Riley Steele’s Chic is overall a stereotypical mainstream porn. I really wanted to like it and there were some enjoyable parts, but it really just didn’t do it for me.

The first scene starts out with Riley doing a small solo scene that really wasn’t very enticing or interesting. After watching a little of it I fast forwarded through the rest because I wanted to get to the rest of the DVD.

After Riley’s solo scene, there is a decent scene with Zeina Hart and James Deen. The first plus of this scene is that Zeina is absolutely gorgeous. The scene starts out with what I would consider an overly long blow job scene; however, I think it may have been necessary because James took a while to get completely hard. But after that it quickly improved. The space in which it is filmed is very minimal without furniture, but it’s nice and there is a large window that Zeina and James fuck in front of. And it really seems like she’s enjoying it after a while, which is something I always like. Also, in stereotypical porn style, Zeina leaves her heels on.

Next comes Riley Steele again with Mick Blue. I usually like Mick, but in this scene he just didn’t shine. Neither one of the performers seemed to be into what they were doing and there was a real disconnect between them. Also the lighting that was used was not flattering to either one of the performers. Because of the light, you can greatly see that Riley has razorburn in her pubic area and also around her ass. And the scarring from her breast implants can be seen as well, this all could have been fixed with better lighting and a tad of makeup. In addition to the lighting, the camera spends too much time on facial close-ups. This scene, sadly, was bad for me.

Capri Cavalli’s scene is good, but it wasn’t good enough of bad enough to warrant a lot of commentary. The next scene is with Devi Emmerson, who does a very awkward solo while talking to the camera, it made me a little uncomfortable and I flipped through it.

Then we have Riley again with Danny Mountain. The odd thing is that some of the scene is filmed through the doorway, so if you have voyeur tendencies, this might be for you. However, it still has the bland feel that most of the other scenes have. This may be due to Riley being relatively new to porn or it may just be that they honestly have no chemistry and don’t want to be there. About the only comment I have it that Danny is more vocal than most male performers, so if you like vocal guys (moans, talking, etc.) you may like this scene more than I did.

After Riley, Heather Vahn has a scene which is bland other than Heather’s good looks. She’s a very pretty girl, but her partner, Scott Nails, ruins it a bit by showing lack of interest and bluntly, he’s not a very good fuck it seems. However, Heather is so pretty it’s worth the watch!

And since this is called Riley Steele Chic, we have Riley again, this time with the comically named Eric Everhard. At the start of this scene Eric has already lost points with me for doing a rather sleazy thing of licking Riley; it is just not attractive Eric, and now you have to win back my appreciation. When Riley was sucking Eric’s dick, and pulled it out to smack her in the face, my boyfriend yelled “¡pollazo!” which is basically a blow to the face (or other part) with the dick, not attractive Eric. Lose again. The end has some positives, such as some camera angles that I like, but overall the scene comes across as mediocre.

The featurette of the making of is entertaining and definitely worth a watch. There are also some trailers for other films that are worth a watch, if you’re looking for something new, but none of them are spectacular.

I've tried giving Riley Steele Chic more than enough chances to impress me, and it just doesn't make the cut. The performers lack chemistry, and the overall quality of the film is poor. It now lives in the back of my toy and porn drawer and will stay there.
