It's very hard to find good porno movies, especially when the film intend to make a parody of a great cinema box-office. In the case of "Summer of '72" - that borrowed the title from the famous Robert Mulligan's "Summer of '42" - we can see a wonderful and delightful surprise. First, the actors. Annette Haven, star of the unforgettable "The Opening of Misty Beethoven" (1976), portrays a mid-aged woman who meets a timid and insecure teenager (Richard Pacheco). The couple performs the final scene love and, for my surprise, it was not a disgusting and mechanical sex scene, but a very passionate one. It seems that the actors truly understood the spirit of the plot and, for sure, made a marvelous happy ending. Also in the cast, Paul Thomas plays Richard's best friend, a not-so-good companion, who likes to tease him with the expression "chunk". Second, the plot. Intelligent, as good as its mentor. This time we have the opportunity to see not only fake actors doing the same old thing, but players who try - and get it - to show a little bit of interpretation. Third, it's an old-fashioned movie. Unfortunately, we cannot see films like that anymore. If we don't research the good oldies, forget it! This one is an exception among thousands of boring porno movies.
