The Stepmother 10

Ruined by Deen

This edition of Sweet Sinner&apos;s enduring &quot;The Stepmother&quot; series features a straightforward family drama screenplay by Melissa Monet, but extreme overacting by male lead James Deen ruins the picture.

Deen is an enigma to me: like Ron Jeremy he is an icon of Adult Cinema, appearing in thousands of titles and a household name for fans. Yet like Jeremy, he&apos;s a boring performer, always doing the same actions, the same gestures. No accounting for popular taste.

Title role is played with familiar quirks by Dana DeArmond, about to marry Steven St. Croix. She convinces him to invite his estranged adult children to visit them ahead of the wedding for a reconciliation.

Steven obliges, but after a sex scene with her husband Tyler Nixon, daughter Anikka Albrite is written out of the picture.

Son played by Deen holds a deeply felt grudge against dad for how his mother was treated, but Deen&apos;s girlfriend Amanda Tate convinces him to go (taking her with him) and bury the hatchet.

So far so good, but director James Avalon, usually a subtle filmmaker, opts for exaggerated outbursts this time, especially by Deen. The movie suffers mightily as a result.

Several key scenes are botched in the process, both the relationship between Tate and Deen, which becomes less and less credible, and most significantly the climactic argument between Dana and Deen over how Deen treats people (his dad and her, as the impending stepmom to be who she calls rather amusingly &quot;the step-fiancee&quot;).
