Vivamax: Review of CRUSH KONG CURLY: Judging the Judgemental

December 18, 2021




Elle (AJ Raval) was a popular online celebrity who gained notoriety by pleasuring herself online via private live-stream website. Her next door neighbor was architect Peter (Wilbert Ross) whom she met when she accidentally crashed through the wall that separated their bedrooms. At first, ex-seminarian Peter felt that Elle's libertine activities were immoral. However, upon getting to know her more, will he change his initial impression of her? 

Ever since she was introduced in "Paglaki Ko, Gusto Ko Maging Pornstar" in January of this year, AJ Raval had been getting more and more brazen with her onscreen exhibitionism as she got more and more confident with her acting skills. In this latest project of hers, she played an online sex goddess, so she was mostly undressed in majority of her scenes, her enhanced bosom in full display, doing some lascivious acts to herself or with someone else. 

Wilbert Ross had a good onscreen presence in his first Vivamax project as Andrew E.'s sidekick in "Shoot Shoot." Unfortunately here, Ross was awkward throughout, betraying his unpreparedness to pull off a lead role of this type. Ross was also quite prudish in his sex scenes, letting his partner Raval doing all the heavy lifting.  He did not seem comfortable to be there at all, and I don't blame him as the way his character was written was totally off-putting.

The main supporting actors have been in other Vivamax productions this year. Chad Kinis and Loren Marinas played Elle's wacky housemates, with Andrew Muhlach as Peter's sidekick. Maui Taylor and Jao Mapa played Peter's problematic sister and her depraved brother-in-law. Gina Pareno played Elle's grandmother. Actually faring better than Ross in the stud department was Gab Lagman who played Elle's high school tormentor Brian.

Director GB Sampedro attempts his second film in the sexy comedy genre, but I felt his first one "Kaka" was more entertaining than this one. I see the point he and writer Conn Escobar was trying to make about being more accepting and less judgmental when it came to people whose jobs may not sit well with your sense of morality. However, Peter's twisted story was just too contrived to be logical which newbie Ross simply could not pull off. 1/10.
