“Babysitting the Baumgartners” Adam & Eve Pictures – Director – Kay Brandt – Cast – Anikka Albrite, Sara Luvv, AJ Applegate, Mick Blue

Director Kay Brandt had been away from the adult scene since her award winning “Cherry” all girl series made a splash a few years ago. She left film to concentrate on writing best selling erotica. Then last year she returned to the director’s chair to helm the much award nominated and critically acclaimed feature “Safe Landings” for Adam & Eve. Now she follows that up with another stylish, elegant, very sexy feature for Adam & Eve with “Babysitting the Baumgartners” which is based on the best selling book by Selena Kitt. Having the King and Queen of porn, Anikka Albrite and Mick Blue as the central characters makes this film even more of a must see

The movie has elegance, class, sensuality, steamy sexuality and total realism. The dialogue from the book is transferred to film in a very believable, convincing and realistic way by the stellar cast under the fluid direction of Ms. Brandt and adds to the overall tapestry of this production. It is the kind of film that not only has the sizzling sex scenes to peak your interest, but also an excellent story line that will keep your interest level high to see what comes next in this menage a trois between the couple and their babysitter after she accepts their invitation to join them at their getaway beach house.

It opens with a narrative from Ronnie (Sara Luvv) the babysitter talking about the Baumgartners, her life around them and what   is in store as she is packing for the vacation. Then it switches to her getting some sun while Mrs. B (Anikka Albrite) comes out to join her and  as she caresses herself with suntan oil, Ronnie can’t help but notice and we see the “look’ in her eyes. Mrs. B. encourage her to take her top off, knowing she is watching her, but Ronnie says what about the kids and Mrs. B’s response is “Video games!”. The slow seduction starts and Ronnie gets up, goes inside to take a shower but visions and thoughts of Mrs. B. and the impending vacation take over and this result in an explosive shower solo. When she is done she sees the two of them together and secretly watches as Mrs. B. and Doc go at it hot and heavy and it gets her going once again. The visions of these two become a focal point in Ronnie’s life and her every waking moment.

There is a follow up scene where Ronnie just can’t stay away from spying on these two and getting off watching them. Are Doc and Mrs. B. aware that she is watching them make love all the time? Regardless, the wheels have been put into motion to bring Ronnie into the fold soon while they are on this getaway to the beach house. There is a short lived scene in the kitchen with Doc and Ronnie each eating a banana and the reference is very clear. Mrs. B. comes and whisks her away to try on some bikini’s, but again it is all part of the plan. What comes next is a very erotic shaving scene in the bathroom with Mrs. B. giving Ronnie a pubes shave that ends with some steamy results that Mrs. B enjoys seeing.

The three of them are outside in the sun and Ronnie begins to have ideas going through her head of playing with Doc. But she is brought back to reality by the kids and goes off to get them while Doc and Mrs. B. head for the small pool for some fun. When Ronnie returns she can’t keep her eyes off them no matter how she tries. But this time Doc looks over and knows she has been watching them. There are several flashbacks with Ronnie as she continues to have her mind consumed with the couple and their sexual openness and how they relate sexually with each other. Through it all, Ronnie knows that she has to find out just what it will take to become a part of all this. So does she become the seductress or the one being seduced? Many of the wheels are already in motion in this high energy, sexually packed film that will explore so many different sexual avenues. The dialogue that fits the scenes is extremely real and believable.

I could go on with more detail about this film, Like Doc watching a porn movie, jacking off and Ronnie seeing him and what happens. Or her discovery in a drawer of a cock shaped vibrator that Mrs. B. shows her what it does and a lot more. But the film is 4 hours in length and there is so much to cover. However, I think I have given you more than enough to peak your interest and whet your appetite for what all does take place between the characters. I will say that it was difficult for me not to write more of what takes place but then it would have become a novel, not a review.

To sum this release up, Ms. Brandt’s adaptation of the book and her direction just flow like a fine wine interweaving the characters and their roles. Of course having a real life husband and wife makes it a little easier, but still the dialogue, the looks, the body language all come into very important play and Ms. Brandt gets the most out of her cast and then some. As good as Anikka and Mick always are, Sara Luvv gives the best performance of her career in her role as the babysitter embarking on a whole new world of sexuality. Sara’s performance is worthy of being a Best Actress contender come awards time. AJ Applegate was her usual very sexy, sensual believable self as her friend Gretchen. The cinematography, with sunsets, starry night skies, the beach and surf shots and the overall shooting of the scenes has a very mainstream look and feel. The settings are elegant and fit into the overall canvas of this adaptation along with a music track that also plays perfectly into the different scenes. As for the sex, all I will say is that it is high powered, sensual, naughty, erotic, explosive, jaw dropping, very real, intense and power packed and whatever two or three people can do together, they did it and a lot more. It was obvious everyone was totally into not just their characters, but the sexual encounters that went from printed word to physical action.

This 2 disc production will be a very strong contender in many categories come awards time. It is very couples friendly and I warn you now to be prepared for one of the most sexual rides you will ever take with these stars. Actually being 2 discs, when part one ends with a threesome, it will give you a chance to catch your breath while you change discs for Part 2 and much more. I very, very highly recommend getting a copy today of “Babysitting the Baumgartners” from Adam & Eve, my “Friday 5 Star Feature” here on AAN.
