Sex Sells: The Making of 'Touché'

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.

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!

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!

This movie is really funny, sexy, raunchy, and surprising warm hearted! I have to admit, I saw it because the poster promised "a mockumentary about the making of a porno film". And let me tell you, it doesn't disappoint! Early on there is probably one of the most graphic sex scenes I've ever seen in a movie--but it's also hysterically funny at the same time. Priscilla Barnes (who played Terri on Three's Company) looks hot as hell as a porn star! There are some pretty twisted sight gags, like one of the actors having a 42 inch penis. There's another gag that's one the funniest things I've ever seen in a film. I won't spoil it. Seriously, you have to see it to believe it. I saw the movie at a film festival in Greenwich, so I have no idea what it is rated, but it may need some editing to get it into theaters.

Basically the film follows a group of porn actors making their last film together. It's funny because they are all friends, but they're constantly bickering with other like little kids. The director is trying to stage a big orgy, but everything keeps going wrong. And right in the middle of all this there's actually a serious story involving a new star doing her first film.

Overall this is a great film with some quality acting. The humor is a little twisted, but if you like South Park, or Kevin Smith films, you'll love it.

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.
