How to order

Introductory titles inform us that forces once specific to Alladin's lamp have now glommed onto "a simple mannequin that lets young men's dreams and desires come true." The mannequin is simple, all right; it's the kind of limbless fiberglass torso a discount store might use to model cheesy polo shirts. Nevertheless, it's charged with paranormal properties. It can even say, "Your wish is my command" in a voice that sounds like Kermit the Frog. It keeps popping up at young men's doors with notes ("When you wish upon my crotch, your dreams come true," etc.) taped to its front.

This industrial-strength silliness provides an excuse for four sex scenes. Guys who are visited by the magic torso wish for sex partners without missing a beat, and get them. In the first and third episodes, attractive models are undone by leaden direction, plunky elevator music, and videography that emphasizes pimples, rashes, and moles. Tully, who's like a Vienna choirboy gone psycho, gives the second scene a slightly scary edge that makes it watchable. (There's a moment where he shoves a dildo in Cole Power's face with startling, angry intensity.) The final segment pairs Turner Luce and Jacob Mariner, arguably the two most attractive and professional members of the cast, but arrives too late to redeem this dimwit enterprise.
