Director Edward James regaled me with tales of his erotic overseas adventures at least three years ago, so I was expecting a lot more than I got with this second installment in his Italian series. He's certainly been around long enough to know that porn fans expect more than pretty scenery. I found the same problem last year with Rick Van's strikingly bad string of videos set in Hawaii. I could send my grandmother to Hawaii or Italy with a video camera and have her come back with pretty pictures. Beautiful scenery is a given, people! If the sex is great and the guys are hot, who the fuck cares where they're doing the deed?
The video opens with a fantastically handsome, bare-chested guy who describes in his cute, fractured English some of the action to follow. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear in any of it. We're then treated to lots and lots of footage of the guys horsing around, singing songs and eating a long meal. All of them are strikingly handsome, so Mr. James gets credit for picking his manflesh well. An orgy takes up most of the video's running time, but first we're treated to a nice little oral-only scene in a bathroom. Diavolo is slender and tattooed in odd places, while Max Reggiani sports a very big dick that quickly gets hard and stays that way.
Frizzy-haired Pablo powers the orgy by sucking off every guy in the group. He obviously enjoys all of the sizable dicks around him, but it goes on and on and on. I eventually sped the tape to the point where he's bent over a rickety table and roughly fucked by Reggiani and at least one other guy (the editing and direction was mildly confusing by this point). Don't expect much, at all and you'll enjoy this video, especially if Italian men ring your bell.
One final note: Although I realize all of these guys are new to the scene, the box cover credits list four or five models who aren't in the video.
