Not Bewitched XXX

This porn parody (or as I prefer to call 'em, ripoff) from the successful team of Mullen (aka Ryder) and David has the latter working on nostalgia riffs including bad wigs, Yard Sale furnishings and gaudy costuming to suggest the '60s while co-conspirator Will Ryder gets the over the top performances.

Sex scenes are perfunctory, especially a shoe-horned into the script extraneous one to feature overrated star of the day Sasha Grey. Doing a Gilda Radner-styled comedy turn, Michelle Avanti impresses in the sex department, deep throating Nate Threat and taking it in the posterior from him.

Flaunting a non-p.c. approach, Ryder is prescient a decade earlier in predicting today's blatant racism, under the guise of mocking 1960s racism, in a now-relevant scene of Avanti phoning 911 to report "a Negro is in our neighborhood", when Nate is changed from a toy doll to a living person by star Teagan's magic spell.

Big-name cast is wasted, especially a miscast Jenna Haze in the lead Elizabeth Montgomery role, while Nina Hartley has a good NonSex turn with red wig imitating Agnes Moorehead's original performance. Imitation is what makes this sort of junk annoying, as well as the stupid laugh-track.

Porn makers note: Since 2000 there have been three easy ways to win an AVN award. 1. Make the film longer than two hours with repeat loops of the same camera angle. 2. Always base your film on a popular movie or TV show. 3. Use HD and widescreen to razzle dazzle people with a bigger package than anything inside. I was quite surprised that there was no sex scene until after the first 15 minutes, and it was between two characters without any speaking parts to play in the movie. Mike Horner and Jenna Haze are the best partners in the film besides these two strange models that were in Darren's office. Darren and Samatha's scene was a welcome departure from reruns of what we've all seen before as often as the old sitcom on TV! Michelle Avanti as the nosy neighbor Gladys takes second place for her scene with Tabitha's black doll brought to life, "Best Newcomer" in AVN awards jargon.
