My daughter called the book Mommy Porn. Personally I have no interest in looking at this kind of trash I got that out of my system when the Pussycat was still in business.

The reviews are terrible. One said that the only torture in the movie was watching it.

Fortunately, I don’t know ANY woman (family or friends) that would pay to watch this kind of trash.

No intention to see it at all. My wife read the book because her friend gave her the book and called it trash.

Fed up of seeing all the sex , I get the picture when the guy kisses the girl on the bed I don’t want to watch two minutes of them making out like I’m a pervert peeping tom let alone this garbage.

A pathetic excuse (it’s like “serious” artistic expression of a social issue) to go watch a porn flick.

My wife knows one woman who had given her the book who would watch it and guess what she is single and thinks she is a Hollywood actress in how she dresses.

You’ve just described every Harlequin romance novel published in the last 60 years. What used to be called a “bodice ripper”. There is nothing new under the sun. The only thing that has changed is the societal approval of it.

This is an excellent movie for those who can tolerate subscript dialogue. It's just out in the U.S., and is well worth watching. I guarantee that you will need tissues.

Any guy that REALLY feels a need to watch this should just go to Bing video search and type in some random woman’s name with safe search off. I’m sure he’ll find what he REALLY wants.

It’s our current cultural equivalent of “Deep Throat”.
