The Amateurs - AppsScraps
An ensemble piece starring Ted Danson, William Fitchner, Jeff Bridges and Joe Pantoliano (among others). Down and out Andy (Bridges) decides to film an adult entertainment video - read: porno - as a way to make some cash, employ his ragtag group of going-nowhere friends and most importantly, impress his son. That premise could be dangerous but director Michael Traeger handles the topic exceptionally well with the right balance of humour, romance and, erm, sex. That said, this film will not be for everyone and opened to, well, bad reviews. Yet I found it endearing with a sort of tongue in cheek simpleness that was perfect for movie watching as an escape on a summer Sunday afternoon.
My rating 7 out of 10.Pleasantly Surprised - mistiblu
I played this one, not expecting much as I'd never heard of it before. I was pleasantly surprised!
Set in a small town, the town losers need a way to make some money and decide to go with making a porno. Yes, it does come across as low budget and cheesy but it is good! It has as interesting cast, big name stars and a little romance thrown in.
It is probably not your thing if you go for big budget, shoot-em-up flicks but if you like an interesting story with a bit of a twist at the end, give it a go!give this a go! - steveandlindy
This is a super film that overwelms with it's innocence! The last time I remember having enough for mature and younger watchers was On Golden Pond. I'm actually going to give it to my parents as a gift- a great concept done in an endearing and watchable way.
