Vivamax: Review of PORNSTAR 2: Base and Bare

December 3, 2021


Alma Moreno, Rosanna Roces, Ara Mina and Maui Taylor were choosing four new "porn stars" to follow in their stellar footsteps. While their 15 candidates were engaged in a free-for-all, topless, mud-wrestling match to the tune of Fred Panopio's "Mani," Lara Morena came and drove everyone away, so her girls
 -- Trinidad (Ayanna Misola), Melchora (Cara Gonzales), Josefa (Stephanie Raz) and Gabriela (Sab Aggabao) -- were left to be trained for stardom. 

This sequel just followed the formula of the first movie where the veterans taught their proteges about various naughty activities like Brazilian waxing, "folkfolk" dancing and high-tech sex toys. In the latter half, the girls will interact with their "international" consorts: Isagani (Jet Delgado) from the Philippines, Park Bo-jum (Prince Salvador) from Korea and Rashad (Rash Flores) from India and Abed (Abed Green) from Africa.

The senior stars were always dressed in various outlandish Filipiniana-inspired fashion. In one particularly over-the-top scene, the skirts of their gowns had 3-D renditions of the rice terraces, Mt. Makiling, giant clams with pearls and bulgy-eyed tarsiers (for Alma!). The young girls were dressed in color-coded, flimsy, revealing versions of Filipiniana, while modeling and posing to Hagibis songs like "Nanggigigil" and "Babae". 

The four main actresses were mainly gabbing away the whole time mentoring the girls on sex topics, with Alma always quoting from her book entitled "Alma Matters." The only scene which I found remarkable was the casually-frank bull session about their real-life experiences as bold movie stars, their leading men and their directors. In contrast, the poor new girls had no dialog at all, until one melodramatic confrontation scene came from out of the blue.

Like all his previous films (this is his 10th feature film this year alone!), this one also relied on controversially-catchy teasers. This one had a viral teaser with this scene where the girls were being educated on the penis length of various nationalities with the male actors standing in front of them showing off their family jewels. Beyond that, there was nothing more but a barely-there forced "plot" to hold their silly vulgar shenanigans together. 1/10.
