Sex Sells: The Making of 'Touché'

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. My boyfriend picked it out, and I thought it was going to be an American Pie type raunchy comedy. But it's a lot more than that. Yeah, there's nudity and sex and penis jokes, but there's also a serious story, clever plot twists, and some really intelligent humor. You'd never know from the poster, but there's even a social message about the roles of sex and violence in our culture. I especially liked how women are portrayed as strong and smart. And I loved all the Terminator references! The writer is obviously a big sci-fi fan. (Terminator is one of my all-time favorite movies-- yeah, I know, pretty unusual for a chick!) Mostly though its just a fun comedy with a lot of laugh out loud jokes. I read the first review posted here, and it's right-- you need to like Kevin Smith/SouthPark kind of humor. If you can't laugh at porn, sex and a three and half foot penis, you probably won't like this film. Oh, one more thing... Adrian Zmed looks hot!! I never knew he was so well endowed!

This is a neat little movie. My friend brought it back from a trip to England, along with another gem called Late Night Shopping. Sex Sells is the story of some porn actors living and working in California. There's not much of a story. It's more about getting to know the actors and the director. Everyone we meet is funny and weird and very likable. The basic message seems to be that everyone is the same, no matter what occupation you work in. About half way through the film I realized that the main actress is Terry from Three's Company! I guess she wanted to do something different from the goody-goody image from TV. She's great, but she talks and swears like a sailor in some parts. This isn't a movie for kids, but the sex isn't too nasty.

I bet this is going to be a cult classic someday. I swear as long as I live I'll always remember Adrian Zmed with his 42 penis! I went with a bunch of friends and everyone loved it--except for a couple that hated it. The humor does get a little raunchy, but nothing more than I've seen on Sex and the City. I was totally surprised when I saw a few people walk out in the middle of the movie, since I thought it was hysterical. Everyone else was laughing so much I know I missed some of the jokes. This is one of those movies you can tell everyone was having fun just making it. The plot about a group of porn actors and their director making a last movie together doesn't really matter. It's all the funny interactions between the people that makes the movie so good. By the end you really care about these odd, quirky people.

Funny and flawed is the best way I can describe this film. Most of the acting was really good (especially Chuck the director and Roxy the porn star), but a couple of the parts seemed just a little flat. The humor was hilarious and clever sometimes, although hit or miss at others. I had a pretty good grin on my face for most of the movie, so that puts it above most of the comedies I see these days. I really liked the story about these porn professionals making their last movie together, and some of the plot twists are pretty slick. I didn't really buy the relationship between the documentary guy and the hot actress, but that seemed to be a pretty minor part of the story. I saw "Inside Deep Throat" just before this (another great movie) and liked it for some of the same reasons: it's different. It's entertaining, and something you don't see everyday, and well, dammit, I just like movies about porn!

It wasn't something I was gonna see due to I like action movies that add sex to them. But cleverly this was a movie that had sex (making it sexy) that cleverly added a sword fight to it (action; sort of, kinda)! All in all, it was very well done, catches you off guard with realistic life humor not just slapstick. Each girl really looked great too, a diverse group of sex appeal from mature to the nubile. Yummy!

I grew up with threes company, and always wanted to see more of each of them. Well, I got to see more of Pricilla Barnes! Right from the beginning she set the mood with a right on way to go girl kind of thing. The rest of the movie kept up the pace. You were pleasantly looking around the corner for the next fun moment. Every movie I have see drags at some point, this movie didn't seem to have that problem. It had just enough depth to follow several characters around and keep you interested and giggling!

I give it 2 thumb up!
