Being Riley

In-House Review - Dec 10 2015

When choosing the centerpiece of a star showcase, it always helps to pick one who really shines. That's certainly true of Riley Reid, whose carefree every-girl manner is ideally suited for this tale about a small-town girl who finds lust and happiness in Los Angeles.

She starts out in rural exile; it may be confining, but it's as beautifully shot as the rest of this movie directed by Tushy.com visionary Greg Lansky. Within no time Riley has left behind her conservative hometown and conventional boyfriend (Richie Calhoun in a non-sex role) to come live with old friend Aidra Fox, who's living it up in L.A. The rest of the movie unrolls in a series of beautifully shot sex scenes in which the quintessentially appealing brunette gets her sexual mojo back, sailing through well-appointed sets with visuals enhanced by an elegant soundtrack.


The first interlude is the softest: a girl/girl scene with Reid and Fox that starts in a bathtub, with he cool hues and soft sounds of water intensifying the sensuality. But this being a Tushy.com production, the end game is anal sex-a first for Reid. She does the deed with Mick Blue, AVN's reigning Male Performer of the Year, whom she visits in his ritzy penthouse, perched high above the city. The view is to die for, but porn fans will be much more interested in watching Reid cross the anal threshold at long last.


The remaining three scenes are also anal: a threesome with Reid, Fox and Manuel Ferrara; Reid's interracial hookup with muscular hottie Rob Piper; and, in a suitable finale, a double penetration. The last scene shows Reid having come full circle in her new life; talking to her good friend Aidra, she describes how her new boyfriend (James Deen) brought home a friend (Erik Everhard) to make one of her fantasies come true. The scenario clearly turns Aidra on as well, and as the credits roll up, it's clear that Reid's adventures will roll on.
