It's like an X-rated movie from the 70's that caused all the controversy this film talks about. But it never takes that step forward to be as daring as they were. Those movies, while most were not great as films, have a place in film history challenging the rating system, censorship and societal norms. This movie falls well behind in that.
As a film, it doesn't work because the story is all over the place. The points it tries to make are often undermined by stupid cuts and plot devices. From the director of one of my favorite films ever, Rocky, I expected more competency.
