Monique Alexander stars in this latest Vivid endeavor as a courier sent to a secluded mansion to drop off papers to the owner. Once inside among the cameras, lights, and props there are actors in lingerie or wearing nothing at all having sex. As the camera follows Monique Alexander around the house looking for the property owner she is mistaken for an actor, getting pulled for hair and make-up, starring in a scene with another adult actor and filling out paperwork to get a check. It isn’t until the end of the film that we realize she is a process server.

The sex scenes are long, filled with lots of positions and cum shots but are nothing special. The only actors who look really into their parts are Monique Alexander and her partner in the master bedroom scene. She encounters a man while walking through the master bedroom and the two have sex with some face slapping and neck grabbing thrown in. Later on we find out that he was the owner she is looking for. This is my favorite sex scene of the movie.

Throughout the house there are film crews shooting other adult actors having sex which we get to see. As I said before these scenes are cum filled but the actors don’t really get into it. One problem I found is that I had no idea who the real actors were so it became difficult to get into the scene. The credits appeared without the actors pictures, so, I couldn’t put names to faces.

Another problem I found when I viewed the movie was how Monique Alexander protests each time she is mistaken for an adult actor on the set. Every time some one mistakes her identity, she protests weakly then does whatever they’ve asked. That behavior threw off the believability of her character for me. I think if she had protested a little harder and the crew fought back it would have seemed more real.

As for the overall details the music nicely accompanied the mood and setting of each scene. The setting of a film crew and equipment everywhere added to the story. The dialogue was minimal but informative. The plot was original along with the direction in the mock reality – show style. There is even a surprise ending to the movie.

The DVD features include a Photo Gallery, Previews, Titled Chapters, Positions Room with five positions from the movie, Vivid Girl Extras, Web links, Vivid Previews and a Bonus Room.
