It's not so much that it's a bad movie. While the script and the acting left much to be desired it had some entertaining moments.
No, what irked me was their representation of the porn industry - that tired old cliché. Obviously working in the porn industry ourselves were are a little sensitive to this meme.
I guess at some point back in the days of print porn publishing there were guys in leopardskin and leather that were little more than pimps running the show. That, however, hasn't been true for many years. In fact today the adult industry is very professional. I'd say more than half the producers I've met have been women.
I've not personally seen any exploitation of anyone in this industry. Whereas I have seen horrific exploitation in some supposedly "reputable" big business corporations at all levels of employee.
In all seriousness the porn industry is one if the most ethical and honest on the entire planet. We are heavily scrutinized by governments. We don't exploit slave labor, or child labor in factories in China. We don't screw employees out of their pensions. We don't factory farm cheap outsourced workers in Mumbai. We don't make people work long hours for low pay. We don't even destroy the environment.
We're nice happy people, with great jobs.
