    A neat little movie

    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.

    Clever, fresh, and some pee in your pants funny moments!

    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, but worth seeing

    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!

    Unfunny, ignorant, dreadful

    Spinal Tap was funny because if you knew a little about heavy metal, you saw in-jokes all over the place. If you know anything about porn, this mock documentary will leave you cold. Everything in it rings false.

    Spinal Tap was funny because it took a familiar world and pushed it over the top. This film is decidedly not funny because it paints a picture of how porn is made that bears no relationship to the real world.

    The acting here is uniformly awful, but that would not matter much if the core idea of the movie were good. But it's not.

    Sex Sells isn't a good movie, but if you're looking for nudity and softcore content, it delivers.

    I recently watched Sex Sells (2005) on Tubi. The storyline follows a veteran porn director looking to make one final film while a documentary crew captures the process, interviewing the cast and crew to provide insight into the industry.

    Written and directed by Jonathan Liebert (You Snooze You Lose), the film stars Mark DeCarlo (Fifty Shades Darker), Priscilla Barnes (Jane the Virgin), Jack Kyle (Intolerable Cruelty), and Lisa Jay (Creepies).

    As expected, the film is filled with nonstop nudity from start to finish. The opening android scene is a highlight, as are some of the behind-the-scenes stories about the adult film industry. The mother-daughter subplot feels unnecessary, but the rest of the content does enough to hold your attention. The comedy is cheesy and rarely as funny or clever as intended, but let's be honest-that's not the main reason anyone is watching this.

    In conclusion, Sex Sells isn't a good movie, but if you're looking for nudity and softcore content, it delivers. I'd score it a 4/10.

      Chuck Steak: *talking to Pursey and Roxy* All right, now, you two, you are the key to this scene. I want to see you get on top of him. *tugs Pursey toward Roxy* I want to see as soon as I call "action", you guys to start going...

      Pursey Galore: *interrupting* Chuck, I can't do this.

      Chuck Steak: What do you mean you can't do it? She's a friend of yours.

      Pursey Galore: *hysterical* It's not in the script, and... and you know I don't do girl-girl.

      Chuck Steak: You don't do girl-girl, I know, but it's Roxy. You guys are friends, I thought...

      Pursey Galore: *yelling* I'm not doing the scene with my mother!
