Porn
is a strongly visual medium, rarely in need of a director sitting in
front of the camera and then narrating what the scene is about and/or
what's going to happen.  Like some sort of perverted read-along LP, Working Hard features "narrator" Brent Corrigan introduce each scene and announce
what will happen as well as what he liked about shooting it.  This
technique is a wasted opportunity because (A) Brent is neither
fascinating nor introspective and (B) he gives away the "surprise" of
what happens in each scene. Granted, most of us can reasonably predict
what might happen (it probably involves S-E-X) but when a film wastes
footage devoted to boring interviews, then one has to wonder whether
the director was just trying to pad out the length of the film.  I
would say let the sex speak for itself.

Speaking of sex, Working Hard might have been better retitled Hardly Working.  Though the sex scenes are properly shot and lit, there is just a
general lack of enthusiasm displayed by the performers.  For example,
two of the scenes actually feature the actors saying "alright let's
fuck now."  After announcing this, you can almost detect the ennui on
the models' faces while they fantasize about collecting their checks
afterwards.  The sheer fact that they even have to talk about what they
are about to do, is a really bad sign.  The film's other problem lies
with the quantity of models used.  There are six models used here, to
be exact.  Unfortunately, they are recycled in nearly every scene and
every combination possible, leaving a bland aftertaste in the
audience's mouth.  This lethal concoction of so-so sex scenes and
overplayed models makes for an overall lackluster experience.  Even the
film's shining grace, a hot and passionate romp between two brunettes
in scene two, can't save this reviewer from feeling like people
shouldn't be buying this film.

Scene One: Andy Banks, Ryan Buckley, and Randy

Andy
Banks, a brunette lad with an uncut dick, wants to find out how to be a
porn star. Though he reads a book about the industry, two young and
hung guys (Ryan and Randy) offer to show him the ropes (and perhaps the
chains later!).  The porn stars pull out their cocks so that Andy can
show off his developing oral skills.  The guys then take turns sucking
on Andy's uncut member as well.  Andy then returns to sucking on the
guys' dicks. After the mouth action, Andy is fucked by Ryan (a skinny
brunette with a curved cock) with his legs held up.  Randy (a young
looking brunette with braces!) feeds Andy his cock on the other side.
 At one point Ryan tilts his head down to taste Randy's cock while he
pumps away.  Eventually, Randy gets his chance to fuck the porn star
wannabe's hole as well. Randy seriously plows his big dick into Andy's
accommodating hole, while Ryan feeds Andy his cock.  The trio then form
a fucking chain-gang, with Ryan sandwiched in the middle.  In this
position, all three of the guys grunt and moan in unison.  Finally,
Andy spurts off a load onto his own chest, followed by the guys adding
their own spunk piles onto Andy's nubile chest. 

Scene Two: Jake Green and Hunter

Two
attractive brunettes passionately make out in bed.  Jake Green has a
little bit of pussy eater's stubble while Hunter has spiked hair.
 After some heavy kissing, Jake heads south to pleasure Hunter's fat
cock.  Hunter also partakes in the oral action, simultaneously sucking
and finger-probing Jake's ass. With his ass ready for plowing, Jake is
fucked on his side.  While the guys screw away, the fabulously gay duo
continues to kiss each other with an intensity rarely seen in porn.
 Jake is also fucked in a straddle position and in a sweaty doggy
style.  The guys continue to tongue-probe each other's mouths while
they stroke off their own dicks.  Jake unloads onto Hunter's chest,
followed by Hunter cumming immediately after that.

Scene Three: Randy, Hunter, and Brent Corrigan

Brent
(skinny brunette with a mostly smooth body) gets on his knees and
starts to service the hard n' ready brunettes.  Brent shoves both of
the guys' cocks into his mouth at once, while Randy and Hunter kiss
each other above.  Hunter then sits on the couch and alternates between
sucking on each of the guys and rimming Brent's mangina.  Reliable
Randy then starts to fuck Brent from behind while Hunter face-fucks
him.  After a while, Hunter takes over the fucking festivities.  Randy
then returns again to screwing Brent's ass in a straddle position.
 Finally, the boys assume an acrobatic double penetration where Brent
is the cream stuffing in this sexy Oreo.  Randy does most of the
pumping, stimulating Hunter's cock and stretching Brent's hole to the
max.  Brent ultimately oozes out a creamy load while Randy continues to
plow his hole.  Hunter follows with a thick mess landing on Brent's
chest.  Randy adds his spunk to the pile too, ending with Brent licking
Randy's spent cock for a little extra flavor.

Scene Four: Andy Banks, Ryan Buckley, Jake Green, and Brent Corrigan

Brent
and cameraman Ryan start to film Jake Green (tall and lanky brunette)
and Andy Banks while they make out.  The titillating oral action
between the guys entices Brent and Ryan to have a little fun of their
own.  Ryan sucks down Brent's cock while the other guys share blow
jobs.  Brent returns some of the oral favors to Ryan until the duo
eventually form a 69 position.  Brent then fucks Ryan from behind while
Jake and Andy screw nearby. At one point, Andy is held up in the air
by Jake, while his ass is plowed below him.  Brent eventually offers up
his hole to Ryan so the guys screw on the floor.  Finally, Brent drips
out a load onto his own chest, followed by Ryan contributing to the
mess.  Jake and Andy stroke off their dicks side-by-side, watching the
action down below.

Scene Five: Andy Banks and Brent Corrigan

Andy
and Brent (yet again) start to make out.  Brent sucks on Andy's uncut
cock first.  Andy then sucks on Brent while he rests on his knees.  In
this position, Brent takes pleasure in feeding Andy his cock from
above.  The guys then 69 before Brent offers up his hole for fucking.
 On his back, Brent is screwed with his legs held up until he unleashes
some cum onto his own chest.  After that, Brent climbs on top of the
couch arm so that Andy can fuck him some more.  Andy then lies on his
side so that Brent can screw him from behind.  With his surprisingly
thick cock, Brent fucks Andy from behind, jack-hammering his cock deep
into him.  Ultimately, Andy cums onto his own abs, followed by Brent
spilling his seed onto his own chest.

The DVD:

Video:

Presented
in anamorphic widescreen, the image was sharp and colorful.  The only
thing to complain about was the camera's auto-focusing in the first
segment, where the image became temporarily fuzzy as the camera tried
to refocus.  This is hardly a deal breaker, but it was noticeable.  

Audio:

I
didn't care for the audio because of the distracting ambient humming
noise that was present in most scenes.  All of the action can be heard,
however.  Additionally, I found the sound mix to be rather lacking
because of the slight echo laden effects that occurs when some of the
actors spoke.  

 
Extras:

Extras consist of a static menu (hello 1997!) and a couple of trailers.  

Final Thoughts:

Brent Corrigan's Working Hard is
an amateur porn title in every sense of the word.  Lacking enthusiastic
performers and featuring a so-so soundmix, as well as a redundant
introduction for each scene, Working Hard is just worth a Rent it.
