Rating (out of 5):
     It's somewhat rare that I get to check out a sequel to a sexploitation flick.  They are usually just a one trick pony that later falls into obscurity.  The films usually offer up some weak story, some flat characters, and lots of sex.  More or less, they are porn with a plot.  With that being said, I recently started the Pretty Peaches trilogy.  The first film was dirty fun.  It had a decent story but the acting was horrible.  The film's sequel, released almost ten years later, was a great 80s filled sex tale that had some memorable characters and gorgeous women.  I had high hopes for the third film in the series which was released 2 years later but it was a huge let down.  This one was sent my way from Vinegar Syndrome in a bluray set.  Thanks again Vin Syn for hooking me up.
     The film follows Peaches (Keisha) who lives with her mother (Adams) in the trailer park.  She has a wet dream one night and awakens with lust in her eyes.  She wants to learn everything she can about sex and spiritual enlightenment.  She sees a televangilist and sets out to meet him.  After she leaves her mother and boyfriend tries to find her but ends up hooking up.  Peaches reaches her destination and meets the preacher only to realize that her wants her young snatch.
     Sequels tend to be cash grabs.  I'm always up for a sequel but most of the time they tend to be quick flicks that have little sustenance and usually made quickly to cash in on the hype of the previous film before the people forget about it.  Pretty Peaches 3 suffered the same fate as most sequels in the past.  The acting in this one is what you would expect from a film that was half-assed.  The cast shows no dedication or heart and just spits out their lines from scene to scene until they could suck some cock.  This was a huge let down considering it also starred my newest crush, Tracey Adams.  It was clear that fucking was while they were hired and not acting.  The story for this one is more or less the same as Pretty Peaches 2.  The film follows Peaches who lives with her mother, Tracey Adams, and leaves home to go on a sexual awakening.  This is almost the same exact story as part two.  What were they thinking when they started production on this one.  There is so many scenarios I could think of to put Peaches in to make this one stand out from the others.  This was clearly another quick way to make a buck.  Finally, those of you looking for action or humor will be very disappointed.  The film has a dry story and flat characters that leaves a one dimensional film.  Overall, Pretty Peaches 3: The Quest is not a very original or entertaining film.  The story is nearly identical as the second film and offers up very little for the fan of sleazy cinema.
