There is a thin plot holding the scenes together, which finds our stars at a lesbian speed dating event. We see short segments in which the women reject potential partners for various reasons, both silly and serious, and every time a match is made the movie cuts to a sex scene featuring the couple. Over the course of the movie the ten stars partner up in five scenes. Each scene is roughly 25 minutes long, while they're all pretty similar in terms of sexual activities, each pairing brings different chemistry and provides a different take on the scenario.

Dialog in the dating scenes is fairly well written, and is delivered competently by all the actresses. But the dating scenes provide a few amusing moments, but their purpose is simply to provide a setup for the sex scenes, not to provide a plot.

The sex scenes are all pretty good, with performers who are clearly interested in having sex with each other. The women are all very attractive, and provide some visual variety. These are not the cookie-cutter Barbie clones of a typical porn movie, but represent a wider age range, with a mix of both natural and augmented breasts. While there are no heavier women in the film, there are also no stick figures, as all the women are in a very healthy weight range.

Much of what is marketed as "lesbian" porn is clearly aimed at straight men. These films often feature performers who have no clear interest in other women, and often don't really know what they're doing. Similarly, "real" lesbian porn, made by lesbian women for lesbian women exists outside of the mainstream porn market, and is not marketed to a wide audience. Lip Service lies in between these two extremes, but it is much closer to the former than the latter. It is a mainstream film, and while not targeted at the lesbian community, it's also not just designed to mirror men's fantasies. Unlike the typical "girl-on-girl action" targeted solely at men, Lip Service features women who seem genuinely interested in having sex with each other. Sure, most of these women perform regularly in heterosexual porn, or may in fact be married to men, but they still seem to enjoy female-female sex, and that comes across in their performances. This makes the film much more enjoyable to watch.

There are no sex toys of any sort used in this film. The women in these scenes use only their fingers and mouths to bring each other to orgasm. They all know what they're doing, and clearly enjoy lesbian sex, but the scenes can be a bit repetitive. Viewers who enjoy watching women use vibrators or strap on dildos to fuck each other will be disappointed, as there's none of that here.

This is a film best watched in small doses. I'd suggest watching it only one scene at a time, rather than all in one sitting, due to the similarity of the various scenes.


Technical quality

The video quality is excellent. The DVD is encoded at a high bit-rate, providing for a clear picture with no compression artifacts. There's no noticeable noise or grain, and the lighting is consistently good. The audio is well balanced, and the dialog is always clear. The camerawork is effective, and the editing is not too choppy, but the editor must have been asleep on the job: on at least one occasion, a male voice can be clearly heard directing the performers.


Extras

There are no significant extras on this release. There's a photo gallery, and the typical selection of trailers, but nothing of any interest.


Packaging

This has very run-of-the-mill box design, with nothing particularly exciting or informative. The front cover has a nice photo of two women kissing, but the back cover is just a grid of small photos, with random phrases such as "Dirty little sluts" scattered about randomly, with no relationship to the actual content of the film.

I tried to watch this movie all in one sitting, and ended up a bit bored during parts this movie. Many of the scenes were very similar to each other so I began to lose interest. It's not really my type of porn film, but those who are into these types of scenes will probably really enjoy it.
