Carter Cruise won an industry award for this trifle made early in Jacky St. James's career as X-rated romance novelist for the Silver Screen. That says more about awards than about any quality to her acting.
It plays about equally well on late-night cable television as in the unexpurgated DVD, limning Carter's tribulations at college. She was humiliated by frat boy Chad White, but four years later has a yearning oddly enough to get back with him. Sinking the film for me (I lost interest early on) is the casting of Mr. Ugly, Brendon Miller in the lead male role - a porn actor who gets lots of work but is unimpressive in both acting and sack performance. Basically Carter has to choose between them in true cornball fashion.
DVD provides an alternate ending that merely demonstrates a certain lack of confidence (at least at this point in her career) for Jacky. The difference between the ending used both on cable and DVD vs. the alternate is that the level of alibis to explain away the "bad" characters (such as Chad and his main squeeze Allie Haze) is less wishy-washy in the alternate. Wishy-washy is the operative term, as Jacky seems afraid to paint any character in a bad light - an extremely lame approach to dramaturgy.
Besides Chad's big dick, which looms more prominently than his underwritten character, Jessa Rhodes and Logan Pierce bring enthusiasm and excellent line readings to their clichéd roles as protagonist Carter's best pals. Sloppy credits list Paul Woodcrest (erstwhile cameraman) twice among the Extras who appear.
