When you go out on a limb with a "butt" title, you either have to deliver a show that's either almost all anal or exploitational enough to make even John Stagliano blush. Best Butt(e) in the West delivers a little of both, but not enough of either to cart home the grand prize. It comes close, though and turns out to be a very erotic sex video.

Brandy Alexandre plays a burned-out New York P.R. exec who's assigned to handle an account in Butte, Montana. It turns out to be a rundown bar owned by Randy West, but Brandy mistakenly thinks it's a whorehouse. It ain't, of course, but the mistaken identity ploy might have added a helpful stroke of levity since most of the characters in this Country & Western opus look like they're posing for "American Gothic."

The sexual payoff comes in the title's suggestion and Brandy's efforts to instill a little life into the bar by staging a best ass contest. The T&A shtick and all the showcase sex scenes try to use the posterior as the main point of focal attack.

As one might have reason to suspect, Tiffany Mynx is in the cast for the star quality of her rear end which rivals Alexandre's for "best ass in the biz" title. She and Brandy share the load with two sex scenes apiece, with Tiffany taking on Biff Malibu in the show's only yawner. Tiffany and Biff cut a deal in which he wants to buy a winch for his truck. She tells him he has to eat her pussy for 15 minutes, and the camera looks like it's spending every single second covering the event. The square-up scene, however, comes when Tiffany takes it up the ass from Marc Wallice in a yippie-yippie-yay threesome that involves Butler, though it's not a d.p. as logic would dictate.

Alex Jordan handles West in a barstool doggie sequence that lends a festive view of her beautiful buns, and redhead Flame, looking like a Tanya Tucker groupie in western attire, schtupps Jonathan Morgan.

The script is pretty novel and there's actual Butte extriors to lend credence to the mood along with some well-dressed studio sets. The camerawork doesn't quite cover all the hot stuff, but what we get on screen is better than most sex videos can ever hope to aspire to. Nice packaging adds to the mix.
