THE SEX

Porn titles seem to get edgier and edgier these days, so it's always nice to see a release where the main goal is to just have lighthearted fun. Such is the case with Madness Pictures' The Magic Sex Genie, a humorous adult feature that stars porn legend Ron Jeremy in the title role.

A guy is trolling the beach one morning with his metal detector looking for coins when he stumbles on a genie bottle. But he can't figure out a way to open it, so he sells it off at a garage sale for a mere three dollars. Alexis Malone comes along and buys the bottle and takes it home with her, where she summons up the genie – played by Ron. Ron explains to her that his job is to provide her with her sexual fantasy and then she has to pass the bottle along to a friend, so he can do the same with the next person.

Alexis' fantasy involves having sex with a famous rocker (played by Barrett Blade). There's only one problem: the rock star in question is already dead! So it's up to heaven for Alexis, where she and Barrett make out on a red couch against the blue sky of the afterlife (the scene appears to have been shot against a blue or green screen).

Alexis then passes the bottle on to her pal Cherry Rain (a hot redhead) who asks Ron if she can make out with a fairy nymph in an enchanted forest. Cherry teams up with fellow redhead Justine for some lesbian action that doesn't include any toys – just lots of tongues and fingers.

The next girl to get the bottle is Rachel Rotten, a dark haired starlet with a very goth look to her. If you think Rachel is a little on the "scary" side (and Ron's character certainly does!), wait until you check out her boyfriend Rob Rotten! Rob has more tattoos than any person need have, and he wears his hair in a porcupine spiked style that is reminiscent of the way every punk rocker from the 80's looked.

After Rachel and Rob have gotten it on, the bottle winds up in the hands of Taylor Rain, whose fantasy is to dress up like Cleopatra and make out with two male Egyptian slaves (Talon and Tristan Seagal). This is perhaps the best scene in the movie, as Taylor gets anally pounded and gets some double penetration action shortly before both guys jerk off onto her face.

The movie's final scene showcases Angel Long [Note: The box cover mistakenly identifies her as Ashley Long, but she's correctly identified in the movie's credits], whose wish is to make it with Ron himself. Seeing a portly Ron Jeremy in action these days isn't the most appealing thing, but it could very well enhance some viewer's enjoyment since if the less-than-average looking Jeremy can score with a hot porn babe, perhaps there's hope for us all!

VIDEO/AUDIO

Both the video and audio quality are just a tad above average for an adult release. The video is presented in the letterboxed format, although it's not anamorphically enhanced. The audio is 2.0 Dolby Digital.

THE EXTRAS

Although the box cover claims that there is a behind the scenes segment, done can be found on the DVD. Instead, viewers will be treated to three minutes worth of Bloopers, a Photo Gallery, and a page that shows box covers of three other releases – but offers no trailers for any of them. All in all, a pretty slim selection of extras.

BRIAN'S BOTTOM LINE

Light and fluffy, there's an enjoyment to watching The Magic Sex Genie that gives it pretty solid "replay" value. Most of the sex scenes are well-shot and entertaining, and Ron's humor adds a lot to the appeal of this disc. If you're a fan of the adult feature and are looking for a few laughs, add this one to your collection.
