Audio/Video Quality: Sadly, the picture looks very grainy and the colors bleed. There was some pixelation as well. The audio was not terrible but the music was very repetitive.

Body of Review: Scent is a porn version of the mainstream movie, Scent of a Woman. The lead is played by Bobby who tries to give us his best Al Pacino impersonation in the role. The role of the young assistant is aptly played by Kira who is sensible enough to play it like she never saw the original movie. There was some humor in the movie relating to a fictitious game show but it didn't get in the way of the sex scenes. Here's a breakdown of the scenes by cast but please remember that Vivid didn't provide credits:

Scene One: Tyce jumps Kira in bed and the two roll around a bit, enjoying oral and vaginal sex along with a 69. It wasn't great but it wasn't lousy either. I believe Deva masturbated in and on the truck outside while she waited for them to finish.

Scene Two: In the most energetic and warm scene of the movie, Renee took care of Joel in the dressing room. Oral, straight and finishing with a titty fuck, the couple had some fun and it showed.

Scene Three: Bobby boned April(?) in an alley in an okay scene which included oral, straight and doggy entry anal. She didn't seem into the action but it wasn't too bad to watch.

Scene Four: Joel does Sky while the audience watches on the set of the TV show. The scene had oral and vaginal sex as well as some heat.

Scene Five: Bobby found his soulmate in Kira as the two boned on a couch. It had anal as well as oral and vaginal sex. She seemed into it a little bit from time to time.

Summary: The movie wasn't the best I've seen lately, especially since the picture was so flawed. I think Vivid should take out the bonus scenes if it's going to effect the picture quality of the feature so much or at least limit the bonus scenes to a handful of really good ones. Take note that a couple of those scenes were nearly as good as Renee's in the feature so picking the best ones to include while dropping the weaker ones seems prudent. My biggest gripe after the picture quality was the spam at the beginning of the dvd-who wants to be forced to watch phone sex commercials after renting or buying a dvd? All in all, a fairy average Vivid release.
