Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Sadly Over-hyped

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

'Hot Girls Wanted' is an intimate look at the 'amateur' porn industry, and is about as scary as you would assume - the 'industry' grinds up young girls really quickly and then leaves them with barely anything, and most likely ruined lives (pursuing another career at this point is difficult, considering that it is inevitable that your online work will be discovered).What the film doesn't conclusively answer is why these (and so many other) girls sign up for this. The girls usually say that it is because of the easy, quick money, the opportunity to travel, etc. That may be true, but one would think that even a tiny bit of research would reveal that this industry is dreadful and not worth the quick money (which I assume is one of the goals of the film- makers, to have this out there so young girls can see it). Unfortunately, the end result is that the girls come across as, at best vapid, at worst, just really stupid. It is also very difficult to feel any pity for the girls, as they do this of their own free will, and no one forced them into it.Tressa, the girl from Texas, for example - looking at her life - one still cannot comprehend why she did this. Her family seems stable and caring, she has a loving boyfriend - granted she was probably bored to death in her home town but why this dramatic leap? Was it really just money/travel? This remains unanswered. What should her parents have done differently to have prevented this? Travel more? I think many parents might watch this and be horrified, but not have any idea of what to do.The one avenue that could have been explored further is the rise of abuse porn sites, which really is disturbing. Still, though, as the girls participate of their own free will, there is not much that could be done.There will always be people in the world who are shockingly irresponsible and short-sighted. Not sure if a film about them was really necessary.

I say it should have been called "Young Girls Wanted" because what enabled the objects of this film to make money in the adult industry was definitely not their looks, but their ages.Hot girls Wanted is an interesting (albeit skewed) documentary about one very small aspect of the adult industry. HGW focuses on a few girls who go off to a flop house in FL to take advantage of the money available to them via making adult videos. The film focuses in on just one or two of these girls, thus giving you an extremely myopic look at what is arguably the biggest, most lucrative industry in history. While you couldn't possible get a feel (pun intended) for the adult industry by following even a hundred or a thousand talents around, just how much can you expect to learn from following a few? And these few are rock bottom amateurs being managed by a rock bottom amateur.I find it amusing how people rectify capitalism with instances of it where other people are making money doing things that they a) don't like, b) wouldn't do themselves, and/or c) wouldn't want family doing. Seems to me that the phrase "they're being taken advantage of" or "they're being manipulated" comes in quite handy to folks who can't grapple with the fact that quite often, what makes money valuable is that it gets people to do stuff they normally wouldn't do. Maybe it's a plumber who deals with feces on a daily basis, maybe it's the person that's flipping burgers for minimum wage, or maybe it's someone exhibiting sexual behavior on film. And while I'm certain there are people who do all of these jobs and love doing them, the fact is that most are doing it for the money. You could make the same movie and title it "Plumbers Wanted" or "Short Order Cooks Wanted." Either would make the exact same point.But of course we have the double standard that sex is all at once wonderful and special, but at the same time "bad" to do for money. Please do this little thought experiment... Imagine that there are no more STDs, and that people are able to control their ability to breed 100%. No one ever gets sick, and no one ever gets pregnant (or impregnates someone) if they don't want to. Now ask yourself if it's OK for people (your wife, kid, etc...) to work in this industry. If the answer is "no" then you have some deep thinking to do. As far as the "morality" of adult content in and of itself, I will offer this... If you wouldn't condone your wife, daughter, mother, son, neighbor, anybody doing it, then you ought not be watching/consuming it.And I loved the puppy:)

I expected to see bit of an underbelly, girls entering porn because they had sad childhoods, or feeling like they had no other option. What I saw was silly, stupid girls from middle class upbringings sitting around chatting. The tears from the one girl who told her dad and trying to hang onto her boyfriend - you have ZERO reason to do this, nobody feels sorry for you.There's nothing sympathetic or likable about ANY of them. So listening to them think they've made it isn't even sad or pathetic, you just hope the worst for them. The irony of them gossiping about Bella Knox is funny. I feel bad for the dogs, I hope they didn't get dumped at a shelter.I am sure we will see all these girls soon at a Taco Bell drive through.

As a case study and glimpse behind the curtain of the amateur porn world, Hot Girls Wanted is an interesting and captivating tale. As a documentary, however, it lacks the scope and comprehension to delve deeper into the subject on a grander, more impactful scale.Premiering at Sundance Film Festival this year, audiences were a-buzz by the sensational subject matter and taken aback by the rare and untold story of how young girls barely out of high school find themselves in the adult film industry.The candor and frankness of the girls whose stories we are told in this documentary is shocking in its nonchalance. We learn that the normal career span of a 'barely-18′ porn star is three to six months. And when their time runs out after engaging in more fetishized and abuse oriented videos, a new crop of 'talent' is swiftly found with yesterday's Craigslist advertisement.The disposable nature in which these girls are treated in this microcosm of the porn industry is concerning and disheartening. And yet, the shock and outrage quickly dissipates as the documentary progresses and we spend more and more time in the sheltered environment. Most of this information should be old news to anyone who knows anything about the porn industry, and Hot Girls Wanted may only be illuminative to the most naive viewer.With no greater consequences of the potentially dangerous amateur porn occupation these girls expose themselves to, Hot Girls Wanted is merely an interesting film that sheds light on the subject. Film viewers will feel for the girls, but also be frustrated by their foolishness, and without any greater significance, will forget the film.Please check out our website for full reviews of all the recent releases.
