ON THE VERGE OF AMATEUR

Hustler Magazine's Barely Legal #31 is a raunchy collection of scenes under the guise of a "letters to Hustler" theme, in which ladies narrate in monotone voices about their innermost fantasies, and the fantasies play out before us. Unfortunately, the production has the look of an amateur film and the performers are mostly uninvolved.

Trespassing Pussy

In this scene, an ethnic woman named Nika has a picnic in the woods and encounters a stranger named Trent. Poor acting ensues, and finally, they engage in cunnilingus on a bench, reverse cowgirl, and doggy-style. Uninspired. Grade: C-

Breakfast with Head

This scene is better, because the woman—a blonde named Alexis—is more fun to watch. She has sex with the young Tony in a kitchen. There's standing cunny, blowjob, reverse cowgirl, spoon, doggy, and mutual masturbation. Grade: B-

Motel Muscle

This scene features more laughable acting. An ethnic woman named Kaylani fucks long-haired stud Nick in a motel room. The scene has masturbation, blowjob, cunny-exploring, missionary, cowgirl, and doggy. Like the others, it has an average, non-energetic feel. Grade: C+

My First Love

Here's the best scene in the film, by far. It starts terrifically with lesbians Christie and Julianna fondling each other on the floor of a new house. Then, somewhat sadly, it introduces an Italian moving guy named Joey Ray. The three of them get it on quite impressively, with double-blowjob, blow while face-sitting, missionary while other girl sits on girl's face, doggy while cunny-lapping, and alternating doggy/missionary while the girls kiss! This scene surprised me among all the mediocrity. Grade: A-

We Fucked into the Night

An ethnic housekeeper (Honey) gets it on with her boss (Jordan) in an outdoor hot tub. The activities include blowjob, cunny-lapping, doggy, missionary, reverse cowgirl. Grade: C+

AUDIO/VIDEO QUALITY

The disc's video quality is average for today's adult video presentations. The full-frame image has adequate color and detail but has the typical harshness associated with the medium. The audio is also harsh and distorted at the high end, but it gets the point across.

SPECIAL FEATURES

You get a Slideshow of production photographs, Previews of six films, a Clive McLean Profile, in which the director is interviewed for 5 minutes, interspersed with behind-the-scenes footage, a 7-minute Behind the Scenes of Barely Legal #23 featurette, in which we see much on-set footage from that film and more interviews with Clive and the performers.
