The one absolutely positive thing to say about Phil Varone’s latest swinger escapade is, these swingers he’s recruited definitely know how to fuck and have the libido to go non-stop. Technically speaking, issues that are easily overlooked in amateur productions such as lighting and sound aren’t apparent. Varone manages to find a lively bunch of sexual beings who don’t have performance issues when the camera is on and genuinely enjoys a good rapport with all involved.

Anyone can appreciate all the heart, soul and enthusiasm Varone put into this and it counts for a lot. But unless you’re fascinated by the swinger lifestyle or are a part of this world, you may find it hard to squeeze one out to this. The ladies are above average in looks, but the real problem is, they don’t exude a whole lot of sexuality and lack any screen charisma. Yes, they can definitely fuck, but overall Meet the Rileys doesn’t generate a whole lot of heat to get you aroused. Plus the behind-the-scenes style in which Varone shoots this title, with extended breaks including a mock commercial for Vivid Vodka, just kills the mood completely.

Varone is a genuinely good guy and a decent director. For someone who is a part of the swinging community like Varone is, he knows where to find a group of like-minded souls who aren’t intimidated once the camera goes on. But we feel most want their porn to be much more professionally made, with girls who are natural sexual beings born to fuck in front of the camera. Meet the Rileys puts people in front of the camera who can fuck and that’s it, but it takes more than that to get most people excited.
