Here’s a treat for porn-loving
rock fans made by rock-loving
porn stars, and from beginning
to end there’s not a discordant
note. Written and directed by Mike
Quasar, it boasts performers who
look ready and able to tear it up on
the stage of the Viper Room.
Ricky (Small Hands) is the singer;
girlfriend Jennifer (Aiden Ashley),
manages the band—until high-
profile manager Karen Osborne
(Joanna Angel) promises to take
them to the next level. “Girlfriends
are kryptonite for successful
musicians,” Karen snarls, when
Jennifer asks about royalties.
That attitude bodes ill for Jennifer
and Alison (Whitney Wright), the
girlfriend of fellow bandmate
Tommy (Chad Alva), because the
level Karen is taking the band will
involve excess and broken hearts.
The performers do a great job
riffing on Quasar’s script, Ashley
and Small Hands are charismatic
and easy to root for. We won’t spoil
the ending, though the title (and
the fact that it’s a Wicked Passions
movie) hints it won’t be tragic.
