REVIEWS

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

No, this story-driven vehicle isn't the porn version of the '70s made-for-TV-movie Bad Ronald, although most of the performers here were probably approaching adulthood when it originally aired. Nina Hartley is miscast in the lead role (it would have been more effective with a younger girl) as Penny. She and rich guy James Bonn are on their honeymoon, though Hartley only married him to please her parents. She thinks long-haired drifter Tony Tedeschi offers more potential for adventure, so after he inadvertently knocks Bonn out cold, she dons a short black wig, goes on the run with him and fucks him in two separate scenes (the first one is the superior match-up, with lots of kissing). Mike Horner turns in a decent non-sex performance as the hick sheriff assigned to find Hartley, and Goth-looking deputy Tina Tyler mixes it up with Bonn in a serviceable encounter.
