No, not its approval from a leader in the porn community, and not its status as one of the biggest mainstream flops in years. Nope. The Adam Sandler-produced, Nick Swardson-starring comedy has managed that ever-rare zero-percent approval rating among the critics of Rotten Tomatoes.
Joanna Angel's thoughts:
http://www.movieline.com/2011/09/ask-an-...o-be-a-star.phpIt was definitely better than I thought it was going to be. It was really cute and funny. I actually usually hate movies that are about the porn industry because they are so far off from the truth. That’s fine, I don’t have anything against the people that make those movies. I understand that they need to embellish to make a good story. Obviously, Bucky Larson is a fake story but what I liked about it is that people usually make the same porn jokes, kind of at the expense of the characters. This didn’t do that and it showed a real, sad side of the industry too.
There are actually directors like Don Johnson’s Miles Deep. He’s kind of jaded, not very wealthy, been in the industry for a long time, trying to hold onto something in the past.
