The Movie:

"Barely 18" offers what it boasts: young girls who have just recently turned legal. This edition of the series is subtitled, "Slumber Party". While the whole "Slumber Party" theme alone will be a positive aspect for many fans, I really liked the fact that the theme resulted in bringing all of the actresses together throughout the movie - between every scene, the girls are all sitting around in skimpy outfits and chatting. It's certainly a better way to fill out a porn movie running time than having a whole plot to go through to get to the action.

First up is Aaralynn Barra, a cute little blonde with a nice small, perky moderate-sized boobs and a good general figure (lean, but not bony.) Her male co-star spends a whole lot of time energetically giving her oral, which she goes wild for. He playfully slaps her with his dick before taking her head and getting some aggressive oral from her before grabbing her and positioning her on the couch for some missionary. It's not long after he sticks it in that her eyes practically roll back in her head. I've always said that I think porn isn't enjoyable if it looks like the actress isn't really into it and in this case, Aaralynn seems to be loving every minute. The two go at it doggystyle for a while before she gets railed in the rear in different positions. The scene ends with a load to her face.

Veronica Stone is up next and she has kind of an interesting appeal. The brunette has a very nice, lean body (long legs, nice breasts), but she has sort of a slightly gawky, dorky feel to her (the glasses add to it). She takes her boyfriend's PSP system away because she wants some lovin'. He's ticked and they engage in some rough foreplay, including throat-fucking, which leads to some fairly aggressive pounding in missionary, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl & doggy. I liked this scene, although the chemistry wasn't quite as good as the first scene.

Next is Lara Croft, a pretty Asian girl with great features and a solid figure (nice legs, lean). Her co-star starts things off by warming her up with some enthusiastic oral before she returns the favor. She then rides him reverse cowgirl on the stairs before grabbing her and changing it up to doggy, as we get a tight close-up of the action. As the scene rolls on, Lara gets more into it. The scene ends with a load to the face.

The following scene is a threesome between a male co-star, who takes turns railing the girls in doggy, reverse cowgirl and other positions. There is some minor licking between the girls at times, but not much. The scene ends with the two girls each getting half the load. Finally, Carmen Pena, an energetic Latin girl, rounds out the tape. Cute and looking ready to go from the first moment, she grabs her co-stars head and goes crazy as he goes down on her and aggressively goes down on him not long after. The two make for a lively scene, with her getting it reverse cowgirl, missionary and doggy before taking a load to the face.

No condoms used.

The DVD

VIDEO: Crisp, generally clean 1.33:1 full-frame presentation. Sharpness and detail were fairly good and although there were some instances of artifacting, the picture mostly appeared clean. Colors mostly looked natural, but could

SOUND: Fine stereo soundtrack with clear dialogue and no distortion.

EXTRAS: A 7 minute behind-the-scenes featurette, a couple of minutes of interviews with each actress, cumshot recap, photo gallery, ads, weblink, credits.

Final Thoughts: "Barely 18 #26" certainly qualifies as a good title in this genre, with mostly attractive women who looked - as the title notes - "barely 18". However, what kept it from going from good-to-great was that, while there were a few great scenes (such as the first one), there were a couple that were just satisfactory - not bad, but nothing too special. Overall, recommended.
