Love & Marriage by Digital Playground - review by Kayla

Love & Marriage is a two-disk DVD adult porn produced by Digital Playground and directed by Robby D. The set comes with both a Blu-Ray and DVD version. This a new movie just produced in 2010. The main star of the movie is Kayden Kross, but other stars also include Jessie Andrews, Tommy Gunn, Breanna Benson, Lisa Ann, Scott Nails, Mick Blue, and Manuel Ferrara. The movie includes five separate sex scenes.

We watched the Blu-Ray version of the movie. It played just fine on a Playstation 3. The regular version of the DVD played just fine on my laptop. The menus are easy to navigate, and the high definition is beyond "high". It's extremely clear, and if I'm honest, it's probably a bit TOO clear. It's odd to see some of the things in such high definition that I wouldn't notice them in real-life. The only issue with the Blu-Ray was the low-qualty building. For some reason, Digital Playground didn't take any footage of the therapist's building, so instead of using a HD shot of a building, they used a low-quality, pixelated shot of the building, so it looked downright horrible in comparison to the great quality of the Blu-Ray.

The plot of this movie is really basic. Kayden Kross is a married woman to this "perfect" husband. He has a good job, is nice to her, and everything. (It turns out he's cheating on the side though.) She can't figure out why she's unhappy, so she starts to visit a therapist. She falls in love with the therapist. She gets a divorce from the husband, and Kayden has sex with the therapist, then end of story. I feel like Digital Playground tried to make this plot a bit "heartfelt", but it just ended up being funny and bad which is not what I was looking forward to.

I liked the sex in this movie. I did. It was the perfect length - not too long, not too short. There were blowjobs, but there was also cunnilingus as well. No females orgasmed, but they never orgasm anyways, I wasn't expecting that. The sex scenes didn't follow a horrible "cut and dry" formula like they sometimes end up doing in other movies. The sex was kept interesting, and the addition of whipped cream into a scene made it extra fun. The sex wasn't bad at all; it was actually pretty good for the movie. Short description of sex scenes:

The first scene is Scott Nails, Mick Blue, and Jessie Andrews. It's just your typical sex scene. It's really odd though since there's no "double-teaming". Instead, it alternates between watching Mick with the girl than Scott with the girl. There isn't any time when they both are on the camera at the same time. In the next sex scene, the married couple is at a party with another married couple: Lisa Ann and Tommy Gunn. Lisa and Tommy excuse themselves to get some pie and have sex in the kitchen with the whipped cream. Realistically, I feel like Kayden and her husband should have been questioning why pie took 25 minutes, but nothing was mentioned. The third scene is Kayden and Scott. Kayden asks why Scott loves her, and he says she can "fuck" well. (Yes, that's what she wanted to hear.) They proceed to have sex.

The forth scene is a "work" threesome. Scott Nails, the boss of the company, makes his two new employees (who are *so* not dressed for work in see-through shirts) have sex with each other and himself. The employees are Breanna Benson and Jessie Andrews. The last scene is Manuel Ferrara and Kayden after she bursts in saying she has divorced her husband. It's actually a pretty romantic sex scene.

So the sex wasn't bad. However, my biggest problem was the plot. The sex can be great, but unless the plot follows along in greatness, I'm just not going to like the movie. It doesn't have to be an amazingly thorough plot (I like Girl Talk's basic plot), but it does have to make sense with the plot they gave it. This porn just didn't. It's like the movie was trying really hard to be relatively "serious", but it just didnt do that. For example, Scott's "employees" came to work wearing see-through shirts and short dresses. Kayden tells Scott that he's divorcing her while he's sitting and pooping on the toilet. The therapist doesn't seem at all concerned about losing his license for getting involved with a client.

However, the acting is really great. The writing, not so much, but the acting is great. Kayden and Scott Nails both are some of the best actors in this movie, and the rest of the characters do a good job of realistic acting. A small problem was that the violin/piano in the background of the therapist/Kayden scenes were always too loud. It was really hard to hear Kayden and the therapist unless you'd turn up your television. Considering there were quite a few of those scenes, that got pretty annoying.

As a sidenote, according to the Behind the Scenes portion, Jessie Andrews is 18 years old and still in High School. That made me feel ridiculously gross about watching this adult movie. She's still in High School!!

The Special Features of this disk are just the regular features of every porn. There is a Behind the Scenes feature which lets you see the actresses/actors interacting including Kayden Kross attempting to read a book while giving a blowjob. There's also some of the Digital Playground trailers and a gallery of pictures from the movie. There's also a Scene Selection ability that lets you pick your favorite aspect of the movie to rewatch.

However, the movie is a good movie. The sex is good for this movie, but the plot just isn't believable. However, if compared up against "Ass Invaders 2", this movie is worth the watch. If compared up against "Girl Talk" though, I'd much rather take "Girl Talk". If you enjoy mainstream porn though and aren't too picky on the plot, Digital Playground did do a very good job on this movie compared to other mainstream films.
