I went into this movie with the preconceived notion that it was a sleazy soft-core type production.Instead, it turned out to be a decent comedy (Its genre is listed as "Drama", but that's a bit of a misnomer). It's a mostly light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek look at the porn industry from the unique perspective of a dedicated make-up artist trying her best to do her job under difficult circumstances.There were some genuinely funny moments and even a couple of moments where the film tried to be a bit heartfelt, but came across as hammy.People looking at this title solely for titillation will be severely disappointed as this is not even remotely pornographic. There is only brief, non-sexual nudity and one instance of a woman moaning (loudly) off-screen, but in a humorous context.Everyone else, approaching it with an open mind might be pleasantly surprised with what they get.
