After several very funny and very entertaining volumes, things simmer off a bit in
Jack's Playground 19 - an edition that seems satisfied in following the formula of previous
Jack titles rather than trying something fresh. It's still a solid volume overall, but it won't be remembered as one of the best in the series.
Providing only the "Jack Recap" and the preview of the next volume at the beginning and end of this title, the famous talking dildo Montel gets very little screen time in this edition. That usually means director Robby D. has come up with some new skits he'd like to try out on the audience, but other than a few cute bits involving Charlie Laine as a girl who has a problem with kleptomania,
Jack's Playground 19 pretty much sticks with sexual action and avoids the kind of humorous set-ups we've seen in previous editions.
This volume starts off with Trina Michaels, who is a busty blonde that has both a pierced tongue and a pierced clit. She spends a few minutes talking about lap dancing with Jack and then starts to give him his own lap dance when boyfriend Joey Ray enters the room. Of course, any fan of the
Jack's series should know by now that Jack himself never sees any action, so he gets to film while Trina and Joey go at in on a bed.
Before the next scene begins, we get our first glimpse of Charlie Laine (by far the best-looking babe on this DVD), who hops in Jack's truck after stealing some stuff from a nearby store. Not only does Charlie have a problem with stealing, but every time she takes something, it really turns her on sexually!
Meagan is up next...although she's called "Lupe" by Jack throughout her scene. She doesn't speak a word of English, so Jack has a little fun saying things to her, knowing she doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. This is the first of two solo scenes in
Jack's Playground 19, as Megan masturbates and rubs herself with her fingers.
Blonde-haired Alexis is up next, a woman Eric and Jack pick up out near the beach. While Robby D. certainly can't be blamed for the performance - I'm sure he's not very happy with the energy that Alexis has here during her scene with Eric. To his credit, Robby leaves all of Alexis' stops and starts (and complaints) in the scene, so viewers can judge for themselves. It's a smart decision, since editing the scene might have made viewers wonder if her attitude had anything to do with the way she was treated during the shoot. With everything here, it's obvious that Alexis just didn't want to be there...and that Eric and Robby were doing everything they could to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Needless to say, I don't think Jack's going to be inviting Alexis back over to his place anytime soon...and I'm looking forward to the comments Montel has about her during his "Recap" segment in
Jack's Playground 20!
After the previous scene,
Jack's Playground 19 was in need of an attention grabber, and fans will certainly get that in some action between Makayla Cox and Joel Lawrence - which is far and away the best sex scene on the disc. Makayla gets reverse cowgirl, spoon and doggy, and then takes a nice pop-shot onto her face and into her mouth. The only downside of this scene is that there is a bit of dirt on the camera that was apparently missed by Robby while shooing, and may be slightly distracting depending on how big of a TV you have at home.
Charlie Laine returns in the next scene, and after ripping off a bunch of candy (mmm..M&Ms!), she shows up at Jack's place with a few DVDs to watch for the night (
28 Days Later,
Amiele and
Run Lola Run, just for the record!). But the DVDs are soon thrown by the wayside, and Charlie is busy masturbating for the camera on Jack's couch.
The last scene brings us one of the few interracial scenes we've seen so far in the
Jack's Playground series. It occurs between the nicely busty Jada Fires (who also has braces, for viewers who are into that) and Joey Ray (who has apparently dumped Trina Michaels for a taste of this Nubian princess).
Extras on the disc are the same viewers have gotten on previous versions - namely a photo gallery and a nice selection of trailers. The audio is in 5.1 and the video is anamorphically enhanced, although as noted, there is at least one scene where dirt is evident on the picture (the outdoor footage where Eric picks up Alexis at the beach also has some dirt evident).
So while this wouldn't be the first
Jack's Playground volume I'd recommend to porn fans, collectors of the series will obviously want to pick this one up. The best scene here is the one that showcases Makayla Cox - so if you're a fan of hers, you shouldn't shy away from adding this title to your collection.
