      kevin c Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen star as the Mitchell brothers who built a porn empire in San Francisco by purchasing a movie theatre and creating their own adult movies to showcase in the theatre. Based on the true story of the brothers that brought the world Behind the Green Door and their unprecedented success which led to many excesses with sex and drugs a d eventually to tragedy. Fascinating story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite likeable actually. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member While it may not give us a full sense of what these men's work would incite, 'Rated X' is salvaged by two capable leads and plenty of fun with behind the scenes antics. Seeing how something like porn is almost treated as an art of its own is fascinating, even if the narrative jumps from film to film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 151009: What a mess. Marilyn only plays a small part, and Tracy Hutson is not Marilyn. Story of the Mitchell brothers and their lives...a mess; a pioneering mess but still a mess. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't see why "Rated X" got all the hate it did. The only problem was it's a little slow, I give it a 4/5. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this lots of pussy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Variety Staff Variety The brother angle does give this story a distinctive dimension, and the brothers Estevez and Sheen, their pates shaved to help them represent the odd-looking Mitchells, do an uncanny, genuinely impressive job. Feb 4, 2008 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide The film inevitably streamlines and neatens up the Mitchell's spectacularly messy lives. But for anyone who missed the short but influential era of porno chic, it's an eye-opener, a primer on how we got here from there. Rated: 3/4 Feb 4, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2005 Full Review Sarah Chauncey Reel.com Rated: 0/5 Jun 4, 2004 Full Review Willie Waffle WaffleMovies.com Intriguing, but Sheen and Estevez are not good enough to engross the viewer. Rated: 2/5 Apr 3, 2004 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...this just isn't an interesting story, with the Mitchell brothers making for truly unsympathetic protagonists. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 1, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
