Premise
An American high school boy falls in love with a porn star neighbor.
Who should watch
No one.
Thoughts
Most of the time, it was not funny nor sexy.
Occasionally, I chuckled or got excited at the complications involving the hot Elisha Cuthbert as a porn star, but most of that was in the first hour. After that, it was pretty much a standard teen romance movie. To make it worse, the movie attempted to preach to the audience.
The only real good thing was the cast. Timothy Olyphant was very funny. Also, I found it amusing that a young Emile Hirsch ('Into the Wild') and Paul Dano('There Will Be Blood') were in the cast. I'm glad they were able to use movies like these to get exposure and act in better films. In fact, Hirsch was very good here. Unfortunately, my amusement wore off very quickly thanks to be lame story.
Like a teasing porn website, I expected some naughty stuff, but ended up unsatisfied, and embarrassed that I wasted my time.
What I would change
Cutting out 20 minutes might have helped. Probably not.
