For chicken hawks out there, have I got a news for you! (And you know who you are - you travel in packs. I should know - I'm King of the Chicken Hawks. I've got a card and everything.)
Director Kevin Clarke has said that he doesn't want to be known as the King of the Chicken movies. Well, personally, I think I can think of worse things to be king of. Take this wonderful niche that you've cornered, Mr. Clarke, and run with it.
We are introduced to one of our narrators, Ashton Ryan, through voice-over. He is visiting his gay uncle in Palm Springs at the resort that he works at. Ryan has just admitted to his family that he was gay because his mother found a gay CD(?) in his room and asked him about it. Understanding, she ships him off to his uncle so that he can find himself.
Of course, all Ryan is looking for is dick. And lots of it.
His first encounter is with pool boy Corey Miller (although Miller's last name in the final credit is Stevens). Miller is an adorable young, hairy-chested blond, and Ryan is a beautiful brunet who looks spookily like Ben Affleck when he flashes his dazzling smile. Ryan is working out, and Miller notices him so goes in to help out. All he helps Ryan do is drop his pants, and the two exchange blowjobs - Ryan gets his in the weight room, and Miller gets his in the hot tub.
Ryan, in fact, is losing himself in Chuck Murphy - a cutie that he picked up in the grocery store. The two are going at it, dry humping each other, when they hear a noise out back. It turns out to be cutie Taylor, a blond waif with big blue eyes, killer smile and an 18-year-old body that hawks circle for.
Taylor is raking leaves in the backyard, and Ryan and Murphy invite him in to join in the fun. For Ryan, it's love at first sight. Of course, Taylor joins them. They take turns with each other, sucking and kissing - but then Murphy splits, realizing that he's just a third wheel. (Which is a little disappointing, because he was so damn cute.) The two go at each other, Taylor fucking the cum out of Ryan, and Ryan, in turn, fucks Taylor, bringing himself to another load.
But then we discover that all is not well in wonderland. Turns out that Ryan realized that he was only looking for sex while Taylor was looking for the man of his dreams. So the relationship ends. (If the rumors are true, that's very much how the real-life situation was as well: Ryan and Taylor were together yet broke up, and Taylor hooked up with Aaron Nichols.)
Taylor and Nichols are soccer buddies, and they head back to the inn for a little fun by the pool. Ryan watches from the window as Taylor swallows Nichols' dick and jacks off. (It's a little depressing watching him watching them.) But Nichols and Taylor head into their room to continue their little friendship fucking. Nichols fucks Taylor so hard, it doesn't take long for the blond to shoot his wad all over. But then Nichols straddles Taylor's face as Taylor lovingly blows him to orgasm, shooting gobs of creamy cum all over Taylor's cherub face. When Taylor opens his bright blue eyes and grins up at Nichols through all that spooge on his face, it's riveting.
Then there's a lot of walking on the beach with Ryan, Taylor and Nichols, and eventually Ryan wishes them the best and heads off to find someone else to do. Taylor and Nichols go to a mountain at the top of Palm Springs to profess their love.
The last scene alternates between the romantic encounter that the two lovebirds are having atop the mountain and a threeway tryst that Ryan is having with two hikers he meets on the road. Liam Anderson is a big-dicked, and I mean big-dicked, blond, and Trevor Hobbs is a handsome brunet. They start out fucking as Ryan watches. But Ryan has to join in, and does, geting speared by both studs, whimpering as Anderson parts his cheeks with his massive tool.
Ryan ends up happily searching for Mr. Right, content to have all the time in the world to find him and have all the sex he can on the way. Taylor and Nichols live happily ever after.
The story is a light, romantic one, yet there's not much development of the two leads. However, they are cute and have great bodies and terrific enthusiasm for sex. In fact, they all have terrific sexual drives. Ah, to be 18 again. Young, dumb and full of cum. Both leads are fine actors and carry the film through. It's well directed and edited and the music is fine and edgy.
So here's hoping that Clarke takes this recipe that he's created and heads to the nearest restaurant. Because if I know the hawks, they'll be looking for something new to nibble on in the near future. Especially after the tasty morsels offered up in this feature.

