Seymore Butts has been distracted much of the past year with his well-publicized obscenity bust, so we'll forgive him if Tushy Bowl 2001 isn't up to his usual very high standards.

The tape's opening appetizer has Seymore's pal Hakan Serbes fucking and briefly sphincter-stuffing a raven-haired newcomer named Luna Rio. It's a moderately warm pairing, but nothing more.

The vid's main course, meanwhile, is a prolonged Darla Crane/Gina Ryder/Ebony/Mark Davis/Lee Stone mini-orgy that, despite a few sizzling moments here and there (such as a trademark Butts tight shot of Crane sucking Davis's stiffie while Ryder eats Davis' asshole), never comes to a full boil. It doesn't really help that at times it almost feels like a porn documentary as a second camera shoots Seymore shooting the scene.

Curiously anal-light for a Butts tape, Tushy Bowl 2001 is the type of product Seymore can churn out in his sleep. Here's hoping he quickly puts his legal woes behind him so he can once again devote all his energies to making the type of grade A smut on which he's built his richly deserved rep.
