I remember seeing "Star 80" in the theater (Bellerose, NY). I've seen it a few times since but not that often. It's too much of a downer. I watched it today and it is a good movie but it's also a sleazy movie. An innocent girl gets drawn into the world of pornography and it ends up destroying her. It's a sad but, unfortunately, not an uncommon story. Dorothy Stratten had a chance to break into main stream entertainment but that was not guaranteed. As far as the acting goes, Eric Roberts does a nice job. Mariel Hemingway looks great naked but I think she was a little miscast. Overall, "Star 80" is worth seeing but it's a sleazy and sad watch.
