Certainly the most overrated director in Adult Cinema history, Axel Braun delivers another clunker hardly up to Wicked Pictures' standards with this desultory riff on Disney's "Peter Pan". Under the veil of parody, its existence is legally protected, but the only consumer protection is caveat emptor.
Scotsman Ryan Ryder is okay casting in the title role, his bright red dyed hair reminiscent of the fake redhead look beloved by various Lesbian porn icons. To avoid kiddie porn connotations, writer Braun sets his fairy tale when Wendy is all grown up, married to a creep named Clive, played by Steven St. Croix with one of the cast's poor attempts at British accents (Ryan keeps his Scots delivery intact).
St. Croix doubles as Captain Hook, hardly giving that role much personality. His assistant aboard ship is Smee, played by Jake Jacobs instead of his usual ace cameraman function, ceding cinematography to, you guessed it, credit hog Axel.
As Wendy, lovely Keira Nicole overacts per the director's approach, as he relentlessly plays down to his target audience -namely the schmoes who did so-called Porn Parody. In the 42-minute BTS not-so-short subject that occupies the gyp-the-consumer 2nd DVD on this pointless 2-Disk set she is quizzed about her resemblance to Keira Knightley -100% wishful thinking.
Proud to be under contract to Braun (as we learn in her boring BTS interview) Riley Steele plays Tinker Bell in boring fashion. Her career was in much better shape and far better served as a contract star with Digital Playground before that porn label was gobbled up circa 2011 by a European conglomerate.
Other talent wasted here includes another Braun contractee Aiden Ashley as a mermaid, Mia Malkova as another mermaid (their sex scene is limited to fellatio in order to avoid explaining away the mermaid's presumed lack of vagina or anus), Vicki Chase as Indian Princess Tiger Lily and a couple of porno studs who hide behind headdress and curly hair, as if embarrassed by their roles: Tommy Gunn and Dane Cross. A young sex worker named Jake Jace merely proves he can't read lines -perhaps Braun could have hired someone with narrative porn filmmaking experience instead if he cared at all about the finished product.
Special effects are poor, sets and backdrops ultra-cheap, and nowhere is their the sense of adventure or fantasy the project required. It ends with zero accomplished from a story point-of-view, merely setting up a dreaded sequel which, given porn's current economic problems (apart from gonzo streaming content), fortunately will likely never be made.
