Sequelitis. Once the bane of mainstream - hell, still the bane of mainstream - it is now turning up in story-driven porn. If this had been the first Sopornos video, there wouldn't have been a second one.

That said, many of the strengths of the original Sopornos are still here. Another first-rate performance by Rob Spallone as Bobby Soporno. Good dialogue in the sequences where the conflicted Bobby talks to his shrink. A couple of dynamite sex scenes, including a barnburner with Bridgett Kerkove and Tony Tedeschi, and some good work by Lola and the name-above-the-title billed Jewel De'Nyle. Non-sex performances good as well, with Gene Ross in an inspired cameo as the bemused editor of AVN, and Jimmy D. as the put-upon director/punching bag when Bobby decides to get into the porno business. And a surprise cameo by Dave Cummings at the end.

Seven sex scenes in all, so full value for the renter's money.
