Revealing mistake: In Dirk's first sex scene with Amber they are both supposed to be naked except for their shoes. At the end of the scene Amber sits up on the table on which they had sex as a female stage hand wraps her in a robe, and you can see she is wearing black panties. (00:54:54)

1/10.I've changed my mind about this movie.It's pure propaganda by Hollywood who had no business lecturing us about something like the adult film industry.Yes they're people,anyone could figure that much out,who have a right to do what they're doing.They also have the right to pursue this and not be treated like trash while doing it or after they're done doing and move onto to other things.Reynolds had an attitude problem about this,yet he wasn't bothered by the glamorization of criminals in an earlier movie of his The Longest Yard?. Julianne Moore gets an Oscar nod for this?.Nina Hartley and Veronica Hart,why they did this,I have no idea other than they sold out.Shame too as Nina was still smoking hot,Hollywood lecturing the public on this is the equivalent of Bill Clinton lecturing boys on how to treat girls.Don't watch it.I did and was fooled for a long time by it until I wished up about it recently.Not worth your time.

Trivia: Loosely based on the events of porn legend John Holmes' (died from AIDS-related liver failure in 1988) life.
Question: Why was Little Bill so casual about seeing his wife cheat on him? I know he was furious, but he was still unusually calm, he just acted like he caught her holding hands with someone else, not like she was having sex with someone else. And why was his wife so casual about it too? She acted like she did nothing wrong.
Chosen answer: SPOILER ALERT: It was the 1970's. Loose morals. The era of free love. Little Bill and his wife were active in the porn industry. It's likely that his wife presumed, but never discussed with her husband, an "open relationship." Bill, stunned by his discovery (but, perhaps, suspecting it all along), was simply trying to maintain his composure and not seem pathetically unhip by what would be perceived as an absurd overreaction. Clearly, however, he was suppressing a great deal of internalized rage. Ultimately, but very calmly as always, he eventually shoots and kills his wife and her gentleman caller mid-coitus, and then eats his own gun, at Jack's New Year's Eve Party, 1980.
