SPOILER ALERT
A lot of people say this movie is all Christian propaganda. I don't think it is. It's a movie where the women save the men and where men are displayed as creatures of simplicity (porn, yeah).
None the less, I was drunk today and felt like watching it. I watched it before when I was a kid and even back then I kept thinking "why does he not masturbate?" This young man spends so many hours in front of porn that it eventually ruins his life but he never gets it on. He never pleases himself. Is that a subliminal message?
Another goof (or, maybe this is some kind of subliminal message too) is that the so-perfect-and-not-shallow-at-all mother of the family wants to take a trip in the beginning of the movie. The husband hesitates, and she leans on him and whispers in his hear "ill make it worth your while". Yeah, okay, hoe?
Then afterward, she rants on and on about how women are more than just vaginas and breasts which Jeremy finds attractive in the movie.
WHY does he kill himself? Is it REALLY, or has it REALLY, ever been that hard to stop watching porn? I don't get it, what kind of reality does the makers live in? WHY did that slut bang her head bloody when Jeremy rejected her? She was so popular and loved, she didn't need to bleed to convince people that Jeremy hit her.
I think this is a movie people should watch at school. At least it showed me back in the day when I was 16 and it was new how to question film makers and scripts.
Imm'a give this 2 stars, because of the hot slutty girl.
