Beautiful Review


Directed by Paul Thomas. Released by Vivid Entertainment in 1997.

Jon Dough plays Jeff who is about to marry wealthy Angelique (played by N'J De Bahia). However, he becomes smitten with Tracy (played by Kaitlyn Ashley), a "trailer park" girl from Oklahoma and must decide if he is going to marry for love or money. Story Grade: B.

This feature was shot on film. Medium Grade: A.

Mostly actual locations were used in this production. The hotel room set looked phony. Bonus points for including the Bud Light signage. Set Design Grade: B+.

The sexual performances were good, but they weren't particularly spectacular. There seemed to be a lack of passion in many. Vince Voyuer used a condom with Stephanie Swift and Jon Dough used a condom with N'J De Bahia. Otherwise, there were no other condoms used. (Condom use has no bearing on the grade.) Sexual Performances Grade: B-.

Since Jon Dough was marrying a French girl, it would have helped if he spoke a bit of French in this movie. The character of Caleb (played by Sergio Demon) spoke to him in French, but Dough continuously replied to him in English only. A mix of the two languages would have been more realistic. The silent fight between Mickey G. and Jon Dough was also odd. Acting Grade: B-.

Costume choices seemed to be appropriate. Wardrobe/Make-up Grade: A.

The lighting quality was good and consistent throughout the feature. Lighting Grade: A.

The sound quality was also good and consistent throughout. The score felt appropriate; however, the fight scene could have been scored better to add more tension. Sound Grade: B+.

There should have been a link established between Mickey G.'s character and Kaitlyn Ashley's character earlier in the picture. Also, it seemed that Sergio Demon's character had gained knowledge of Jeff and Tracy earlier in the feature, but his involvement was never really explained. Directing Grade: B+.

There was an attempt to make motel set, although phony, somewhat realistic by having rain fall outside the windows that matched the real establishing shot. Using mostly real locations indicates that an effort was made to make the story real. Artistic Merit Grade: B+.

OVERALL GRADE: B+.
