Interesting indie film. I was bedridden today. Didn't feel good and so I went on Netflix watch instantly, saw this, and figured why not? So, I've seen a lot of strange and vulgar movies in my time, this one was not the most strange nor the most vulgar, but definitely a little weird. It will be especially weird to those who haven't seen many indie or foreign films. It's an unconventional love story and actually kind of cute and endearing. The hero in the story is played by Jason Ritter who looks familiar to me. He works at a movie store as a clerk and grows interested in this woman (played by Marianna Palka who is also the screenwriter and director) who continues to rent porn movies. As the movie goes on you get to experience their odd relationship. She has clear emotional issues and he... well you'll have to see the film. I found John Ritter's character to be a superhero of sorts though. Also interesting is that his character, the man, was Polish. So you got the chance to hear a few Polish phrases which were adorable. Anyway, like most good indie films I've seen, the movie is a snap of life with all its realities and problems and awe. I would recommend the film not because I think it's so great it should win an Oscar but because it was an interesting look into the development of a relationship with someone who was emotionally wounded.
PS: You'll probably recognize Martin Starr in this film as he's been in a lot of good comedies such as Knocked Up.
PSS: Don't let the title fool you. You will not be seeing any ;)
