I have just
one word to describe this movie: stupidity,
having said that it’s a XXXX rated movie, not only for my treasures – given the
amount of pornography that this movie shows (my two treasures) but for - given the impossible to count the
number of times that the actors say when pissed off, or “Jesus f…king Christ!”
(ma
sista).
On the
lovely part however the main actress is the very
hot Scarlett Johansson who plays a very interesting part in this movie
and asks the question that I consider the pearl in this movie: “do you have to watch porn to jerk off?” the
guy/main actor (Joseph
Gordon-Levitt)
doesn’t reply immediately with a no! (the lie anyone else would use) instead he starts thinking if she’s
worth an answer at all, in fact as the movie goes on he tells to his mother that he has no intention to get married and have children, once he tells this
to his family, the mother starts screaming saying that it’s her time to
become a grandmother, while the father can’t believe what a catch Scarlett must be
for his son.
This movie
basically addresses the very intrusive role that pornography plays in these
days, I mean when I was a teenager at most you could put your hands on a
Playboy magazine, now the internet gives the possibility not only to watch full
XXX rated movies, but you can also meet “freed
women“ online and schedule to meet with them, not to mention what they can show while you can see them and the very “dirty talk” you can exchange any time
you want or at any time of the day.
Anyway,
aside the fact that this is a movie based on male stupidity, I give it two
thumbs up, plus my usual advice to watch it with your good friends and lots of
beer to drink.
