Janine, back before she had sex with guys on screen and fell asleep at a tattoo parlor, stars in this lousy and apparently overrated (if IMDb's stats are to be believed) old Vivid video. She plays a comic book character that magically comes to life and harasses her creator in boring fashion.
That creator of the comic "Sunset Strip" is Steven St. Croix as Jim Warren, a disliked and hissable character who leeches off his colleagues, especially lovely Jill Kelly who is ghost-writing the strip for him. (I'm guessing that over two decades after this was released the combo of Jill and Janine is what gives fans some fond, rosy-colored memories of this loser.)
Not much of interest occurs before a big party scene (and quasi-orgy typical of the time in porn and producer Paul Thomas's emphasis on Lifestyle action) climaxes the proceedings. Unfortunately for the audience, PT did not direct, leaving this for his untalented occasional writer Austin Ellison/"Phil M. Noir" to pilot.
Nostalgically speaking, it is a pleasure to view Jill pre-boob enhancement and Janine before multi-color tattoos disfigured much of her upper torso. Their roles are not adequately fleshed out, no pun intended, and the other femmes in the cast are underutilized. Austin and PT's regular cameraman Ralph Parfait fail to give the nipples of Madelyn Knight (as Steven's nagging wife) the visual prominence they deserve, while cute Krista Maze is thrown into the mix as a groupie, and Bridgette Monroe tossed in to provide anal content. Mickey G. and Missy pop up for some more extraneous sex, and the production, evidently shot on 35mm, is so old that it predates Vivid's insistence on using condoms.
Biggest mistake here is that we never see the comic that is the be-all and end-all of the production, just a sketch of Janine's character Li'l Annie Often. Clearly it's yet one of dozens of ripoffs of that classic Playboy Magazine strip Little Annie Fanny, but at no time is the comic strip nature of the material developed. Janine is merely Janine, looking pretty and haughty but having no personality or any reason to exist other than to hump girls and fill in blank pages in the uncredited screenplay. It's sort of like doing a spoof of "I Dream of Jeannie" without any magic or anything happening except a pretty girl showing up and acting uppity.
