How sad is this?

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Very funny, enjoyed the puns and innuendos, and the feel good factor as well. Overall an enjoyable film. Unless I'm misunderstanding the writer's message, it seemed to me that this film was having a dig at the mainstream film industry showing their prejudices against the porn industry, when porn directors are very capable of directing in mainstream. Or is it that same film industry scared because of the paying public prejudices? Either way, it doesn't matter to me, if there's talent it should be showcased no matter where it comes from

Yes pun very much intended. And the movie is aiming at times at those jokes, but also tries to inject some class. Just like the director of pornography (character in this movie, our main protagonist), who tries to make it into mainstream films. Obviously there are many jokes containing crude language. That's not very hard ... well to come up with. Ah well you can imagine the rest.Actually don't imagine too much, because there is not going to be nudity. Even though things are more than suggested and you can hear people making noises of pleasure (during auditions for example). Some of the jokes do work. Because this is not made to titillate or to entice that much. If that concept with added romantic story does sound appealing to you, you could do worse ...
