Lame swingers exercise
Not possessing enough content for those watered-down pay-cable versions, James Avalon's "Friends & Lovers" is typical of his current career phase of low-energy, uninvolving porn filler. Fortunately he continues to crank out winners for Sweet Sinner, while paying the bills with junk like this for sister Canadian label Erotica X.
I watched it less for "Avalon completeness" than to see my favorite Anissa Kate in action. She gets some dialogue and has an almost-character to play but it is not one of her finest hours either.
What passes for a nominal story line, upon which to thread the requisite four sex scenes, is the unfamiliar couple Melissa Moore and Rob Carpenter (two discoveries headed nowhere fast) chatting about their friends. This raises a flashback of Anissa's extramarital tryst with friend Seth Gamble, a scene that Kate heats up but remains standard fare, especially with Gamble's mechanical performance and a complete absence of the kink that Kate routinely brings to her Euro productions.
Next they discuss friend Mia's hotwifing activities, so we see another flashback, this time humping Johnny Castle. Very sloppy post-production and packaging omits any credit at all for Castle on the DVD liner or on screen. Avalon and his trusty editor Phil Silva also mess up at the end of the scene with repeated cuts that cross the center line, instead of adhering to tried & tested reverse-shot editing rules.
Alexa Grace is the next topic of gossip, word has it she's a swinger. This turns them on and we see Melissa and hubby Rob do some strictly within-marriage humping - the mundaneness of it all! Melissa is something of a Riley Reid imitator but with bigger tits.
Finale is the promised swing session in which Mia and hubby James Deen treat our stars to an evening together, swap spouses and then swap again, with Rob the recipient of 2 chicks on 1 dick threesome action. It's a listless and tedious segment made worse by Deen's insistence on his sotto voce gimmick of issuing orders to everyone, having nothing to do with the character he's playing, just what Deen always does. Clunk!
