Surprises are an uncommon thing in the Dirty Deb series. Powers cranks 'em out like widgets on an assembly line that manufactures cookie cutters. "Here comes [insert name] climbing into my bed!" he proclaims at the beginning of each segment - followed by an inane interview and a really mediocre fuck.

The fact that some of the girls appear to enjoy boinking Ed is either a testament to his lens-defying prowess or their ability to fake an Oscar-worthy orgasm. As much as we'd like to believe the latter theory, we hate to admit it, but the former seems more likely. Props to Ed. The new girls on these volumes constitute the same kind of Debs he's been supplying for years: nubile and willing. More props. (Sonja's big hooters and Lana's Asian features will please specialty customers.)

DD331 is a crazy anomaly. Before Jessican Jammer's entrance, Powers delivers a rambling monologue, which (whenever it gets around to making a point) is downright apologetic for the subsequent scene. (You'll learn why in a moment.)

Powers asks how much education she's had. Answer: high school. He goes on yet another rambling monologue about the high price of gasoline - its European cost by the liter - and her opinion on the matter!!! Folks, Jessica Jammer wouldn't know a liter from lederhosen. Things are getting uncomfortable. And then ?

Apparently Jammer had been jamming too much trouser snake lately. She arrives with a frail pussy to tender - and Powers, ever the gentleman, bangs her anyway. Imagine if she were your wife or girlfriend and make your own moral judgments.

Retailing: As usual, regular viewers will eat it up with a plastic spoon.
