Sobre este filme

In this satirical, sharp-edged comedy, Amy (Emma Roberts) is a naive, awkward aspiring poet in a post-grad existence that is going nowhere. Living with her parents in a bland upstate New York town, certain of her yet-to-be-acknowledged literary greatness and desperate for income, she begrudgingly accepts a job at Adult World, the local sex shop owned by a frisky elderly couple (including a wonderful Cloris Leachman) and staffed by diva transvestite Rubio and adorable local boy Alex. Amy balances her work amongst the pornography and sex toys by fiercely pursuing a surefire kick start for her success: a mentorship with reclusive, crusty and alcoholic writer Rat Billings, played by a bitterly funny John Cusack.

Emma Roberts plays a wanna-be poet who takes a job in a mom-and-pop adult bookstore while also working as an assistant to a grumpy, somewhat reclusive writer. John Cusack is pretty much the best thing in this indie, as the biting Rat Billings. Evan Peters plays her co-worker Alex, and Cloris Leachman has an all-too-small part as one of the owners of the adult book store.

I love these kinda movies but you have to be ready for it. Not for every and definitely not for kids.

Different and unique. Has its funny moments and also has the ability to relate to its viewers.
