I really enjoyed this film. It starts out with a very original concept and provides an inside look into an industry we don't see a lot about in films today. Watching this movie felt like watching what might happen if Christopher Guest, Wes Anderson and Judd Apatow all got together and made a film. Although this is not a glossy, "studio" film by any means, the raw, unpolished style of filming and acting suits it and the film is richer because of it. Especially poignant are the scenes in which we get to see the actual making of the "adult film" featured within the film. It's when things start to fall apart for the film makers in the movie that this film really finds its footing and is at its best. It's rare that a film can actually deliver a message about humanity and still manage to be extremely entertaining. If you want to watch a movie that is both touching and funny with interesting and unique characters, I highly recommend this film- you wont be disappointed.
