Truly Dreadful Film

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Yup, Ron Jeremy is, well how would you say, gifted. Somehow, despite not being the most attractive chap, he seems to win the hearts and other parts of ladies who happen to love having sex. This old style porn is almost nostalgic, if sex can be nostalgic that is. I prefer the new age porn and must admit to being a member of one or two adult themed sites (my favorite being www.hardcorehoneyz.com). However, there's something groovy - in a shaft, flower power, natural heaven type way - about this release. Also, it's hilarious. the director is right on target in depicting the mundane yet bizarre inner workings of porn, using Jeremy as the court jester tour guide. But the film really shines when The Hedgehog is center stage, with his unlikely, raunchy, compelling charisma. Highly recommended. Just pass it off as a documentary or tutorial of the perfect, vet very lucky, porn star. Peace.

Forget every pathetic, dreary porn documentary you've ever seen, this is Ron Jeremy we're talking about and it is as fun and interesting as the man himself. Yes, it's a great look the biz details and yes, there are the occasional glimpses of the body part that helped make Ron famous. But the real heart of this documentary is in the day-to-day look at a nice guy who got a really nice break in an unconventional profession. Ron isn't John Holmes with an arrest record and HIV-status; he isn't Annabelle Chong, whose family felt disgraced by her adult film work. Ron's family is proud and supportive and he's made some smart choices. Ron is what's good about the industry.Highly recommend the DVD for it's deleted scenes, some of which are really funny. And if you ever have the opportunity to meet Ron, do so! He's great. (Although, ladies, his hands tend to wander when he's giving autographs....not that that was a bad thing...)

Good documentary, hilarious at times, about Ron Jeremy, the famous star of X-rated films. The king of them all! Under the hairy appearance, we discover a guy who just wants to be the center of the attention. Funny and sad when the documentary reveals his trip to France to play a small bit in a low-budget film. You don't need to be a X-rated films buff to enjoy this one. Of course, it helps to know who's Ron Jeremy, but I'm pretty confident that most of us know.Out of 100, I gave it 79. That's good for *** out of ****.Seen at the Paradise Cinema, in Toronto, on April 29th, 2002.

A documentary looking into the up bringing, family, career and future dreams of porn star Ron Jeremy. It uses old footage, interviews and clips from his films to show a guy who wants to be centre of attention and be talked about.This documentary is not one of the type I usually like to watch relating to porn. I usually like the ones that are done by people from outside – it tends to be less airbrushed! For example everyone should check out Channel 4's Hardcore (UK) it's an excellent documentary and will make it harder to get turned on next time you're watching porn. However this is more of a human interest story that a documentary – it's like those polished celeb features you see sometimes where a little bit of bad or unfortunate stuff is wheeled out, but not much. So we naturally have lots of porn celebs being interviewed as well as family and lots with Jeremy himself.However this is all still interesting – after all, how can you not be interested in a man who is one of the most famous males in porn for decades despite looking like a slob! But it does go beyond just the surface – we start with the idea that Jeremy is a pretty nice guy (not anywhere near as arrogant as you'd expect for a guy who gets sex so much!). But during the film little things come out – he is insecure, he wants to be the centre of things and maybe has too much importance put on himself.I did feel disappointed that it didn't push deeper when Jeremy was vulnerable. At times you can see sadness and hurt just behind his eyes but the director doesn't move at these times – instead the hurt is only really referred to in voiceovers by the narrator or by other people. It felt at times that the film was helping Jeremy to get exposure without actually letting us inside his character.However overall I enjoyed it. There is some nudity but it doesn't use the porn footage for titillation – instead most of the porn footage is old dialogue scenes. If you hate porn then this will be too glossy for your taste – but if you like it or just leave it alone then you should get something out of this.
