If you like Mumblecore films, (and if you know what they are, then you probably do
) you'll probably like Dear Pillow.
Unlike reality shows, these types of films, including Dear Pillow, really make it real. They're methodically slow with genuine dialogue (even if you don't like it) and a budget that will give any inspiring filmmaker hope of making it big or otherwise.
In this case, we have a teen boy who's, duh, horny, but also a voyeur in his apartment complex. He's desperate to lose his virginity, even if with the gay neighbor of his, despite him being straight.
Instead of getting it on with the gay guy, Dusty (Gary Chason) they strike up a friendship when the boy, Wes (Rusty Kelley) expresses interest in writing for a porn magazine and his infatuation with another neighbor, Lorna (Viviane Vives) becomes well-known.
Dusty was in the industry, and might still be, so he coaches the newbie to the wonderful world of whores, or porn, and things plus feelings are revealed.
I liked it. The actors are sincere, especially Vives and Kelley and the plot does move along. The dialogue is good and the character Wes actually stole what I've always said about coffee: "It tastes like burnt water." Hey, that's my line!
Finally, it's not huge (no pun) and despite the "unrated" words on the DVD cover, it's hardly anything to watch to, um, well, you know. Like the articles Wes wants to write, it's almost all just words.
