Amateur video, like the performers who populate it, is often more attractive in concept than in practice. The Reel Life series feels like the characters fro Fox's "King of the Hill" abandoned their cartoon lives to start an amateur gonzo line. After all, how many opportunities do you get to hear the phrases, "She really goin' to town," "She's hotter 'n a two-dollar pistol," and "That gal's built like a brick shithouse," all in one evening of porn watching?

Each of these volumes has its… uhhh… ups and downs. Vol. 63 has a really gorgeous little blonde doing the hot tub mambo with her slightly awkward boyfriend. Vol. 68 has a hot, body-pierced English stripper getting fairly nasty with her boy-toy du jour. Vol. 70 has two scenes with couples who never quite get into the swing of it, and Vol. 63 & 71 are specialty tapes for those who like their women queen-sized. The girls in these editions might be plump, but they fuck like Olympic athletes. Vol. 66 & 67 are both solo tapes which are, frankly, lacking in any kind of real heat.

The absolute jewel in the crown of this collection is Vol. 64, which stars the aptly named Anal Princess. This girl really loves to get her ass plowed, and the footage of Princess getting her rectum reamed with a vibrator that's thicker than a Coke can is hotter than most of the professional tapes we've seen this year. If only the rest of the series could be this good.
