That was an excellent one.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I actually do not know if this review has 'spoilers' but better safe than banned forever. ha ha I loved this movie on Netflix. The male star is not someone I remember from any other movie, but I really liked him. Which means that I probably really like the DIRECTOR who drew out of the characters their best performance, I think. I'm recommending this movie to my 90 year old uncle and his 93 year old wife. I'm only worried about the first 3-4 minutes, because I do not know if they have a good bad or indifferent attitude towards porn. Personally I love porn movies, well for about the first 5 minutes than I (and my hubby) don't need 'em anymore, ha ha. hmmm. This is the first movie that had a 'porn star' character that I watched to the very end. I like the movie but I don't buy into the basic premise that the porn star had a nervous breakdown because an uptight neighbor thinks he should move out of her 'decent neighborhood'. I also don't agree with how female porn stars were portrayed as though they were real-life members of that old HBO reality show about the house of prostitution located outside of Las Vegas. If I had been more 'liberated' when I was in my 20s I would have done that for a living for a year maybe two. Why not? I watch porn movies, had the hot body required of porn stars and could have taught viewers a few 'sex lessons' too. I would do them now but no one wants to see a 66 year old body except for a 43-year-old husband (my husband). Enjoy this movie, you won't have to think deep thoughts, you can just enjoy the cute little story line and the pretty face/rockhard body of the main star. That's enough for me, anyway.

wonderfully fun film! The premise of a porn star moving in my his parents in their retirement community could be treated for broad laughs, but is handled often with subtle humor and even a dose of seriousness.Johnny Whitworth dives fully into Vick Velour/Andy. From the opening scene at a porn convention to the moment where he's about to toss himself off the edge of a building, you sense Andy's disenfranchisement with his choices and not just his business. Like the rest of the film, he could have played the role just for yucks. Instead, he's equal parts dramatic and comedic. The film is choked full of great cameos. Barry Corbin, Garrett Morris, Graham Greene; all of them deliver solid performances and Morris in particular is hilarious. It's fun to see actors you remember not only get an opportunity in a great movie but deliver as well.

The very concept of the film is hilarious, but the film can't decide on it's audience - a rauchy, Will Ferrellesque comedy, a serious, adult drama, or an ABC Family movie about porn stars. It doesn't mix well. I saw this film in a theater a couple of years ago and the audience loved it - but it was mostly an older crowd. I couldn't help but feel then as I do now that the film was a missed opportunity at a larger audience.Whitworth gives it his all, and the other side characters are solid. The production budget was slightly cheaper than I expected, but it doesn't strongly detract. Again, another case of good but with the potential for great.I'd recommend it.

I watched this movie on Netflix where it got a much better rating than here and I think for good reason. A simple movie about an adult subject that couldn't have been more entertaining and finally ...without any big Hollywood input of any kind. The movie was over before I realized I had watched the whole thing without being bored for a minute. The characters were all likable and again..played very simply and well. I watch lots of movies, one a day at least, and am a tough critic that usually finds fault with most of them, especially big blockbusters, but this, for what it was, had no flaws really. It was good to see Garret Morris from Saturday Night Live of old too. Again...it was a simple movie with a nice message.
