Contrary to popular belief, not all Vivid features remain dour dispensaries of yuppie/angst relationships. Some of the more recent releases have been pretty lively and entertaining, and, currently, Badgirls: Lockup, a Janine vehicle.

Yep, the uberblonde gets to do the Janine thing—flashing her dimples and sticking out her tongue. And she also happens to be the fulcrum of some really lively sex. One scene, particularly, between her and Debt Diamond should have a strong shot at a Best All-Girl Sex Scene nomination.

Janine is doing three years in lockup (a jail you can break out of with an X-ACTO knife) for grand theft auto. Her rap sheet also reveals embezzlement, robbery and forgery. Because her parole board (Steve Drake, Isis Nile and Sahara Sands) hearing is not boding well, Janine instigates a sexual free-for-all by attacking Isis. (Take note of Janine's departures every time a cock gets close to the action — they're as obviously construed as Clark Kent's whenever there's a job for Superman.) Janine having made her exodus, Drake mops up by taking care of Sahara with a bit of doggie and pops his shot in Isis' inviting mouth.

Janine's masturbation in a jail cell triggers Debi Diamond into action. Not that it takes much to hot wire this babe. Through a convenient hole in the jail wall, Janine plants a dildo up Debi's snatch and the squealing, raucous behavior begins its journey to porn immortality.

Why Janine, Diamond and fellow inmate Asia Carrera would want to escape this place is anyone's guess. They pretty much have the run of the establishment, and the guards seem to be pretty occupied with their own agenda as when Shawn Ricks fucks Brigitte Aime in the ass in broad daylight. Nonetheless, an escape plan is hatched as Janine's perfunctory scene with Carrera on a gynecologist's table creates a diversion as (doctor) Nick East's cock gets re-routed in a searing side saddler with the Asian one.

The great escape leads the gamine trio to a barn and a hookup with fellow inmates Alex Sanders and Tedeschi. To some unfortunate extent, the scene begins as a potential all-girl, swing-from-the-rafters blockbuster, but dissipates quickly to make way for a boy/girl foursome. (With Janine's attendant exit.)

Sanders takes on Diamond (in a Frankensteiner) and Tedeschi raps Carrera's legs in a block and tackle for a missionary shot between the thighs. So, what you do get is a more-than-able substitute. You won't be disappointed.

The question is how many more clever scriptings will allow Janine to facilely avoid a date with a dick? If they keep on being as clever and cute as Bad Girls: Lockup, I don't think it will ever be an issue.