Freshmen magazine cover model Ashton Ryan leads a cast of young men in the fantastic "The American Way." Director Kevin Clarke (Jaguar's "The Pleasure Principle" and Odyssey Men's "Something Very Big") hits the jackpot with this video, a veritable twink bonanza.
Ryan, last seen on the April 1999 Freshmen cover, travels cross-country to Palm Springs, CA, to work for his uncle at a gay hotel, The Inntrigue. Conveniently enough, while hanging out at the Inn, Ryan encounters a number of attractive (and randy) young men. Ryan, who looks all of 21 years old, first runs into the pool boy (Corey Stevens) while working out. The bleach-blond, young-looking Stevens waltzes up to the dashing brown-haired Ryan and the two begin pawing at each other. The great thing about this scene (and for that matter, all of the scenes in the video) is that the actors concentrate on lots of foreplay. The audience is treated to kissing, groping, rubbing, licking and the like. Ultimately, Ryan and Stevens trade blowjobs in various poolside settings before they both shoot very nice loads. Following his first Inntrigue encounter, Ryan picks up lithe, brown-haired cutie Chuck Murphy. The two retire to Ryan's room and take a tumble on the bed. The fair-skinned Murphy, clad in a pair of spanky white briefs, looks fantastic matched up against the tanned -- but not obviously fake-n-baked tan -- Ryan. The two mess around for a while until they walk outside and see the stunning Christian Taylor raking leaves in the yard. The two invite Taylor into their bedroom and a very hot threesome ensues. Taylor, a natural blond, with longish hair, is sex on legs. He's wild, passionate, and completely into what he's doing. Taylor, who has a light dusting of golden hair on chest, literally shivers and shakes when Ryan sucks his dick (or hell, for that matter, when he simply touches him). Murphy rapidly becomes the third-wheel and decides to make a fast getaway and vanishes from the scene entirely (sadly, we never get to see Murphy's dick, nor a cumshot from the lad). But back to our dynamic duo ... Taylor and Ryan exchange gonzo blowjobs (who knew that they were so proficient in deep-throating techniques?) and Taylor tops Ryan. This isn't your standard fuck scene my friend. Taylor fucks Ryan as if his life depended on it; saying that Taylor fucks energetically would be the understatement of the year. Ryan claws at Taylor and thrashes his head back and forth, mumbling incoherent words while in a state of complete ecstasy. After Ryan shoots his load (while Taylor is still pounding his ass mercifully we might add), the two trade positions. Ryan oils up Taylor's back and begins an erotic massage before topping him. Again, Taylor is fantastic here, as he bounces wildly on top of Ryan's very sizable whang. Taylor cums while mounted on Ryan. Later, Taylor is kicking around a soccer ball with Aaron Nichols, yet another great looking twink. (Where did Junior Studios and RAD Video find these guys? Can someone tell us, please?). The two, in matching uniforms, zip back to The Inntrigue for a little poolside action. Taylor again shows that he has a knack for foreplay, as he works the brown-haired Nichols into a frenzy. As Taylor and Nichols show off their oral skills on each other, Ryan watches from inside a hotel room and jacks off. After Ryan shoots his load, Taylor and Nichols retreat to the bedroom. Again, and this can't be emphasized enough, these guys are very into what they are doing. The two truly seem like they are enjoying themselves and are fantastically turned on. Cutie-pie Nichols mounts Taylor and fucks him for all he's worth; Taylor cums while being fucked. Taylor sucks Nichols off until he shoots his load on Taylor's smiling, cherubic face. Taylor and Nichols disappear into the woods for some sightseeing fun and we are treated to them making out in the woods. (Incidentally, the two are now a couple in a real-life. Awww, how cute!) Meanwhile, back at the Inn, Ryan hooks up with a couple of tattooed guys, the blond, huge dicked Liam Anderson and the brown-haired Trevor Hobbs. Ryan bottoms for both men, and Hobbs also bottoms for Anderson. All three shoot great loads on Ryan's chest. (Ryan writes at the RAD Video website, "I never thought that something that big would go inside me but it did, and it hit places that I never thought could be reached in the human body." Whew!) Ryan and Taylor narrates the film through voiceovers and monologues spoken directly to the camera. It's simple, but effective. Production values are not fantastic, but that's a moot point, considering the men are incredibly attractive and sex is beyond hot.
