(Warning spoilers - isn't much to give away with this movie, but below is the entire plot so just fyi spoilers )Some people love it. To me (Just my own opinion), movie didn't have any real point other than scarlet Johansson will leave you if you watch porn, and you will end up with someone that could be your mom. So moral of the story. Porn. Not even once. Or cougars will find you.

Very well directed, but poor handling of the second half ultimately made this a bit of a time-waster. Basically, the script totally forgets how to handle a hero's journey halfway through, and leaves things to just sort of fall into place. The one moment of satisfaction (singing in the car) is cut short, and the curious final church scene is left hanging.

If you are expecting comedy and romance, this is not your film, but if the masculine psyche in America is your interest, this one is very valuable. The action taking place is in the main character mind, his lifestyle of misleading porn, manly peer ranking and religion and how a chance relationship with a mature woman shows him sex must be, most of all, two human beings communicating. Very good film on its own terms.
