How can you go wrong with the supporting cast? James Woods' portrayal as leading character's-Moon-father afflicted with Parkinson's, Michael Rappaport, Tomas Arana, etc.? C'mon. The film was about a woman's journey through her brief career of porn, but the real story was the great interaction between her and her father, whom she really has a love and compassion for. the plot summary says it's a "Slice of life take on life of international porn celebrity, Moon, and her musings on modern life, love and loss", but I didn't feel her "huge" or "international" success while watching. Yeah, the plot wandered, but you could follow it and enjoy it, too. The dialogue and the feel of the movie is believable. The only thing I did not like was Kip Pardue's character. Real name- Kevin Ian Pardue. Get it? It's an acronym, and clever as Christopher Grace calling himself by half his name-Topher Grace. Anyway, Pardue has not matured yet and I only recall him in Remember the Titans as a high-schooler and he still looks like one. Supposedly he'll be 30 years old in September '06??? But Pardue is a boy and he may never achieve believable adult roles with that baby face goofiness. Trying to cast him as a credible "man" in any film, especially this one, does not work. And giving his blind date character an upscale dwelling and some feel good lines made me anxious for the scenes to end. Yeah, let's give the pizza delivery boy a pimp crib and inject him with empathy and compassion, yeah that'll work. And I love it when actors portray characters who are given their same name in the movie, like he was-how embarrassing! News Flash to Hollywood-Kip Pardue is the 21st century's Anthony Michael Hall, who went from Russ Griswold, to bully in Edward Scissorhands, to Dead Zone retreads. Okay, Hall was also a cog in The Breakfast Club and Weird Science wheel of fortune. But cute actor boys have a short expiration date, and pretty much never go one to be leading men. Other than that inescapable distraction, this movie was entertaining. Another reviewer from Argentina commented this was the director, Ashley Baron Cohen's "best movie to date." I'm sorry, who? Umm, as if this guy is Coppolla or Scorcese or something? Oh, and the DVD extras like the interviews with Juliette Marquis were long and boring. She came across disturbing and twitchy. I liked her acting better than her real self. But I must say that Marquis resembles Angelina Jolie, except MUCH more beautiful and sensually innocent. Those eyes are so, so, je ne sais quois. The other interview was with Rosario Dawson and she comes across like a dork and had nothing of interest to say. Too bad she agreed to be droopy and naked in the tent scene with Colin Farrell in Alexander, but stayed clothed in this movie. Shrewd career decision, Rosario. The extra interviews should have included James Woods, who probably said no. Or why not some of the other girls who were real stripper/porn actresses playing the porn actresses in the movie? Instead we only get Marquis, Dawson, and a promo ad for Parkinson's Disease?
