Review of The Fluffer

The Fluffer (2001)
5/10
Promising beginning, then disappointing
5 December 2001
The story is about some guy who is completely fascinated by this male pornstar and manage to be a crewmember (sort of) on the set at the pornstudio. It sure is an interesting beginning of a plot and made me curious. And the beginning of the movie IS interesting and the story is never predictable (in fact almost too much happens), but after a while I thought that too many things were left unexplained. People did different things and acted in certain ways, but the audience was left in the dark as to what motivated them. There is so little build-up. Let's kill the boss, let's go to Mexico, let's work in pornmovies! And all along I was asking myself `WHY?'. Scott Gurney as `Johnny Rebel' is handsome and looks the part, but he is rather one-note in his performance. Michael Cunio has more to work with, but becomes a rather uninteresting figure because he is too erratic in his behaviour. As Rebels girlfriend, Roxanne Day, is more multi-layered even though you never quite understand what she sees in her man (except a great 'bod, of course). A movie that manages to cram abortion, murder, child molestation and a run for the border into an hour and a half really should be more gripping than this one is. Disappointing!!
