A Little Romance (1986) Review

A Little Romance (1986) Poster
Today we go back in time to another period of the adult film world. We were stuck in the modern world, but now we are going back to the year 1986. It’s here that we stop off at a movie called “A Little Romance”. The movie was released and went to the silver screen, and of course VHS tape for those video stores that carried it. It’s a movie that is not kidding around, it goes straight into the action, within 3 minutes of the credits rolling. It’s a bit on the romantic side to begin, because of the use of smooth jazz for the most part. It’s a smooth jazzy musical selection to accompany the sex, which you guessed it, is straight forward. The film stars Rachel Ryan, Tom Byron, Kari Foxx, Ron Jeremy, Peter North, Tonya Foxx, John Simmons, and Trinity Loren. These are all famous 1980s porno actors, and you may recognize their names. With all that in mind, let’s get into the action of this 90 minute feature length porno film from 1986.

The first scene is straight forward, as Tom Byron and Rachel Ryan start to kiss, and he immediately goes down on his knees to give her oral. Rachel Ryan looks like the classic 1980s house wife, with short hair, dirty blonde highlights, and simple makeup. She has long pink finger nails, but other than that, she looks like a suburban house wife, and Tom Byron looks like a kid, he’s in his early part of the career that would make him a legend. This scene is sensually paired with some nice saxophone and piano music, as the two start to work things out in the dining room of a very nice looking house, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a garden. The two go from oral to sex, and Byron really gets into it, while Rachel Ryan takes a bit to go forward with this scene. This is not a long scene mind you, and the sex doesn’t last more than about 10 minutes, if that. There’s no condom, no shaved areas, just natural sex, with a great deal of moaning and even a little bit of screaming. Byron looks to hold off his finale, but he can’t control himself and lets go on Ryan’s stomach. A good scene, with a nice little upside to it, but it’s short, and to the point. Not a great one, but not terrible either. The music is relaxing at least.

Next up, we are in an office, and a few women are talking, when the boss calls one of them into his office. She comes into the office, and there’s Peter North waiting. He needs help, and this blonde haired girl starts to help him out a little. It’s Tanya Foxx, and she’s an attractive blonde haired woman, and goes to town on Peter North. This is short lived, however, as the scene moves to another part of the office.

The other part of the office has Ron Jeremy sitting down and Kari Foxx writing notes. Ron asks for head, and Kari Foxx immediately sits down on her knees and starts to blow him. This is a simple blow job scene, and before you get too far into the action, the director goes back to what Peter North is doing.

So we go back to Peter North getting blown by Tanya Foxx, and it’s not a bad scene, but I always hate when the director goes between scenes, instead of sticking to one scene at a time. I guess this is because it was meant to be seen in a movie theater, more than anything else. Either way, this isn’t a bad scene, and Tanya Foxx is a decent looking 1980s blonde.

Before this scene goes too far, the director goes back to Kari Foxx and Ron Jeremy, and this time it goes further from a blow job scene into an oral scene. Kari Foxx is a brunette with big hair and the 1980s look. Jeremy is the hedgehog, and he’s a lot thinner than you will see him today. The two have some fun, unshaved and completely full of sexuality. As far as sex is concerned, Ron Jeremy is a pro, and he drills Kari Foxx well here, all hairy and all. It’s a standard Jeremy scene, nothing too complex, and it seems as though Kari likes it, but I wouldn’t know, the camera doesn’t pan away from the action, showing you penetration throughout, and mixed in with a keyboard sound that is somewhat focused on the 1980s overall. It’s a good scene if you’re a fan of Ron Jeremy, but again, it’s not great.

Midway through the Ron Jeremy sex scene, the director once again switches to Peter North and Tanya Foxx, and another jazzy tune. She’s still blowing him in his office, but you know they are going to have sex, because this can’t be the only thing that is going on, could it? The answer? Well, the answer is yes, it’s just a blow job scene.

Ron Jeremy and Kari Foxx are back, because the director goes back to the pair having sex on a chair, and that continues, with the two just going through the motions. Ron Jeremy is grand, with his one lines and momentum. If you’ve read his book, you know he had a lot of fun with these scenes. The money shot focuses on Jeremy cumming on Foxx’s pubic hair and that’s the end.

The scenes end, and we are back in the office, with nothing major happening. This then goes to a house, and you see Tom Byron and Rachel Ryan talking. The two start talking about love and sex. There’s an argument and Tom Byron leaves Ryan crying in her night gown and in bed.

The scene moves to night time. A motel where Tom Byron has gone to, and is just hanging out solo. There’s a brief element where Peter North gives Kari Foxx oral, but the scene goes back to Tom Byron in his hotel.

