action

The two film students who are friends, Joe and Baggy, are looking for a sponsor for their film project. Without Baggy's knowledge, Joe succeeds in winning a producer of porn films for the project, but who only wants to make the film if the porn actress Candy plays along. At an autograph session, the students can persuade Candy to work on the project. The recordings are made in the parental home. The film producer markets the film under his own name and is nominated for an award. The friends quarrel with each other and with Candy over the porn producer. The latter gives the laudatory speech for the film and publishes the correct authors. Baggy gets together with Candy and Joe with his fellow student.

criticism

The film received 63% positive reviews from US film review site Rotten Tomatoes out of a total of eight reviews. The Time Out Film Guide spoke of "lousy supporting actors" and a "cheerful exploitation of the formula from all or nothing ", which, however, "still entertains". The film-dienst understood the "comedy film, rich in references and quotations, as a parody of the sex film genre", whereby the "thoroughly amusing plot would be laid out as a ' film within a film '". The film website kino.de saw the film as “an ironic reference” to “great Hollywood” in the style of Shaun of the Dead . The film magazine Cinema judged: "Smart fun with swipes at the academic film industry and the rough hardcore business".
