DVD Review: “Teenage Runaways”

There is a house atop a dusty hill in Chatsworth, CA that appears to be a magnet for runaway teen women. These are not the kind of runaways with little bindles and crushed felt hats, accompanied by adorable dogs and singing teary Irish ballads for scraps through worsening tuberculosis.

Nope, these are teenage runaways who suck cock. Read our review of Sex Z Pictures' "Teenage Runaways" after the gap.

Review by G. Ponante

Is a teen a runaway if you kick her out? That was my question for director Daniel Dakota of this film for Sex Z Pictures. Because if my daughter ever felt the need to dress the way these teens do, I would kick her out, after a great deal of shame about my failure as a parent.

Roxy Jezel and Keanni Lei walk up a dusty Porn Valley road. They are in high heels, short shorts, full makeup, and see-through tops without bras. Wherever they are running from, it would have to be close by. They walk into a house and begin playing with the vibrators found conveniently therein, until they are interrupted by the owner of the house, whose bandanna and board shorts didn't convince me that he was the owner.

I was surprised to find that no other movie has been named "Teenage Runaways", but of course that isn't true. What, then, distinguishes this movie from the dozen other porn movies called "Teenage Runaways"? Well, there seems to be a decided lack of bus station menace to scenes, and if any of the teens are worried about being homeless, they seem very brave.

The next scene finds Ice La Foxx and Lexi Love at the same house attempting to steal a car. They are quickly apprehended by a plainclothes police sergeant who interrogates them up the ass. To be fair, he first asks if they are runaways to justify the title.

Victoria Allure and Victoria Sweet, playing actresses on a casting couch in the next scene, don't allude to being runaways once. I guess it's implied.

Felix Vicious and a young man who appears to be a foot shorter than she is are the runaways in the next scene. They find an unused room and ease their homesickness on one another. Vicious is both expressive and tall. Her performance is fun to watch.

By the final scene there is no pretense made about runaways or teens. Courtney Simpson, unable to pay her rent, entreats the police sergeant from earlier in the movie, who is apparently her landlord, to let her service him for the rent. For a police sergeant in Los Angeles to own a house like that implies corruption and graft.

While the two of them are in the middle of their payment, his wife, Sara Jay, walks in. "You've hurt my feelings," she says dully, the red-hot shame of a compromised woman threatening to melt my DVD player. She joins in.

This is a movie which is shot and lit well that features tiny spinners more or less inhabiting the title roles, along with Jay, who is older and more womanly. Is Jay, as the humiliated wife, doomed to later produce a "Teenage Runaway" of her own?
