REVIEW of "Casanova"

Directed by F.J. Lincoln
Sin City Video

Starring: Rocco Siffredi, Tabatha Cash, Flame, Tracy West, Sky Blue, Randy West
	  Tina Tyler, and Bridgette Monroe

  It's fairly rare for a male porn star to get top billing in the "mainstream"
video market, but Rocco Siffredi is one of those who can, and he gets it in 
"Casanova".  Rocco has the title role, although it's not quite clear if he's
supposed to be *the* Casanova or a descendant with the family "charms".  Tabatha
Cash (a caramel-skinned, full-lipped french beauty) plays his sister, also
with the power to woo anyone she desires.

  That's the premise -- there's not really a discernible plot.  So we open with
Rocco, Randy and Skye talking in Rocco's office, Randy being Rocco's friend.  
In rapid succession Skye and then Tracy West proceed to politely rebuff the
Rocman's offers of lunch/dinner, leaving him puzzled and worried that he's los-
ing his charms.

  But we discover why he fails with Skye and Tracy as they proceed to do a 
little poolside lesbian scene, but not before observing that he *is* quite a 
hunk.  Pretty nice little scene with tongues and a double-dildo.  Too bad they
didn't break out the oil and really get slicked down.

  Rocco and Randy show up at Siffredi's house where we see Tabatha and find she
has to move in with her big bro for a while.  Randy splits, and Rocco tells
her about how he's afraid he's losing his charm.  Then we have a flashback
scene of when he first discovered he had these powers over women.  The object
of his desire in this scene is Flame, and he and the petite red-head get into
some fairly acrobatic sex on the staircase, culminating in an anal scene and a
moderate facial.  I am always amazed to see this slender female take it in the
ass (of course, if you have seen Where the Girls Sweat II, you know she can do
a bit more than just that).

  Not to be outdone, Tabatha tells big brother about how her maid fell for her
in the bath that day.  The maid is Bridgette Monroe (I'm pretty sure) a blunt-
featured blonde with large (likely fake) tits.  Nevertheless, she doesn't look 
bad soaking wet, and neither does Tabatha, who has the endearing quality of
crying out in french while being sexed.  With a little development, this girl
could become a major fan favorite.  Anyway, its a good scene.

  Rocco goes back to work the next day (he's rich and makes his own hours), 
where he again gets the brush-off from Skye and Tracy.  We find out as they
leave that they want Rocco to donate a sperm sample so they can have a kid
together.  Uh-huh.  More on this later.

  While Rocco is at work pondering his woman trouble, Randy West comes in and
naturally he can't resist Casanova's sister, so he and Tabatha get after it.
A bit pedestrian, but okay.

  Finally, Rocco finds out he's still got it as Tina Tyler (who we first met
while she was getting showered in water and then gang-fucked three ways in the 
opening of Face Dances I) appears, ostensibly on some kind of business, and 
proceeds to strip and beg Rocco to fuck her.  Rocco, being no dummy, promptly
does so.  Nice.  I like Tyler, wish she would get into talking dirty like, say,
Melanie Moore.

  After this we find out that apparently this is part I.  There's supposed to 
be a part 2, I guess to tie up the "plotlines".  Well, we actually do have one:
the sperm donor bit.  I'm sure we'll solve that problem by Rocco screwing one
or both of Skye and Tracy.  If it's only one, I hope its Tracy, who for some
unknown reason I like better.  But if he's supposed to impregnate her, how can
we get a facial? :-)

  Oh, of course.  She begs to "taste it", and then (during the afterglow) they 
realize they messed up and have to do it again.  Which brings on your typical
porn "humorous ending", as they chuckle and Rocco says, "I'll be ready in a 
minute..."

  Anyhow, a low 3 out of 5 stars, but worth a rental, no doubt.
