    Fun, flimsy, sweet, forgettable

    This moves along in a good-natured way, with mainly predictable steps. Once we get to the offices of a porn site/magazine, there are some easy jokes off sex toys, etc. And a few stock characters - a malevolent loser, a slightly creepy if sweet nerd, a decent potential love interest. Elizabeth Gilles looks a little like she wandered out of "Two Broke Girls" and has a similar mix of conventional and adventurous sexuality. Her surprise mission is vaguely reminiscent of "Ugly Betty" or "The Devil Wore Prada", with her out to save a world she initially doesn't sympathize with at all; at moments it feels a little like "Emily in Paris" if Emily had ended up in a completely unfamiliar industry rather than a new city. The ultimate outcome isn't particularly surprising, but the journey to get there is painless enough if you're not watching too closely.

    Bad morals, Bad writing, Meh comedy

    Elizabeth Gillies is too talented to be here, in the beginning of the movie she got a few real laughs out of me, her delivery is on point as always but even she couldn't save this movie in the long run. On a real level she is the reason I watched this, I've recognized her talent ever since Victorious aired on nickelodeon, I always thought she was the best actor and singer on that show and was so excited to see her grow in both fields. Sadly most projects she is attached to don't tend to be all that good, this is no exception. This movie is degenerate for degeneracys sake, if this movie came out when I was in or fresh out of high school I probably would have fooled myself into liking it more, but I'm 27 and this movie is too Juvenile for how explicit it is. The characters are cartoonishly over the top, and the plot is predictable. Not to get too graphic but this is not an accurate portrayal of the porn industry, and I get its a comedy and dosen't have to be, but all the sex positive feminism in porn is vastly overstated. The industry is rampant with addiction, disease, abuse, and SA along with a ton of other problems that feminists as well as all decent people could easily identify as moral evils. This isn't the worst thing ive seen Liz in I can't say I enjoyed "Animal" more than this movie but I really hope she gets some better roles in the future.

    Unexpectedly fun romp

    I stumbled on this, watched the little opening clip that seemed intriguing and fired it up, not expecting that I would watch more than 5 minutes. Turned out it was a really fun, very well written and well acted movie. All to often with streaming movies I end up pausing and looking to see "how much longer" but not this time.

    The basic storyline (out of work young woman falls into a job and does ridiculously well) has been done over and over, but the movie manages to make it fresh and funny, with some unexpected twists and turns. Definitely some "laugh out loud" moments.

    All of characters are spot on and the laughs don't feel forced. It does get raunchy in spots but even if you think you might be offended, I highly recommend firing it up... you may find yourself laughing.

    Not bad at all

    Despite its unserious tone, this movie proves to be a delightful and engaging comedic romp throughout. Elizabeth Gillies shines in her role, skillfully portraying a strong female presence in the workplace. Each of the coworkers feel right, even if they are a bit cliche (the mean one, the weird one, the old man, and the one you want to be with).

    Every joke hits its mark, with several delivering laugh-out-loud moments. Considering its modest budget and relatively short production schedule, it offers a refreshing blend of comedy and a contemporary perspective on the adult entertainment industry.

    Pretty Decent

    This was pretty tastefully done. I was shocked to see the one very low review so far. This movie has a heavy topic and in my opinion could almost be on Lifetime be because despite being about porn and a few very lightly risqué scenes, it's practically a PG movie.

    I thought the cast pf characters were spectacular. Each person had a pivotal role when it came down to character development.

    Tubi content for African-Americans has become so formulaic. I wish more films that are Tubi originals would have black folks dealing with life in a comedic melodrama. I just want to see Tubi branch out the repetitive topics! Thanks.
