RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Sarita Rafferty 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.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
riderpridethemovie Thank goodness we live in a system in which films like this get made. Stolen premise? Sure. Amateur acting? Uh huh. Lousy production values? Guilty. But it doesn't matter. If you can rope Andy Dick, Ron Jeremy and a few of your closest porn actresses into playing along, you've got a movie many will watch. Ironically, the one thing a film about porn lacks is a strong female character — the actress here is cute, but her performance is reminiscent of, well, a porn actresses. The beauty of this set-up, which is really nothing more than a bar conversation ("Did you see Being John Malkovich? Wouldn't it be funny if it was Ron Jeremy instead?), is that since it's about porn all the lousy things about it can easily be construed as an homage to the industry. Unfortunately, comedy does require a deft touch, and the director (who I think was also the writer and star) may have taken off more than he can chew. There are some decent gags here that a more experienced comedic director would have milked. The guy is still charming, and one hopes he continues writing more material. Speaking of charming, how about that Ron Jeremy? He manages a rather difficult feat, playing a lovable guy who just happens to be a porn actor. Again, he could use some direction and needs to hone a more naturalistic style, but Hollywood loves a crossover and this, coupled with his stint on The Surreal Life and his role in the cult film Orgazmo show he's capable of one day playing a character other than Pizza Guy or Plumber.
joshdl23 This movie is hotter than your grandmamas panties! You better axe somebody!!! Great flick..... I highly recommend this film. Berke is not only a great director, but a great actor as well. Who wouldnt want to be Ron Jeremy? Sign me up!!!
Jim Hemphill This is a hilarious riff on BEING JOHN MALKOVICH that delivers as both a witty satire on the porn industry and as a showcase for its talented leading man, Brian Berke. Berke, the stand-up comedian who directed the film, sharply parodies not only Jeremy's image but the psychology of the typical male porn viewer. The results are outrageous and sometimes insightful, and Jeremy's willingness to play along with the joke makes for some infectious fun. Like Malkovich in the Spike Jonze film, Jeremy is making fun not of himself but of the public's perception of him, and aided by the sharp writing he gives a genuinely winning performance. Andy Dick adds comic support in some of the movie's funniest scenes, and Berke's self-deprecating style marks him as a sort of X-rated Woody Allen. A very satisfying piece of entertainment.
theemailaddress The film's premise is brilliant. Take the concept of Being John Malkovich to the its logical end. Everybody wants to be a porn star, right? At least for a night or two.The actor/director, Brian Berke, was perfectly cast as the skinny shlub who only gets laid when he takes over Ron's body. Some funny scenes are when he first goes into Ron's portal and almost makes it with the porn stars in the hot tub and when the various guys get blown out into the dumpster. That one brown haired guy who laughed a lot in the dumpster, Jeff Kueppers, was freaky-sexy-hunky-super-fresh. Don't get me started!! Yummy!Wish there were more hot male porn stars in it though.
