There is allegedly a downside working in adult magazine and this film is meant to show the ups and the downs of it. If you don't mind us saying, it definitely shows plenty of ups and downs! Brianna is immediately involved in the first scene but its more of a slow builder than an explosive opener. Sure Brianna gave oral in her usual style supplying all the noises and looks that she has became famous for but there was little spark or energy about it. There is definitely a large body of work to be found that shows the star in a better light. The oral swiftly moved on to some poking fun before Banks was being roundly taken in the ass. On paper it all sounds great but it failed to ignite as much as you would have hoped. Then again, if you have such high expectations from a star, inevitably there will be times where it doesn't happen.

Next up was a lesbian scene with some playful bondage being thrown into the mix. There was candle wax and there was a riding crop and again, two girls who weren't looking at their brightest. Penny Flame had Joey all bound up and there was some licking going but not much before the scene fizzled out. Penny was used in the following scene but this was even shorter.  Penny's skirt was hitched up to allow Tom Byron a look at her goods and he clearly liked what he saw. It didn't take a second invitation for him to start licking that pussy but just as the scene had potential, it too moved on. Theres something to be said for creating a tease but sometimes you need to let the film flow.

There were ten scenes in total in Layout and although they eventually got around to letting some fucking happening, it all just seemed rather lifeless and a waste of some excellent talent. Seeing Brianna Banks in black lingerie whilst being dominated was a good scene and there were other moments of note but on the whole, it lacks something.

Kylie Ireland threw in some decent scenes and her and Marcos Leon possibly had the best scene when they went for it in a porn store. With all the other perverts looking on, Leon managed to fill Ireland's mouth with his own special lubricant at the same time she was ramming her ass hard with a toy. It managed to eclipse most of other scenes and at the end you were genuinely thinking what a waste of talent like Penny Flame or Brianna it really was.

The plot was okay and it did set itself up for some pretty good scenes but for some reason, Layout just didn't manage to carry it off.
