Love & Marriage by Digital Playground - review by Viktor Vysheslav Malkin

Front Cover:
The front cover uses a lot of warm tones, and features a very sexy picture of Kayden Kross. This cover gives a more sensual impression than most adult film covers.

Back cover:
On the back is a lovely picture of Manuel and Kayden (a clothed screen capture from the film) along with a description of the film's plot. Also on the back is a total of ten other screen captures from the film.

Menus:
The menus in this film are quite possibly the best I have come across. There is a pink border around a widescreen clip from the movie. The black and white (grayscale) clip features Kayden and her husband (in the film) Scott kissing and embracing. The image is also accompanied with a haunting piano ballad.


Film overview - with potential plot spoilers

The film starts out with Kayden (Kayden Kross) talking to her therapist (Manuel Ferrara). Kayden redirects a lot of questions before finally admitting that she has an awesome husband who loves her and provides for her, yet she wants more. Kayden is not sure about her feelings, she is confused, but she knows that she is not happy in her marriage.


The next scene shows Scott (Scott Nails) celebrating his colleagues Sean's birthday (Mick Blue). Scott asks to see Sean in his office and tells him that it is an emergency. When Sean enters the room he finds a half naked woman (Jessie Andrews) sitting on Scott's desk. Scott gives Sean a “bro hug” and tells him “happy birthday”. Sean then commences to kiss on the woman while Scott sits in a chair and looks on. Sean and the woman take turns performing oral sex on one another before the woman moves on to Scott; she then performs oral sex on Scott. Both Sean and Scott take turns having vaginal sex with the woman before the scene ends with Scott ejaculating on the woman's face.


In the next scene Kayden is at home, she is applying makeup when Scott enters and Kayden reminds Scott that they have a party to go to. The two get into an argument and the camera cuts away.

While at Sandra's party the two couple seems completely at different ends of the spectrum. Sandra and her husband are very happy together while Kayden seems very down and depressed. Sandra (Lisa Ann) and her husband (Tommy Gunn) excuse themselves in order to retrieve a pie.

While the two are in the kitchen, things get hot and steamy. The two begin to feed each other whip cream from a bottle and begin to kiss. Things heat up even more as they begin to have sex. This sex scene features both oral and vaginal sex before ending with a facial cumover. The two return to the party before the scene ends.


The next scene shows Kayden back in her therapist's office. Kayden explains that she has changed as has her husband Scott. Her therapist explains that he thinks she is just fine. Kayden claims that she has never made a mistake before, but then refers to her marriage as a mistake. Kayden then abruptly kisses the therapist, the therapist was taken aback.

The next scene starts out with Kayden questioning Scott on why he loves her. She was unsatisfied with his answers, Scott tries to reassure her, and the two have sex. This sex scene features a lot of oral and vaginal sex before ending with a cumover.


The next scene starts out with her telling the therapist about how she had sex with Scott, but she explains that she was emotionally turned off. She explains that she and Scott have grown apart, and that she wishes for a time when it was easier. Kayden explains that she can not stop thinking about kissing the therapist. The therapist urges her to try to save her marriage.

The next scene starts out with Scott telling his receptionist (Jessie Andrews) that he would like her to meet a new employee (Breanne Benson). The three enter Scott's office and begin to have sex. This three-way scene features a lot of oral and vaginal intercourse before ending with a double facial cumover. At one point in this scene Kayden walks in and discovers Scott cheating on her.


The next scene shows Kayden confronting Scott; she tells him that she wants a divorce. Scott asks if he will be given a chance to save the marriage, but Kayden refuses and walks out.

(Continued)

The next scene shows Kayden confronting Scott; she tel
ls him that she wants a divorce. Scott asks if he will be given a chance to save the marriage, but Kayden refuses and walks out.

Kayden explains that her marriage is over and she tells the therapist that she wants to be with him. The therapist refuses her, but she eventually talks him into it. The two have oral and vaginal sex in his office before the scene ends with a facial cumover. This is the final scene of the movie.

Personal Comments:
This was incredible and dramatic film, and one that I very much enjoyed it. The performers did an amazing job in all the aspects of acting. As for a stand out performer, I can't really pinpoint one person, but I can say that Kayden and Manuel did superb job.

When I first started watching this I was a little worried about the whole doctor/patient relationship, but I've got to say that this was executed perfectly. The ending just made sense, and did not go down the dark path I thought it might have.

I can not say enough good things about Kayden Kross; she is such a phenomenal talent. Whether it is her smoking good looks or her absolutely awesome talent for acting, she really is indeed the complete package. There was a moment that really caught my attention, at the very end of the film, after Manuel just got done with the money shot, Kayden gave him a look that I just can only describe as “special”. This moment was pure; it really hit home, something I have not seen in adult film, a definite goosebump moment.

I am going to give this a five star rating. There is just nothing bad I can say about this film, for me it was perfect.
