Cal Vista (Metro) has released a modern alternative take on an old classic in Erica McClean's Alice (2010). This is the sexual journey of a young woman exploring her free-spirited, budding womanhood. Our giggly Alice (played by Booble Girl of the Year, Sunny Lane) follows the sexy, White Rabbit (Andy San Dimas) down the hole into a color-washed world of the new and strange where she encounters the sexualized embodiments of popular Lewis Carroll characters. This is not a direct parody or straight-forward porn interpretation as the directors take artistic liberties in keeping the plot and dialogue minimal while maintaining the sex as primary focus.

The movie opens with Kimberly Kane's sultry voice narrating as we are introduced to Alice's world. Kimberly's character is engrossed in a (porno)graphic novel as Alice grows sleepy. We see our sexy White Rabbit beckon Alice to follow her down a well. Alice falls into a brave new world where she meets such characters as the hip-hoppy dual-personality Tweedle Dee-Dum (Aiden Starr), the mellow Caterpillar (Otto Bauer), the Cheshire Cat (Mikey Butders), the Mad Hatter (Evan Stone), the Red Queen (April Flores), the Doormouse (Katie St. Ives) and the March Hare (Seth Gamble).

First things I notice are Aiden Starr's nice natural pillowy tits and soft, feminine body. Andy San Dimas sucks those tits. A nice large, ornate glass dildo is brought out and both girls suck on it. Good clit sucking from Andy on Aiden's nub. Aiden cums into Andy's mouth then kisses her. Aiden gets a little rough with Andy, pushing her into doggie-style while fingering her cunt. Andy deep throats the glass dildo so hard she drools. Aiden uses the big glass dildo to fuck Andy. Andy loves to spit on her pussy and play with her clit. Aiden sucks Andy's clit and fingers it. Andy is pretty vocal and really into it. Aiden is quieter but quite talented with various pussy-pleasing methods. Andy goes back to sucking Aiden's pussy as Aiden hovers over Andy's face on the chair. Andy then licks Aiden's spread butthole, and switches again to Aiden's pussy. She spits on the glass dildo before penetrating Aiden's cunt, nice and deep, while licking her clit. I swear, Aiden's vagina is so shiny and wet at this point, it's sparkling. Aiden starts to get vocal as Andy prods her with the big, glass dildo again. They switch to Aiden doing the prodding. Aiden then fingers Andy with several fingers, then fists Andy's mouth and goes on to give Andy a 4-finger fuck. Andy is loving it as she deepthroats Aiden's fist. They finish off with some dirty kissing. Very impressive introductory scene.

Scene 2: Who Are You? (b/g)
Sunny Lane and Otto Bauer (Caterpillar)

This scene starts off with some corny dialog. They talk about things that change and grow, which leads to Alice touching Otto's penis through his pants. Alice inhales from the "caterpillar's" hookah pipe, then she starts to inhale his hookah. He holds her head down and starts giving instructions about keeping her head on it. He loves it when she hands-free deepthroats him. Meanwhile, he's doing his fair share of ass-slapping as he undresses her blue thong panties. He fingers her pussy and rubs her butthole as she continues to alternate deep throating and and hand-rubbing Otto's member. The first position she does is cowgirl with Otto still sitting in his chair. She has a nice soft round, but firm ass. It's very feminine and quite pink from Otto's vigorous slapping earlier. Otto's kind of boring just sitting there. He starts to play with her tits a little and whispers dirty things to her. He tells her to put her pussy on his face. They 69 on the chair as Otto practically face fucks Sunny. He loves to get deepthroated as he starts pushing her head down again on his cock. The next position we see is reverse cowgirl. She gets off his cock and proceeds to blow him again. He tells her to sit back on it. We see her get on side-saddle this time. Sunny starts smacking her own ass. Otto stands up with Sunny in cowgirl. He sits her down on the chair and continues to fuck her, sliding in and out while showing off her gaping vagina. Otto spits a bit on her pussy, then continues drilling. He does her doggie-style next. She asks for him to cum in her mouth. He pulls out and finishes himself off in Sunny's willing mouth. She proceeds to clean him up, playing with the cum in her mouth. This scene was my least favorite, but still a solid performance.

Scene 3: The Queen Takes it Royally (b/g interracial)
April Flores (Red Queen) and CJ Wright (Ace of Hearts)

CJ teases April and eats her willing cunt, she blows CJ and rubs his dick in a montage of fast screen shots. Then we see her riding CJ reverse cowgirl, followed by doggie. Then there's cum on her ample ass. It's all very spliced together and fast. I'm not really sure how you could possibly masturbate to this scene given the solitary minute the "arthouse" action lasts. Were the directors worried that seeing an overweight woman having sex in normal capture would turn the audience off? It is an interesting scene with potential, but I would have liked to see it play out longer. My advise to the directors: Don't be afraid of plump women, they won't bite... too hard. Perhaps this scene can be recut and properly released on its own for April Flores fans.

