funny, silly, raunchy, and in-your-face Carmen Electra gets some enjoyment out of a story about every adolescent boy's dream making a movie its another script that takes advantage at just how outlandish it is it also shows how filmmaking is in the real world and that most of us prestigous filmmakers have to start somewhere to find our true calling alot of hilarity ensues even when in the adult film industry

A pair of film students desperate to make a movie get financed by a seedy character who wants them to make an adult film with porn star Candy, played by Carmen Electra. Pretty predictable comedy that is made well with some genuine laughs.

A Half day from work without Internet resulted in watching this movie. It turned out to be surprisingly good. Decent British comedy starring Carmen Electra. Worthy a watch. [6/10]

This film is pleasant enough, although it's easy to see why some might feel cheated by the mild sexual content, and it begins to feel increasingly rushed as it approaches what is, frankly, a completely daft conclusion. There are a few laughs along the way though, including a typical two semi-naked men trapped in a bathroom stint reminiscent of the British sex farces of the early 70s, an amusingly worked case of confrontational mistaken identity, and a woman who can perform incredible tricks with what seems to be an endless supply of ping pong balls. In the midst of all these tame laughs is one gross-out moment that is totally out of keeping with the tone of the rest of the film and an attempt by one of the lads to bed the glamorous porn star they have hired that seems to be shoehorned in to the plot so that that hoary old cliché of 'lecherous man caught by numerous bystanders as he waits in his smalls for the lady who is never going to turn up for their rendezvous' can be revisited.

Very slow to begin with, just wasnt haha funny, but then once they start to make the movie the story kicked off! Alot like "the girl next door" at points. But some of the scenes really make this movie come into its own!

The Spectator

Predictable, derivative, tedious, distasteful, badly written, stupid, insulting to women, insulting to Eastern Europeans, clichéd, woefully directed and woefully acted all round.

If you fancy being depressed this weekend, why not pop along to this film about two British blokes making porn?

Ropey bit-part actors - this cheerful exploitation of The Full Monty formula still entertains.

Billed as 'The British American Pie', a label applied apparently without irony.

A crude, leering, poorly timed farce.
