From the producer's perspective, lesbian scenes are terrific because a number of them can be shot in the same time it takes to capture a hetero encounter. A simple viewer's perspective - they like 'em! (Apparently without much judgment.) The critic's perspective, however, is perhaps the toughest: Despite the overabundance of G/G gropes available, exceedingly few are genuinely hot.

Such is the case with NBA, a European production that substitutes production values for sensuality. (Why that symptom occurs so damned often is entirely another story, but at least it explains our rating.) So, despite the gorgeous babes, upscale lingerie, glass dildos and moody ambiance, this release is dispassionate as a plastic menu is to a hot gourmet meal. Of course this won't matter one bit if your customers prefer prepackaged food.

Retailing: Couples of both sexes.
