Family United & Other Stories

Gamma Entertainment has spread the boring story of nerdy (that's a laugh) August Ames's sexual adventures with sisters, mom and aunt over four videos so far, with no end in sight. After "Sisters Divided", "Sisters United" and the off-brand "Don't Tell Daddy", this fourth installment adds up to an inadvertent campaign to make lesbian incest boring.

Background has Ames previously corrupted by her free-wheeling sister Janice Griffith, who is frequently mentioned as a central figure but not shown here. They ran off with a gal pal (Carmen Caliente) to not Burning Man but rather Flaming Man in the desert, corrupting young Ames. Ames returns home and her mom India Summer is angry at her and absentee Griffith for straying. But in finding out they have become lesbians a light goes on over her head (figuratively speaking) and alter ego sister/aunt Nikki Daniels encourages a lesbian family threesome.

Filmmakers Stills & Mills have not given incest and its dramatic potential any serious thought, just milking it as a gimmick to pad their bank accounts as lazy-bones pornographers. It is so strained here that their mythical world of step-mothers (and instant myths concerning their incestuous maternal instincts) is extended a generation, so we hear about how step-sisters Nikki and India were brought up learning lesbianism from their step-mom (a plethora of fathers as she was step to both of them) and now are carrying on the "tradition" with step August.

Adding insult to idiocy, the compilation video features the predatory team of India and Nikki manhandling yet another step-daughter Hannah Hartman, unlike August a very innocent seeming kid who is confused by what she sees on the website webyoung.com (a subsidiary of Gamma Entertainment, of course), so they also teach her how to be a lesbian, incest division. I was completely confused, as in "Don't Tell Daddy" Ames is step-sister to Abella Danger as well, quite a big family of superstar lesbian performers.

Saving grace is that both India episodes here are staged at my favorite porno location, the "Immoral Proposal" mansion, well-shot as beautiful backdrop to all the humping.

The remaining story is in poor taste, as Casey Calvert overplays an uppity kid kicked out of college for truancy. Stepmom Jelena Jensen decides to home school her with a stag movie premise of old: teaching her anatomy beginning with a study of the vagina. Casey's improv dialog is so confrontational I thought the entire pair of vignettes would self-destruct, but the two gay for pay actresses get down to Sapphic humping with gusto and presumably deliver what an undiscriminating audience is hungry to see, namely said vaginas fingered and licked in close-up.

Jelena is eight years older than Casey, but of course in this parallel world where birth mothers don't exist, only step-mothers, age is meaningless. But not as meaningless as the mind-numbing concoctions conjured up by Mills & Stills' resident "story writer", one mysterious Lucy J.
