Sex and humor can go together, if done correctly, and it was done well by Thor Stephans, Jim Steel, Josh Eliot and Chi Chi LaRue in the past. Now, Michael Lucas' director and writer, Tony DiMarco, takes a stab at a storyline that seems to pay homage to The Office, Ugly Betty, The Devil Wears Prada and Death Becomes Her.
Lucas isn't beyond spoofing his own haughty image and essentially plays himself as a self-absorbed executive whose assistant Christian Cruz plays a good catty sidekick who hires an intern, Ben Andrews, who dreams of smacking a cream pie in the big boss's face. To give Lucas a lot of credit, he shows that happening, and it's not pretty.
As the demanding chief of Trojan Studios, Lucas' character is obsessed with collagen and Botox and his new real-life dildo that's about to arrive from the factory. He also is on a perpetual quest to find the biggest dick he's ever seen.
Cruz is a genuine new find and shows that he can not only deliver the sex in fantastic ways — see his debut in Auditions 19 — but he can also deliver funny lines with great ease. He's sexy, fashionable and funny. Cruz is injecting Botox into Lucas' face when nerdy Ben Andrews, who's applying for a secretarial position, gets mixed in with the cattle call for the next big porn star for the studio.
The dildo gets delivered, and it's six feet long, and Christian accidentally spills coffee in Ben's lap and when they play around in the bathroom the boss, who ends up joining in, catches them.
Always edgy and controversial, Lucas and company seem to be going for about the only award he hasn't yet won, Best Sex Comedy, and this could definitely be a contender
