Rating:  - Interesting
Worked well as a contrast against the standard/mainstream. Lives up to being an erotic documentary. But that's about it.
Rating:  - Not what I expected!!!
I read the reviews on this DVD and it sounded great. My husband and I watched it and we were disappointed. I thought it was going have more of a sexual story to it then just sex. They were real people but I wish it had more a of a story to it.
Rating:  - For fun this time, not profit
Comstock does it again, presenting a brief and enjoyable documentary about one couple's love life. The entire presentation takes about forty minutes. Marie and Jack introduce themselves in the first half, talking about how they met, the challeneges of balancing work against their home life, and about their real devotion to each other and to their marriage. Their discussion includes a few physical details of their sex play, illustrated by cuts between the interview and a scene in their bedroom. (I just wish Jack wouldn't interrupt her so much - that really grates on me.) The second half of this study presents a longer look at their lovemaking, including the moments from shown in the interview. The lovers are clearly there for each other first, and for the camera second if at all.
This is what erotica is supposed to be, and so very rarely is. It shows a loving moment between a loving couple, generally doing things that I'd enjoy with my own beloved. After the interview at the start I feel that I know them, at least a little. I want to see them happy together, and that includes delighting each other sexually.
The unusual thing about this handsome couple is that they work as actors in the adult film industry, and generally work with other people. This leads to odd moments on the set, such as when some adult actor is introduced to Jack just before getting physical on camera with Jack's wife, marie. It also leads to some odd moments at home, thinking about how to act natural with each other after acting out exaggerations of other people's fantasies all day on the set. Maybe "acting natural" itself is an act for them - and maybe putting that concious effort into what the other wants isn't a bad thing.
Explicitly sexual videos are easy enough to find. Videos with genuine affection, gentle tone, and people you can care about are painfully rare, though. Jack and Marie give just that, the kind of erotica that sensitive viewers can whole-heartedly enjoy.

Rating: - Save your money
I'm surprised by these glowing reviews. They inspired me to buy the film, but I found the film itself deeply uninspiring. I bought it to watch with my boyfriend-- and we're new to couples' porn, so I wasn't after anything too intense-- but it was 28 minutes (28 minutes for $24!) and astoundingly dull. The commentary between the husband and wife is interesting for a glimpse into the real life of people in the porn industry, but neither their conversation nor the sex scenes are arousing to any notable degree. Mainly, as another reviewer wrote, they talk about the relatively "vanilla" nature of their home sex life, and about the corresponding intimacy. They seem to love each other and enjoy the sex, but, as a viewer, there isn't much to be excited about. I certainly won't buy any other Comstock films, despite the giddy reviews, and I'm returning this one.
Rating: - Tony Comstock invents a new genre of intimate, arousing documentaries starring real couples
Tony Comstock is the creator and master of a new genre of films: explicit couples' sexuality documentaries. Comstock states that "intent to arouse" is often cited as the dividing line between art and porn. Of all the emotions a director might hope to induce in an audience, arousal remains the last taboo, and Tony Comstock takes it head-on.
Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story marked Comstock's creation of the genre. Marie and Jack are a husband and wife pair who met while the both worked in the porn industry. Both are still active in the industry, and their on-screen antics are completely separate from what goes on behind their bedroom door. In intimate conversation, they reveal the ins and outs of their marriage and love life. They delight in the fact that their home sex life is relatively vanilla, with a few key positions and some signature moves that each knows turns the other on.
When Marie and Jack agreed to star in this documentary, they made a pact not to edit their sex life for the camera, but to create a revealing and intimate portrait of their life in the bedroom. This is the hands-down winner for any couple looking to watch erotic film together, and Comstock offers a number of other titles in this series for viewer who get hooked on the idea. Matt & Khym and Xana & Dax are two titles available from Amazon. I only wished they also carried his first-rate gay male feature Damon & Hunter.
