Good release for lovers of Latinas, despite a few glaring weaknesses like awkward transitions, lighting that inexplicably ranges from awesome to horrendous, terribly bruised-up talent, and shameless and unnecessary plugging of Wicked in any way possible (i.e., cheesy graffiti-style on the wall of a body shop and the closing shot of a bottle of Wicked Caliente Hot Sauce). Nonetheless, the girls - Jasmine Byrne, Alexis Amore and friends - are gorgeous and sensual and must be commended along with director Rod Hopkins for their hot action.

DVD features audio in three languages - English, Spanish and German. If it weren't for the technical flaws, Caliente would have received a much higher rating. On the other hand, most porn purchasers are probably used to lower quality and will consider this a nice step up, as the sex is very hot throughout.

Pre-nom: Jasmine Byrne for Best New Starlet.

Retailing: A Latina lover's delight.
