Spun

Actress Casey Calvert has directed tons of porn content in recent years, but "Spun" demonstrates she's still not ready for prime time (meaning Non-Porn movies).

It's a rather cornball story starring Chanel Camryn celebrating a birthday party with old high school chums invited. Cast plays girls in their 20s, with plenty of nostalgia for their school days together. Casey's screenplay, written in tandem with her partner Bryn Pryor (who uses several pseudonyms in the screen credits), is filled with uninteresting dialogue, name dropping Beyoncé and very hokey regarding the characters' all-lesbian adventures. Press materials describe it as a "Y2K-inspired dramedy", but the reference to Beyoncé belies that assertion, given that her solo career didn't begin until 2002/2003.

The acting is okay for porn, but hardly up to mainstream standards. In the lead role, Chanel is all about teen angst, sort of arrested development, as the main plot thread is her disappointment when her dream girl Freya Parker, who she's been mooning over for eight years, brings a girlfriend (Maya Woulfe in a NonSex role) to Chanel's birthday party.

There's a happy ending in store for Chanel that is quite contrived, and the script's low point is when party guest Liz Jordan feels insecure, so she seeks out Chanel's lesbian MILF parents Dana Vespoli and Lauren Phillips and requests sexual instruction from them, resulting in a 3-way replete with Dana donning her trusty strap-on dildo. Sloppiest detail has Lulu Chu talking about lesbians at her university Vassar, wearing a sweatshirt with "Vasser College" proudly displayed and misspelled on it.

As Chanel's PAWG-styled sister, Electra Rayne makes a good impression among a cast of stars who've amassed collectively thousands of credits, and she gets to hump Lulu Chu in the bargain. With four 1/2-hour sex scenes plus some masturbation thrown in, it adds up to a mediocre feature from Bree Mills' Girlsway label.
