It's a lightweight comedy, with some borderline offensive ethnic humor about L.A. hispanic culture, but it's silly enough that you have to let it slide. Anyway, the point is to see Teagan in a Digital Playground feature.

It begins promisingly, with Teagan's backside well and properly displayed in a car-wash tease opening, but we don't see her again for an hour or so. It's more of a Jesse Jane movie.

Jesse is a lot of things I'm not that fond of physically, but I'm becoming a fan the more I see her. She has a lot of personality, and it comes through in her physicality. And that comes through in her sex scenes. She's energetic and very good at projecting the vibe of "wanting it", for lack of a better description.

In her scene with Evan Stone, she's a wriggly little fish, and it's pretty hot. Her scene with Tommy Gunn isn't quite as good, but still very watchable.

When we finally get back to Teagan, she's the victim of some comic hairstyling. I know it serves the plot, and I'm always all about serving the plot, but I'm also against deliberately making women look less beautiful than they actually are. I know, I shouldn't be looking at her hair.

Anyway, the performance is pretty good. It won't make her top-10 scenes chart, but she's still the Teagan we know, which I guess some people were worried about (though I think that's silly).

The movie ends with a Jesse/Teagan g/g, which I FF'd. That's not a comment on the scene, just on my preferences.

Bottom line, it was just a quickie movie, and not a big debut for Teagan. I get the feeling this was shot before they knew she was going to be their star. So I'm still looking forward to her first "major" release from DP.

That's just my two cents on that.

I wonder if that could be true.
After all, the story of the movie is DP searching for a new contract star (to replace Tera Patrick, who is alluded but not exactly named litterally 2 times).
And the end result is them signing 2 new contract stars, both Jesse and Teagan.
So I would expect that this is their first release after signing Teagan (but what do I know )

I must say I found it a pretty hilarious movie, especially the overacting of Eric Masterson and Evan Stone as 2 typical East-LA hispanic guys (which they very clearly are not).
Yeah some of it could be offensive (in much the same vein as early Dark Brothers stuff was) but it was clearly a sendup.

I'll grant you that it does seem unlikely in light of that. But I guess I'm thinking that if this really was a movie they made specifically to kick off Teagan's DP career, they should have done it differently. It should have been one of their bigger-budget projects, and they should have given Teagan the bigger role (Jesse Jane has 3 scenes to Teagan's 2).

Perhaps Miss Presley can shed some light on that. I never have a real good sense of how long it takes for a movie to get released after production.

The trailer looks hilarious.

ObiBong, did you happen to notice whether Jesse and Teagan were barefoot in that scene you FF'd.

OK. It looks fun, so I might get it anyway.
I'd like to get my first view of Teagan in action, and the reviews seem favourable.
If the G/G scene was barefoot, that'd cinch it.

Kperv - I don't think they were but I would have to go back and look again.

Honestly the G/G scene was the weakest of the bunch. They made it a little more "romantic" then it should have been. Teagan and Jesse are both very aggressive performers and they should have let them tear each other up. Sexually speaking of course.

Obi - I think you are right in that this movie was made before Teagan was DP's contract girl.

Thanks for the info, Lee.
It might be better to wait for the next one.

hi y'all - just thought i'd shed a little light - teagan had just signed with us when she was cast in contract star. the story was written by one of our in house editors, of hispanic descent. he grew up in the barrio here in los angeles and the movie was written with the intention of an all white cast... playing on 'dialogue delivery' in adult films, comedy was the full intent. more serious drama might have been expected if cast with hispanic actors... thanks for bringing it all up tho - this is my favorite digital playground movie and i think teagan and jesse rock it!

Thanks for the info, Adella. I'll still be looking forward to the first feature developed specifically for Teagan.

And for aarle and Kperv, I didn't mean to overemphasize any PC misgivings about the movie. It is pretty funny. Not all THAT funny (to me anyway), but pretty funny.

Actually the BTS is probably funnier, but DP's BTS segments have been pretty good lately. They seem to put more effort into them.

That didn't turn me off the movie. I like over the top non-PC comedy from time to time.
And the trailer is nothing if not over the top. "Jesse Jane in her first latino role".

I've wanted to see Teagan in action for some time.
Everybody seems to love her performances (a few might be a little too obsessed IMHO), and I have to agree she's a pretty girl who seems to have her head screwed on right.
But the descriptions of her movies, made it clear that I wouldn't really like them. So, while I may be in a minority on this, her getting a contract was good news for me.

I might get this movie, but I think I'll hold out for one with more Teagan scenes, and preferable with some barefootage.
