Kinky Business 2 is a blistering, compelling story of messed up relationships and people who inhabit them, stuttering around each other like fouled sparkplugs. Jerry Butler and Tom Byron play brothers drawn into emotional conflict over a girl (Rachel Ryan). Butler, who's separated from Sharon Kane, is popping Ryan regularly, and Byron inadvertently becomes drawn to her while he's writing songs and trying to meet "nice" girls through a video dating service.

While Byron conducts his search, Butler chides him and conducts his own love affairs like a gorilla doing one of those luggage commercials. The inevitable tension develops as Butler witnesses Ryan's attraction to his brother, culminating in the single most powerful dynamic scene in adult video so far this year. The sex is magnificent too, orchestrated by great dialogue thanks to Raven Touchstone's sensitive script -- Ryan's scenes in particular. Truly great performances all around. This is a certified winner, with pretty good packaging, too.
