Nolan Funk went full frontal and they cut it?

The movie is bad, but I've seen worse this year. The movie looks cheap as hell though. How long was the script? Couldn't have been too long. Most of the film is random long shots of characters driving, walking through houses and around them, etc to probably fill up the running time. If you're going to be terrible, at least put your lead porn star to use and have some fun scenes with him. But they even failed to do that. I imagine the film will easily make its $250k budget back though from curious Lindsay Lohan and James Deen fans. The only one who managed to do a decent job was Nolan Funk. I need more movies with him.

This had a 1 star review in the lastest issue of Rolling Stone.

Can you imagine Criterion announcing this as a future release? I can see some of the comments already:

"Day one for me!"
"Definitely getting this. Day one blind buy for me!!"
"Never heard of this but I've got it pre-ordered!!!"

Quite fitting that a film about superficial emptiness receives empty and superficial reviews. Even beyond the looped ending of the film there is a continuation of its flaunted vacancy.

Yup people would line up to get it just because it's Criterion, heck maybe even if it were just Twilight Time or Blue Underground.

Hmmm...that's just a ridiculous statement. If this film is as bad as I hear, Criterion wouldn't touch it.

High praise from Seth Rogen...

I was being facetious. Jeez, dude.

I read a review that said ONLY:

"Do you really want to see Lindsey Lohan naked at this point?"

That pretty much sums it up.

I hear he is full-frontal in the version online. Maybe it's just erect shots that were cut?