Tom Byron is visited by Tanya Foxx. She says that the office knows that he’s there and he’s lonely, and she starts to undress him.

However, while you have Tom Byron getting undressed, Ron Jeremy makes a move on Rachel Ryan, and immediately starts to give her oral. The director moves away from the hotel and back to the office, and this scene is a lot more sensual than the other one that Ron Jeremy had previously in the movie. Rachel Ryan is dressed for the office here, so that alone gets me a little turned on, and Jeremy goes to work fast here, and gets Ryan wet fast. I was surprised by how well the two worked here, as the chemistry that they have is more than what Ryan and Byron had in the opening sequence.

Meanwhile, the scene splits to Peter North getting blown by what I assume is Kari Foxx, this time she’s blowing him and she’s going to town. Again, I don’t like the switching back and forth between scenes, because it makes it hard to review, and it’s hard to stay focused on the action that you want to get off to, but as a movie making element, specifically for the big screen, I can see why this is done. It’s not a bad thing, it just throws me off a bit.

The scene switches and you get Tom Byron and Tanya Foxx in the motel having sex. This is a straight forward sex scene, nothing fancy about it, with standard positions, and just focused moaning and groaning.

The scene switches yet again and this time it’s Ron Jeremy and Rachel Ryan having sex, and it’s not bad. Ryan, again has more chemistry with Jeremy than she did with Tom Byron in the opening scene so it’s nice to see this develop.

Switching scenes again, you’re back to the office where Peter North and Kari Foxx are having sex, which is another contention point. This isn’t a bad thing, North goes through the motions well enough and there’s moaning and movement, with a focus on the penetration, but wait for it….

Another scene switch, and we are back in the motel room with Foxx and Byron, and you know what? All of this changing really makes this movie somewhat boring to watch. If you’re a big fan of all of these actors, then you are going to get a little bit from each of them, but you are not going to get straight forward scenes. If you’re trying to get off to just one scene, good luck, there’s so much editing that this just doesn’t work that well.

We go back to the hotel and Byron and Foxx go through some more positions before he finishes on her. But that then switches to Peter North again, and he goes to completion, cumming onto his partners leg and butt. Then we get to see the money shot that features Ron Jeremy cumming on Rachel Ryan’s pubic hair, and then reinserting back for more pumps.

Up next we are at a house where Rachel Ryan is talking to a friend of Tom Byron’s. That’s it. The two talk, but out comes Trinity Loren and she has sex with John Simmons.

The next scene features John Simmons and Trinity Loren and it’s not that great. It’s a fast scene, the fastest in the movie, and the two go at it on the ugliest couch in the world. Meanwhile a jazzy number plays. The music is better than the sex here, and the two just go through the motions of sex, and that’s it. There’s not much to this at all, and it’s actually not that attractive of a scene. Trinity Loren looks like one of the members of the Go Go’s so if you’re a fan of pop music from the 1980s, then you may get off by this scene. Otherwise, it’s not that great if you ask me. It’s fast, hard hitting, and well, just pure sex. I guess that’s what porn is about sometimes. In that case, it’s good, it works well enough, and it’s a testament to the 1980s scene, with Simmons finishing on Loren’s stomach.

Tom Byron and John Simmons talk and tells Byron’s character to go back to Rachel Ryan’s character.

The two finally make up, and the end scene is only about 10 minutes of sex, but it features Byron and Ryan once again connecting, like they did in the first scene. Just like the title suggests, this is a romantic love making scene, and it’s slow moving for the most part. There’s a bit of speed at the end, but overall, it’s a boring love making, baby making type of scene, that really doesn’t do much to entice, but rather just goes through the motions of romantic sex. If you’re a big fan of Tom Byron’s early work, and you like Rachel Ryan’s 1980s look, then perhaps this is your scene, it’s hardcore, it’s somewhat exciting, but it’s far from that raunchy style that most people want. This very much seems like the two are making a baby, rather than going all out for gratification, if you ask me. But that’s not a bad takeaway, it’s just what it is. Byron eventually cums on Ryan’s pubic hair and that’s the end of the show folks.

I give “A Little Romance” a 2 out of 5.


This is a frantic movie with the editing. It keeps going back and forth, making it a tough one to get off to. It’s not a great film at all, and it’s not that grand, but it has a few moments that inspire. The ending scene is romantic, mind you, but the overall story is nothing short of romantic. The ending is funny though, as it features Tom Byron getting punched out. Other than that, this is a slow paced, standard porno from the 1980s, with not a lot going for it, unless you’re a big fan of Ron Jeremy.

You can purchase “A Little Romance” from a variety of sources, and if you’re a fan of the cast, you’ll love this one. I don’t think it’s great.
