Yeah maybe this was a breakout movie for porn.Maybe this film took porn movies from being just perverted little stag films in someone's basement to mainstream movie theaters where it became chic' to see a porno movie, but as a movie,as art if you will,"Deep Throat" sucked. I suppose you should see this movie just to be able to say you have saw it but as far as being a good porno movie it is nothing to lose your head over.Compared to all the hype it has received this film probably won't blow you away.You'll most likely feel a little down in the mouth after seeing this film.Some things are just better left to the imagination I suppose.
The premise of this movie is that a woman,played by Linda Lovelace,goes to the doctor after a lifetime of disappointing sexual encounters.Its seems she can't reach orgasm.The good doc,played by Harry Reems,discovers that our heroine's clitoris is in her throat,only after a through physical exam of course.Now that may be the best thing about this movie---that crazy premise of having a clitoris in the throat.Of course then Linda sets out to find men who can help her reach her,ahem,goal.
Other than Reems the acting is pretty lousy in this movie.Reems is a natural as the crazy doc.But everyone else seems stiff and rigid and very unnatural.The sets are tacky and rundown and just plain nasty looking at times.The sex is pretty tame compared to todays stuff.And the women aren't all that attractive.Lovelace herself was a really bad actress.She displays no talent at all for acting nor even having sex.Her nose is running in one scene as she plies her talent,which isn't anymore spectacular than her acting talent, despite the title.
Lovelace in later years said she was doped and made to perform at gunpoint during filming for "Deep Throat".Yeah right.I suppose she was also doped and held at gunpoint for all those subsequent porno movies and porno mags she appeared in after the success of "Deep Throat".Frankly if I'm going to make someone perform oral sex at gunpoint on film she would be a hell of a lot hotter than Lovelace was and much better at doing the thing that gave this film it's title.
Besides Reems about the only fun thing in this film is the theme song.It is one you might be singing snippets of long after you've seen the movie.See the movie only as the historical film it is.Don't watch this movie expecting to see lots of hot women and men engaging in hot torrid sex because if you do you will be let down.
Approach this film as though you are going to a museum to see an old relic and you won't be too let down at all the over hype you've heard about this film for all these years.
