4.0 out of 5 stars
Pink Pay-Off, May 1, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Penthouse: Pet of the Year Play-Off 2003 (DVD)
Penthouse videos are the perfect soft videos that really border on the hard stuff... anyone familiar with Penthouse knows what I mean. The Pet Of The Year DVD's always feature what Playboy won't show you, plenty of pink. This DVD doesn't disappoint, the models waste no time spreading their legs. This DVD pushes the limits a little bit, as Penthouse is known to do. The models hands actually touch and rub their pink lips quite a bit in this DVD, and there are few instances of finger insertion that set this one apart. That's the secret to making these Penthouse productions so enticing... the models tease you, you can't wait until they do something explicit and then they deliver... all without feeling like you're watching some boring, repetitive adult movie. Models like Suzette Spencer and Sunny Leone are nice to see because you never see them in adult movies, so when you catch them sneaking a finger in during their scenes, it's really arousing. Penthouse has nearly perfected the "hard" softcore genre... get rid of the porno stars and stick to the magazine models, with lot's of spreading and the odd insertion and we've got the perfect erotic DVD.

Lots of pink fun!!!!!!!!!!!, August 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Penthouse: Pet of the Year Play-Off 2003 (DVD)
I had purchased a playboy dvd a while back thinking because it has Hot beutiful women it will be a good dvd BUT NO!! I thought it was just as bad as a cheasy cinamax movie so naturaly I was very sceptical of this Penthouse 2003 play off dvd.
Let me tell you, It gets hot as hell from the very first 10 seconds of the first scene with Suzzanna Spencer. The whole dvd maintains a sexy feel to it the whole way though. I highly recommend it!!!
This is not a porn dvd but there is Plenty of pink and fun with fingers with a little bit of insertion. I think even though you've been jadded by the hardcore stuff you will still find this dvd hot.
It would get a perfect 5 out of 5 but all it has is a chapter selection and a gallery. Where is the bonus content? there arent any trailers or any thing!!

Not as good as it should have been., April 16, 2003
This review is from: Penthouse: Pet of the Year Play-Off 2003 (DVD)
Penthouse's video offerings have yet to catch up to their magazine when it comes to explicitness, but that's not what I buy these movies for. In these features, it seems that the models are getting away with something on camera, and that's what's fun. Hard teasing with the occasional pay-off from gorgeous girls is a lot more erotic than the majority of the harder stuff out there.
Production-wise, the DVD's okay. It has the standard Penthouse menus found in every other title of recent release. The picture quality itself seems a little lacking. There's lots of soft lighting, and a general 'high-end home movie camera' feeling to it all. It just isn't as good-looking as most of Penthouse's other features.
There are nine features split amongst six different girls. After the introduction, we meet Suzette Spencer in a pink bikini, sitting on the edge of a bathtub. She plays with the foam and faucet a bit, but there's nothing really special about this scene. Next is Sunny Leone in a bedroom. The scene starts with a great shot of her in a sheer white nightgown backlit by a window 'it looks very sexy. There's some covert finger disappearing acts going on during this scene once or twice, but the angle of the camera and Sunny's hand prevent you from really seeing anything. Ava Vincent turns up in a harem get-up to rub her body a bit. It's a nice scene, but there's nothing that makes it stand out. Sunny comes back again, this time in a red dress. While the whole scene is very nice, it's a bit of a rehash of Sunny's first scene. Next up is the DVD's first of three girl-girl sequences; this one features Linn Thomas and Aria Giovanni. There's the standard tongue to tongue and tongue to nipple play we've all come to expect from Penthouse, rounded out by some body rubbing. The 'sex' is in the vein of late night cable: anything worth seeing is blocked by a well-placed leg or a mop of hair. Aria looks really good in this scene, but Linn comes off a little sleazy. Maybe it's the hairdo she sports. The scene just comes off as anti-climactic. After that, we get a special treat from adult superstar Devon. There's some heavy rubbing going on for a bit 'almost bordering on hardcore'until we finally get a real pay-off, up close and very clear. Despite her weird Elvis sneer and plastic breasts, Devon kicks some life back into the feature. The next chapter is really three smaller features crammed into one. First up, Suzette's back with some more heavy body rubbing. Next we have Sunny on a couch with her vinyl gloves and boots, doing similar stuff from her other scenes. Linn joins her in a rehash of Linn's previous scene with Aria. Then we're back to Suzette on a couch. This sequence is probably the best on the disk. Suzette does some nice stuff in this scene, including some rather explicit close-ups. However, this scene has some really annoying editing. The music is mainly soft, low-key background stuff, but every now and then someone decided to throw out some hard guitar riffs. The scene edits in black spots to these riffs, breaking up the action in an MTV-on-Prozac kind of edit. It just ruins the scene. After this, Linn gets her own solo scene in a pair of fishnets. There's a little play with her underwear and some body rubbing, but there's nothing exciting going on after the first 30 seconds or so. The whole feature finishes off with Suzette and Linn on a pool table with the standard girl-girl late night cable sex that we saw in the other two girl-girl scenes. Admittedly, the close-ups are more explicit, but these scenes don't push the softcore edge like the ones in Pets in Paradise 2 or Dear Diary.
In the end, this disk is a mixed bag.
Pros: I'm not a Devon fan, but her single scene breathed some life back into the feature when it was prematurely winding down. Sunny Leone is one of the hottest women I've seen in a long time. She just radiates this 'Naughty Jennifer Connelly' look, especially in the red dress sequence. I'm glad she was picked as the Pet of the Year. However, this disk really belongs to Suzette Spencer. Sunny does the same stuff in every scene, but Suzette makes us stick around until the end. In her four appearances, she starts with a standard tease, kicks it up with some heavy play beneath the underwear, gives us the pay-off, then caps it all off with a girl-girl scene. Go Ms. Spencer, go!
Cons: According to several polls, Aria Giovanni was the most popular pick for Pet of the Year among the Internet community, so why is she used in one mediocre scene? She should have got at least one solo scene. As much as I love Sunny Leone, her scenes (while still hot) were a bit of a let down after her steaming debut in Pets in Paradise. My biggest gripe is Linn Thomas. She's got a nice body, but her face just looks too 'porn star' to me. I just didn't think she was very pretty or sexy enough to be in league with the other girls on the DVD. She only really looked decent in her solo sequence. Linn's in every girl-girl scene, as well as one of her own; I feel this is a waste. Her solo scene should have gone to Aria, and the much prettier Ava Vincent should have gotten to replace her in one of the lesbian scenes. Ava and Sunny would have been awesome.
Buy this DVD only if you're a fan of Suzette Spencer or Sunny Leone. Don't buy it for Aria Giovanni 'she's barely on the thing. Pets in Paradise 1 & 2 also feature Sunny and Devon in more explicit action.
