| Mine: |
Very powerful and intense movie. Just plain amazing performances by the entire cast. Can't wait for Paul Thomas Anderson's next movie. Physically tiring movie. Not for the faint at heart!

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Extraordinary, intense re-creation of life among a "family" of pornographers in the San Fernando Valley, from the late 1970s through the early 1980s. Wahlberg plays a disaffected 17-year-old with no brains but a formidable sex organ who becomes a porn-movie sensation; Reynolds is perfect as the director/paterfamilias who makes him a star. Writer-director Anderson deliberately doesn't judge his characters, but makes them--and their actions--seem utterly real. Tough going at times, but gripping and funny as well. Panavision.
