The Casting Couch, a highly erotic and hilarious sex comedy, features the directorial debut of porno superstar Ron Jeremy. He also stars in this little gem, portraying a phony movie producer who lures unsuspecting actresses upon his couch for "probing" tryouts.

The plot of The Casting Couch is simple and familiar to the adult video world. Nonetheless, the sex is quite superb. It's shot directly live on video, adding more sensuality and eroticism to the already highly-charged action. Since we know the story and the kinds of adventures our hero will experience, we depend on hot action and a sense of humor to get us through the film. Here, you won't be disappointed.

In one favorite scene, Annette Hines, playing a "nice" Italian girl, turns Jeremy's organ into a full course dinner. Her first-rate head job will leave viewers squirming in their seats.

Beautiful black newcomer, Sparky Goldberg, teaches the producer that Jewish girls do more than just "kvetch." Jeremy, claiming to be Moishe Pippich, famous Jewish film producer, eagerly introduces Sparky to his Herbrew National salami. After much humping and thumping, Jeremy explodes between her large breasts to the pulsating beat of Jewish music. Wearing a yamocha and tallis, he shouts, "Oy, vey! Oy vey!" at the moment of climax. A true religious experience!

Susan Nero, Gypsy Lyn and Jeremy combine their awesome sexual talents in a wild threesome. The sly producer eagerly services both horny women in every possible way. They respond with double fellatio that must be seen.

The entire cast performs with the kind of vigor and enthusiasm that lacks in many contemporary adult films. The performances of Sharon Kane, Anna Turner, and Johanna Storm help make Ron Jeremy's directorial debut a smashing success. But although the girls are great, most of the credit should go to Jeremy the actor, who, at this point in his career, can be a movie-saver all by himself. Even in the lesser adult films he has appeared in, his finely-tuned wit and relentless sexual energy have ben a saving grace.

As director, he has made the right decisions in camera angles, editing and cast choices. He surrounds himself with gorgeous women and an excellent male porn star as well —himself. It may seem a bit self-indulgent, but why not? If you worked as hard as Jeremy does, you'd deserve it, too.
