I am a sucker for Judd Apatow-type American comedy movies and / or Seth Rogen movies. Both reliably make me laugh and completely transport me out of dark / gloomy London. Starring Elizabeth Banks (whom I love, from Scrubs, the 40-year old Virgin, and other series / movies) and Seth Rogen, the movie tells a predicable story of how love transforms itself unexpectedly (although quite expectedly for the audience). But the fact that you know what’s going to happen doesn’t ruin the ride, at least for me. The movie does earn some street cred for using real porn starts, past and present, most notably Katie Morgan and Traci Lords. The other main actors, who will be familiar from other Judd Apatow and Kevin Smith movies do a fine turn, as does the hilarious Tisha Campbell-Martin. While the title of the movie makes us think that it will be about porn and sex, it is actually about love (surprise). Overall, a very enjoyable (if predictable) comedy that had me laughing out loud. Kudos on the fantastic soundtrack which included DMX and Live.
