3 extra stars only for the first sex scene, the rest of the film is crap

[movieman_kev · 4/10 · 1 February 2008]

This Sean Micheals helmed porn is a take-off on the popular Fox sketch-comedy "In Living Color", complete with parodies of Homie the Clown, Firemarshal Bill, Men on Film, an the Fly girls.

In the first segment, well after the fly-fly girls have a dance montage, Sean stars as Arsenio Ball whom is interviewing Keisha (who non-avid porn watchers will recognize from "Beer League"). They off-course go at it and she looks and sounds hot as ever. This is a fairly long scene between the two. As good as that scene is I had high hopes for the rest of the film. Hopes that were promptly dashed away by the very next scene. Jonathan Morgan doing an extremely bad Fire Marshel Bill impersonation gets with Jaguar. She doesn't seem to be into it in the least and he won't stop doing the crap impersonation during the sex, very boring, very bad. The next coupling between Janet & Julian is a bit better (but quite frankly, it couldn't be worse than that previous segment. Of course no porn would be complete without the obligatory lesbian tryst, here provided in the short forth scene by Jaguar and Nikki Good. Things are wrapped up with Bianca,Julian and Persia & Ron Hightower, but at that point I ceased to care. This film is only good for that first scene, after that feel free to shut it off and shave yourself some headache.

My Grade: D+

Dated satire

[lor_ · 14 March 2024]

Sean Michaels, foolishly trying to impersonate Arsenio Hall, made this satire of the Wayans' classic TV series, hard to watch 30+ years after. It has XXX sex for fans of gonzo, but otherwise is embarrassing.

The femme cast is alluring, with Sean getting to interview and then f*ck Keisha, while another big star of the time Bionca Trump is paired with Julian St. Jox. Interracial action is stressed but also black on black scenes.

The Fly Fly Girls footage is played dancing around between scenes, strictly repetitious. Whereas Jim Carrey was in the original, here we get Jonathan Morgan, who is terrible. He makes faces and uses a stupid voice while getting a blow job from black actress Jaguar, and then returns in a corny Siskel/Ebert mockery as a gay movie critic.

Michaels didn't put much thought into this satire about satire -it doesn't work. He even wears a "40 Acres & a Mule" jacket as visual reference to Spike Lee.
