Apparently there are humans out there somewhere who actually enjoy watching porn stars "act" along with some kind of "plot," while for most, XXX fare is a glorious jack-off enhancer. If you are among the former category, Bad News Bitches is for you. Plenty of acting. Plenty of plot.

Hottie Nautica Thorn loses her job at the hands of a crotchety softball team owner, then challenges him: his team against hers (comprised of said Bitches). If she loses, she fucks the old fart; if she wins, she gets her job back - as a secretary for an asshole. Go figure.

It's a good five or 10 minutes before the sex kicks in; we're treated to unmemorable blonde Veronika Raquel fucking some guy in lighting that's way too harsh. Onward to Holly and Faith going at it in a standard, ho-hum lez tryst.

Finally, director Spears gets his, boffing Thorn. Again, and throughout, the thing looks like it was lit for a police line up; no blemish goes unseen. But what can you expect from a softball movie whose tag line is "Baseball will never be the same!!!"

Retailing: Push to story fans.
