I wonder if they made this intentionally funny. I'll bet the writers were told by their bosses to do a movie about porn addiction, and they sat around trying to come up with the zaniest plot they could imagine. How could the actors keep a straight face while saying lines like, "Pornography! I'm watching PORNOGRAPHY!"? Or: "Because you brought this pornography into our house...!"

I think the actors must've thought this was a big joke, because there are other Kelly Lynch movies (even a Lifetime one, I believe) where she does scenes which are quite R-rated.

I don't know that there's much I can say about this gem that hasn't already been said. I just want to emphasize the genius of choosing the Dad character. It's like they tried to have an uglier version of Al Bundy who hasn't taken a bath. One of the funniest scenes, I think, is when the mom (Kelly Lynch) is on his back giving him a massage. He's slovenly and unkempt while she's wearing a nice sweater. And why does he wear that shirt that's clearly too big for him if he cares enough about his appearance to wear a tie?

One observation I'd like to make: I think the Linkin' Park music knock-off reference has already been alluded to, but I think there's also a part of the movie where they rip off the intro of "Sowing the Seeds of Love" by Tears for Fears.
