Housewives begins with what looks like a plot-driven conflict right out of The Outer Limits: Randy Spears has cloned "the perfect housewife" - Pason - who not only does windows (thankfully not shown here) but is also willing to fuck him any way he pleases before retiring to a corner. Her scene is the best this feature has to offer. Besides looking stunningly beautiful - hey, we're a sucker for redheads - Pason is sex personified as she bathes Randy, and later, in bed, licks his nipples before mounting him cowgirl-style, displaying terrific hip action. Anal mish follows, with Pason rubbing her clit. And she really shows off her bod in the anal reverse cowgirl before the facial. It's a long scene, and well worth its - and a Best Couples Scene pre-nom.

But the feature stops dead in its tracks at about the 45 minute mark, and while we always enjoy watching Julia Ann pleasure herself, and later fucking Trevor Zen in reverse cowgirl, doggie and mish, the subtlety and pacing of the first two-and-a-half scenes (including one b.j.) has disappeared - and the finale, with Audrey Hollander taking on three guys one at a time, doesn't bring it back.
