Gerein' Up

Ashlyn Gere was one of Adult Cinema's better actresses, but in "Gerein' Up", a sad excuse for an erotic thriller, she overdoes her "snarling face" school of acting and suffers through way too much makeup as well. It's another of prolific hack Michael Craig's lousy videos, of which I've sat through 49 of them to date.

It's a half-hearted riff on "Fatal Attraction", but with a ridiculous storyline. Gere masturbates almost constantly, a rather oddball (but in the world of porn, logical) reaction to the fact that her fiancee Mark (a character we never meet beyond an old photo of him) stood her up on their wedding day.

Now she prowls around horny all the time, and at a bar with her friend Heather Hart picks up Jon Dough in a stupid version of "meet cute" (he has car trouble and Gere steals his wallet, then gives him a ride home).

Unlike "Play Misty for Me" and "Fatal Attraction", in this version Gere is all bad and terribly unsympathetic as character Carolyn. She basically stalks poor Dough, who is essentially blameless. Dumbest plot element has her accosting Dough's housemaid Cassidy and essentially lesbian-raping her outside his house, in order to take her maid costume and masturbate in it for Dough to watch in his kitchen.

Plenty of other sex is thrown in by Craig, including scene-stealer (by virtue of her huge fake tits) Tianna Taylor humping Scott Irish in the bar in a completely extraneous XXX scene. Dough's wife played by Alicia Rio gets to hump her husband but otherwise is stuck in a nothing role. And for good measure, pal Heather Hart gets to hump bartender Karl played by Mike Horner.

Sources list Teri Diver in the cast but I didn't spot her, even as an extra.