Scene 4: Kool Kat Warm Pussy (b/g)
Sunny Lane and Mikey Budgers (Cheshire Cat)

We start out with our perverted Cheshire Cat, Mikey, fondling Alice and petting her. The tease sequence is nice with some kissing and slow undress. Mikey pulls out his dick, which Sunny starts sucking slowly. He tells her to reach back and play with her pussy while sucking his dick. They kiss and she starts playing with herself, then she goes back to sucking his cock. The white fishnet pantyhose are a nice touch. Mikey rips them apart at the butt area and then fucks Sunny doggie-style. Meanwhile, Alice exclaims, to the Cheshire Cat, "Make my pussy purr!" Mikey spreads her cheeks and licks her butthole while fingering the outer lips of Sunny's pussy. That lubes her up nicely and he continues fucking her doggie-style. He slaps her ass a little and there's a nice connection there with some dirty talk between the pair. Mikey's got a decent, muscular body that's not overly ripped, and he takes the time to lick Sunny's asshole and pet her pussy between hard fuck sessions. He's holding the nape of her neck as he fucks and dirty talks her. The scene cuts to Sunny in reverse cowgirl. They lick tongues for a bit, then she sucks on a few of his fingers. He proceeds to rub her clit with those fingers. He holds Sunny's leg up, in reverse cowgirl as he bounces her on his cock, then he stands up and starts revving hard. He stands on a crate to let her give him a blowjob, which is a nice courtesy to the performer. She does a wet, sloppy polish with her mouth and hand. She spits on his cock to get it even wetter. He facefucks her while she keeps her tongue out. The scene then cuts to Sunny straddling Mikey in traditional cowgirl... watch Alice to see the exciting finish. The chemistry is great and the male performer clearly cares about the female's pleasure, which makes this one sexy scene.

Scene 5: The Tea Party and Put Some Icing on My Cake (orgy-lite segues into b/g)
Katie St. Ives (Doormouse) and Seth Gamble (March Hare) with briefly Sunny Lane and Evan Stone (Mad Hatter)

Why is a Raven like a clitoris? - asks the Mad Hatter

Sunny is fed cake by Seth as Evan does her doggie-style. In fact, everyone is feeding each other cake at the Tea Party. Then the scene turns to just the Doormouse and the March Hare (Katie & Seth). They are at a picnic table outdoors and the scene goes black and white. Seth rips Katie's shirt off. She then takes off his pants and blows him for a good, long time. He strips her pants and undies off while savoring her pussy and tiny ass a little. He puts her on the picnic table and starts fingering her a bit while licking her clit. She has one of her legs wrapped around him. He's paying close attention to how she responds. Seth's not afraid to get his face in there. The first position between this young and beautiful pair is missionary with Katie siting up on the picnic table. There's nice eye contact and definite chemistry between them. Seth has a dirty mouth and gives Katie a few directions in this scene as he takes control of her during the first position. They kiss a bit between hard fuck sessions. The next position up is Katie taking it doggie-style with one leg up on the picnic table. She licks Seth's fingers a bit. He fucks her pretty damn hard in this position. They switch to Seth lying on the picnic table with Katie on top cowgirl-style. He fucks her like a jackrabbit in this position too. Then they take a short break as he feeds her cake. There's some nice shots of him fucking her so hard that his balls are literally slapping her small ass. She asks to be fed more icing, he feeds her a bit more, then he jacks off into her mouth. She cleans off his cock and per Seth's request, she drips a little cum down her mouth. He asks to see her spit it out, to which she replies, "Spit it out?! I swallowed it!" What an enjoyable, fun scene!

Scene 6: I'm Mad as a Hatter For You (b/g)
Sunny Lane and Evan Stone

In this scene, the footage goes from black and white to a very warm, sunny, saturated color scheme. We see the Mad Hatter sucking on Alice's beautiful nipples. They're outside in the middle of nowhere by a tree dirty talking to each other. Evan fucks Sunny doggie-style to start while talking dirty in character. This scene is a testament to Evan Stone's creativity and ability to improvise. They switch position to fucking facing each other while Sunny sits on the Mad Hatter's jacket on a big rock. "I'm your dirty little Alice!" she screams as the fucking picks up pace. They kiss, then switch positions back to doggie-style, this time with Sunny bending down nice and low so he can get in deep. His balls slap her clit as he works her cunt. They move location, and he comes all over Sunny's face, some of it getting into her mouth. Then they kiss a little and the scene ends as the sun sets. You take two fun people with chemistry and you have them fuck in character and this is what you get: A really great scene that makes you smile.

Scene 7: Kimberly Kane Masturbation Scene  (solo)

Alice comes full circle as we go back to the bench where Kimberly Kane sat reading her dirty book with Alice. This time she is alone and even hornier. The scene starts off with Kane sensually undressing herself. She's wearing a white vest with a black lace corset underneath. She's wearing a satin, lace-lined skirt and some old-fashioned white, silky panties. The black thigh-highs, cameo necklace and Victorian-style, lace-up boot-heels are a nice touch. She looks amazing with short, wavy bobbed hair. We see her dirty talking to herself as she masturbates. She says things like "I want to be whipped and I want to be chained. I want to be owned and locked down, and I want somebody to tell me what to do all the time." She's outdoors and the only backdrop is a rosebush. She fingers herself, wetting her fingers by licking them. Eventually, she pulls out a sleek, blue-hued vibe. The whole scene has a blueish hue with the reds of the roses from the bush behind her really popping. As far as female masturbation goes, this scene is pretty believable in that the premise is Kane masturbating to an x-rated graphic novel. She's building a story as she works her pussy and undresses. She covers her eyes with her white panties. She fucks herself to orgasm with the vibe. This is one of the best masturbation scenes I've seen. It feels authentic.

The adult film industry has been releasing a lot of parodies of late. Alice is unique in that it isn't a literal translation, but simply takes a theme and brilliantly ties it into the sex, much like a B. Skow film. The costuming and set design combined with hot, fun sex make for something special. The costuming is immaculate and the set backdrop is an industrial urban meets the great outdoors blend. The performers are top-notch and ideal in their respective roles. The second disc has a nice behind-the-scenes featurette that gives the viewer a glimpse at what went on between takes and into the personalities of the performers as they fool around onset. This is a film that men and women can both enjoy with a high replay value. It would be a shame if Sunny Lane doesn't at least make honorable mention at the next AVN Awards for her charming portrayal of Alice.
