Captivating movie !

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I was going to rate this about an 8 or so.... until the last couple minutes! This was the worst, most abrupt ending I've ever seen, leaving many questions unanswered and loose ends straggling. I actually ended up rewinding a bit the first time, thinking the disc had skipped or something. Nope, it's just a really horribly done ending. Other than that, the acting was pretty good and it was an interesting story, not just another porn-like movie.

I actually have no problem believing this plot or any of its details. I think there are some white trash teens in Long Beach. I think that many doors are open to a beautiful young blonde. I do think it's relatively easy to find a room for rent in a big city if you are not picky.I also think that many people in the adult film industry like sex and money, and have no guilty complex about what they do. I do think that she could have made plenty of money serving drinks and/or stripping. But it's not really a problem, because she went the next step because she simply wanted to.It was basically a reality show. The main blonde showed the proper range of emotions in the handful of scenes requiring it, and Lili Taylor was fine.But don't expect to feel enlightened or moved. It's not that kind of picture. The only point is that a hot blonde found a home in the adult industry without being forced.If you're tuning in mainly to see her body, then you get just the right amount of teasers. The question is why you would want to see this movie for any other reason. It's slow, makes no good philosophical points, has no memorable soundtrack, no action, and limited decent dialog.I feel like taking a shower, and I truly regret watching this.

It's nice to see another take on the adult film industry. I don't have any experience or know anyone in the adult film industry, but I can see things like that happening (or at least similar to those depicted in the movie). You might think the same, if you watched the special feature/interview that is on the (german?) DVD. Hopefully they included this on all discs, because you can see the sincerity of the writer of this movie coming through.The movie still has some dramaturgy issues, some character based actions might not be that well explained, the overall experience is a good one (if you forgive the pun). And while there is nudity and some sensual scenes, the movie overall is not meant to excite that much in that category. There is always more than one story that can be told about something. Question is, are you open enough to see this particular one?

What a lousy act to choose a clichéd & somewhat-ubiquitous topic to make a directorial debut movie on! I was intrigued by the title and in tandem expected an untold story.But, what About Cherry delivers has already been read, filmed, published, sung or even enacted a hundred times. So the story is typical. Plot revolves around a bunch of other characters related/unrelated to the lead and they introduce some of those LGBT relationship dramas. That is genuine. The porn aura made it look gaudy but yes, now I completely know how they make an actual porn movie & how girls fall prey into the multi-billion dollar worth industry.Performances are good enough with Ashley & Heather doing good. Patel is good, too. Yet, the climax fails to pick up the pieces. It gives a conclusion but falls short in adding a noble inference. Plus, the whole experience has the greatest potential of fading it off your memory. 5/10.BOTTOM LINE: Nothing new. Wait for a free copy or pass.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
