Deborah Ross The Spectator Predictable, derivative, tedious, distasteful, badly written, stupid, insulting to women, insulting to Eastern Europeans, clichéd, woefully directed and woefully acted all round. Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian If you fancy being depressed this weekend, why not pop along to this film about two British blokes making porn? Rated: 1/5 Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Anna Smith Time Out Ropey bit-part actors - this cheerful exploitation of The Full Monty formula still entertains. Mar 23, 2007 Full Review Ali Gray TheShiznit.co.uk Billed as 'The British American Pie', a label applied apparently without irony. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2012 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Rated: 1/5 Dec 7, 2007 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) A crude, leering, poorly timed farce.

Audience Member 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review kevin c 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review troy k Boring, couldn't make it past 30 minutes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
