Review of Deep Throat

Deep Throat (1972)
7/10
Classic hardcore porn!
9 January 2007
Deep Throat will always be remembered for the fact that it was a pioneer of hardcore porn, but that isn't the only reason to see it; as even if you're not into watching people have sex, there's plenty to enjoy about Deep Throat. The plot would lend itself nicely to a comedy film, and follows a woman who goes to see the doctor as she's not enjoying sex. After examining her, he comes to the conclusion that her clitoris isn't in the usual place and is, in fact, in her throat. Naturally, he refers her to a specialist...nah, just kidding! He treats her by pulling his pants down and showing her a new way to enjoy sex! (The clue is in the title). The film stars the sinful Linda Lovelace as 'herself' (albeit with a clitoris in her throat), and she gets to enjoy herself with a variety of men, including well experienced porn star Harry Reems, who is an absolute blast as Lovelace's unorthodox doctor! The song that features throughout the film is ridiculously stupid, but somehow helps it in terms of atmosphere and comedy value. It has to be said that the majority of the film is taken up by wall to wall pornography, but at least Deep Throat does take the time to tell some sort of story, and overall the film is wickedly entertaining, and therefore comes highly recommended to everyone who hasn't already caught it!
