This era of bi porn was often likely to feature Sharon Kane, bad comedy, or both. Bisexual Awakenings is heavy on the latter, and the other constant of these films - bad execution of an interesting concept. The concept being - rather than the usual stories with straight men being tempted to the other side, or gay couples who just magically hump women, what happens if women seduce gay men?
Most of today's bisexual entertainment lacks the relative originality of this film's central concept, but I do wonder how much better they might have done with the material (ditto for one of the only other films I can remember with this theme - the even more risible Curious?). Then again, the concept would probably be too controversial today, as shown with some of the backlash against The Affairs of Lidia (which doesn't even delve that heavily into the topic).
There are four connected scenes, as Gino Gultier seduces Angela D'Angelo's homophobic husband Anthony Gallo only for her to catch them and initiate a screeching Gino, followed by desperate Alyssa Allure taunting closeted Ekzavir Falcon Wray and Shawn Islander until Wray decides to show her just how manly they are, leading to a suddenly guilt-ridden Wray confessing to his boyfriend Jeff D. Kota, whose virulent misogyny/biphobia ends with Wray and Bobbi Bliss turning him to the bi side, ending in Kota hammily confronting Islander until the even hammier Candy Apples barges in and shuts down their fighting with her body (and a trusty strap-on).
The scenes generally veer toward loud and annoying, with the second scene having the most potential due to a genuine sensuality from Wray and Allure and no real focus on struggling for laughs. Wray is the only reliable male performer in the film, but an overall decent scene is let down by Islander, who is clearly unable to perform with a woman (another near-constant for this genre). He's no better in his return scene, but that scene is so frantic and shrill you don't notice as much. The scene with Kota, Bliss and Wray isn't bad either, but is let down by focusing too much on dire comedy overacting and poor camera angles. I would have been curious to see Kota without so much bad sitcom parody acting in both his scenes, as he is an adequate performer in the area that tends to matter most here.
The movie is worth checking out if you want to try something different, but I'd mostly suggest just the second scene.
