Sweet Young Foxes Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Brian Orndorf August 25, 2015

Bob Chinn’s “Sweet Young Foxes” is the polar opposite of his work on “The Young Like It Hot.” Instead of lighthearted fun, the feature goes dramatic, exploring a particularly illuminating summer for college freshman Laura (Hyapatia Lee), who tries to make sense of the world without her boyfriend, bickering with her mother, Julie (Kay Parker, who earned an award for her solid performance), and seeking comfort with friends (Cara Lott and Cindy Carver). Displaying surprising solemnity, “Sweet Young Foxes” struggles to manage the extremity of penetration with the intimacy of wounded feelings.


Characters aren’t a top priority for “Sweet Young Foxes,” which only provides a basic outline of frustration for Laura and Julie, who face changes in their lives that require consideration before action. There’s a theme of broken families that plays imposingly, finding the feature interested in surveying the emotional wreckage that comes with domestic disillusionment, but there’s not much time to dig deep. Most of the picture is understandably devoted to sex scenes, bringing in Eric Edwards and Pat Manning to portray seductive types who have their way with the stars. The balance between sadness and arousal is always jarring, but “Sweet Young Foxes” deserves credit for the attempt, trying to take Julie’s crisis as seriously as possible in a movie that co-stars Ron Jeremy.

The AVC encoded image (1.78:1 aspect ratio) presentation sets a more romantic mood, offering softer cinematography that favors glowing lights. Detail remains, with a favorable read of nudity, which cleanly displays personal care and body hair, and locations retain textures and distances. Grain is heavy at times, but never unruly. Colors are secure and expressive, with powerful primaries on costuming and make-up. Delineation goes about as far as it can, keeping evening encounters open for study. A minor amount of debris and vertical scratched are detected, but the source is stable and fresh.

The 1.0 DTS-HD MA sound mix commences with the title song, setting a musical mood that's enjoyable and communicative, with scoring cues supporting sex scenes. Dialogue changes are satisfactory, capturing dramatics without distortion. Hiss and pops carry throughout the listening experience, but never overwhelm the essentials.

  • Interview (10:01, HD) with a noticeably subdued Bob Chinn glumly walks through his early career and introduction to adult film direction. The information contained here is adequate, sharing some details on "Sweet Young Foxes" and "The Young Like It Hot," but Chinn doesn't look delighted with the conversation.
  • And a Theatrical Trailer (3:26, HD) is included.


Sweet Young Foxes Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

Weirdly, the production becomes so caught up in the hippity-dippity, it actually forgets to provide a conclusion. Instead, substantial voiceover is quickly produced to share character fates, hastily trying to secure an ending without spending additional budgetary dollars to visualize one. Ironically, for a movie that features numerous climaxes, there isn't one saved for the story, sending off this minor effort of serious business without much in the way of dramatic satisfaction.
