The Bachelor (2003) Online

Bud Lee is not at the top of his game in this desultory Sin City take on that enduring Reality TV phenomenon "The Bachelor". Like today's so-called porn parodies, it's ripoff rather than satire.

So Steven St. Croix is cast as a pompous porn star who is making a Reality tv show for producer Ben English and director Dale DaBone. Eight gals compete for his favors, and since this is a porn project we get explicit sex instead of the mainstream version's sexual innuendo.

And that's about it, with creativity woefully lacking. Steven and the girls get interviewed, but nothing of note is said or happens. Instead of ending with an orgy (I expected a cast reunion would be employed), the show begins with an orgy of Steven and all eight humping away, and then settles into individual sex scenes. No surprise that big-dicked Brit import English and romantic figure DaBone get to sample the ladies too.

Hannah Harper is the big Sin City star and she shares the spotlight with fellow Brit import Roxy Jezel. Lee makes sure that all the girls are sexy and alluring, but fails to create an engrossing context for their sex work.

Sloppy and confusing credits confuse two characters, switching the character names for Brittney Skye and Taylor Lynn.
