the scenes by cast and action, noting that no condoms were used for those still interested:
Tanner Mayes
Scene One: Tanner Mayes, a brunette spitfire with a lean body and a good attitude about making men happy, was up first as she showed Jan how to break out of her shell and become popular. This started off the sexual activity in the movie with a solo masturbation scene. She leaned back on the bed and spread her legs, her striped panties parting to allow the neon pink vibrator access to her coochie. Tanner lubed herself up as "Jan" watched and took a few minutes to go at it, tasting the juicy results.
Nicole Ray and Ashlyn Rae
Scene Two: Lexi Belle, the cutie seen on the upper left hand corner of the front cover, was up next as "Marcia", the gal home alone with Seth Gamble as a horny quarterback in desperate need of a blowjob. Lexi got on her knees to please, slobbing his knob with the greatest of ease. Her hand to gland deep throating work was done largely in POV fashion, her eye contact enhancing the moment as she savored the experience of inhaling the pecker presented to her. This led to him going down on her and the couple vaginally banging with an active nature and some taste testing to boot. The inevitable nut of genetic juice went to her face and the appearance of a young couple banging was adhered to, fitting right into the way the series handles chemistry-filled pairings.
Kacey Jordan and Dane Cross
Scene Three: Tanner Mayes, the hotty from the initial solo act, was up next as a sexually charged gal in need of seed with James "Peter" Deen. Her tight jeans hugged her sweet hips as her ass went into the air during the tryst, her lips wrapping around his cock as if she was on a mission to milk his nuts dry. She kept eye contact and some of the footage was shot in POV fashion, James reciprocating briefly before nailing her vaginally on the floor. Tanner has always looked happiest with a cock in her mouth rather than riding one but she did make an attempt to have some fun during the penetration to, receiving the wad of population pudding stroked off to her face with ease as she choked it down.
Dylan Riley as "Jan"
Scene Four: Nicole Ray and Ashlyn Rae, playing a couple of family friends on the living room couch, were all over Mikey "Bobby" Butders in the next scene. They seduced him as the trio kissed on the couch, pulling off his pants in order to double team his dick orally with each gal eating out the other when the time came. He savored their young bodies too but the emphasis was on them servicing him until he began banging them vaginally. The ladies were willing, hot, and always into the action, sharing the facial he rubbed out their way.
Media Thanks
Scene Five: Kacey "Cindy" Jordan, dressed in what looked like a "Sailor Moon" styled outfit, was up next on the couch trying to persuade Dane Cross that she would be the best choice to take to a concert (the poster of the group mentioned in previous outings hanging on the bedroom wall). Promising to rock his world, she took off her top to reveal tiny titties and dropped down to start blowing him, the modest member easily fitting into her hand and mouth. Some of the material was shot again in POV fashion, her enthusiasm fueled by the desire to see her musical inspiration, leading to her wonderful rendition of a song on his skin flute. Dane then lubed her up with a bit of head before they vaginally screwed, bouncing on his pecker until draining him of spew that was unleashed at her face when he jerked off to it.
Scene Six: Dylan "Jan" Riley, the attractive blond sported on the middle of the far left side of the cover, was up last with teacher Eric John, the gal doing her best to achieve academic success. He was all over her in her bright orange and yellow dress, her character learning from a friend about how to easily make friends and influence people the old fashioned way. Wrapping her hand and mouth around his cock, she sucked him off like a champion, the throat fucking action showing her smiling the entire time as she continually looked up at him. He eventually went down on her for a shorter bit of time, the couple porking vaginally with some enthusiasm and energy until he withdrew to stand before her, Dylan opening her mouth to take his semen and give some post coital head.
Summary: Not The Brady Bunch XXX: Pussy Power (Blu-ray) by director Will Ryder for X-Play Media successfully followed up on the previous efforts, the sexual antics all really strokable, the dialogue working on multiple levels, and the entire effort quite polished up compared to anything offered by competitors to earn a rating of Highly Recommended. In short, building on the success of the series to date, Not The Brady Bunch XXX: Pussy Power had lots of replay value, strokability, and fun factor that a very wide audience would appreciate if given the chance, again securing the reputation of X-Play as the premiere sitcum producer. And don't forget, for the utter best in realism and detail, get the high definition version because it really shined by comparison (at least on my 60" TV).
