Escort Wife

2022

The story behind Escort Wife is of a woman, played by Janelle Tee, who is desperate enough for some sexual healing that she uses her sleeping husband’s hand as a marital aid. Pretty sure I speak for all my fellow readers of Other Crap and the Funhouse that if I had woken up to the missus similarly engaged I would have leaned into it. But not Janelle’s hubby, no sireee. He prefers the services of a high-end escort, played by Ava Mendez (stage name is Sab Aggabao) who happens to live across the street. One illogical thing leads to several more and Janelle takes up the escort business, records her activities with other men and sends the videos to their wives and sweethearts. Revenge is a dish best served criminal, because that sort of shit in the US is called revenge porn and it will get you a dozen years in the pokey… per offense. So let’s wave goodbye to Janelle’s character for a good long while.

Escort Wife had lots of scenes of Janelle and Sab doing guys – often the same guy at different times – and of Janelle and Sab doing one another. You see many minutes to boobage, but very little tush and not a hint of more intimate regions. The lighting and camera work doesn’t follow the usual Philippine cinema rules of natural illumination and sharp focus for all scenes but it does not matter because things still look great.

This is one of the half-dozen projects finished by Janelle Tee and by Ava Mendez in this past year, but then that seems to be the way of things in the Philippines, where most of the exposure on the large screen and the small(er) one is by a group of no more than ten women. They are all strikingly beautiful, to be sure, and I for one hope that in 2023 they are just as active.
