Lene Best Friends

Toni English's screenplay for Vivid Video is simple: a story of roommates who will finally hook up (very predictably after 10 years of being "best friends"). In the label's rosters of top stars, perhaps Stephanie Swift or Melissa Hill could breathe life into the lead role, but not Lene.

That's because what's required is not a bombshell but an attractive woman who blossoms. Lene is very pretty but very, very fake looking -both her face and body. That's okay in porn for a sex scene, but her character is never believable.

VInce Vouyer as her buddy since high school tries hard, maybe too hard. Potentially funny situations don't come off unfortunately. An example of this is when he goes on a date with a pretty coworker played by Julie Rage and she shows up looking too sexy, and then takes him to a peepshow location to watch live sex from behind glass: Ian Daniels humping Black beauty Monique. Of course the two of them have sex afterward, but it's strictly mechanical.

Later, a routine comedy scene is botched, when Lene wakes hearing loud noises downstairs. She calls the police and heads down to confront the intruder carrying a baseball bat, but of course it's drunken Vince.

Worst acting performance is by Jon Dough, playing the friendly cop who shows up. Lene soon goes out with him, but the breakup is immediately after sex when she discovers he's done a thorough background investigation on her before they went out together! Dough recites his lines in a monotone and exudes zero appeal, treating the assignment like a sex-only gig.
