Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (30 November 2013)

I may miss something here. More than 100 reviews, 7,3 average, described as stellar and hilarious. Is it Italian dubbing's fault? Or American's idea of hilarious? Not really sure but what I found is simply "genuine" (like in the poster) foolishness.
The first section on Jon's porn philosophy is great and the camera work, the editing, the music just represent it in all its magnificent pride. Then comes Scarlett and the massive editing stops remembering us all what real life is (and how beautiful can be...). Then you forget that it's a film and it becomes a live bad drama-bad comedy-bad docu (some actors were pretty good nonetheless): here you're not interested anymore in the editing and you just wait for something, the climax, the point, a smile... then comes the end.
I don't really know if there's a point here. It seems that here we have a docu on porn addiction and sexual issues, a comedy on an ignorant nice guy in love with the most gorgeous girl of the town or a drama on sexual relationships and the balance of power between modern men and women. And I don't like either of them:
The docu is superficial. Some good moments with Julienne Moore only. I appreciate the view on Jon's porn philosophy he shared with us in his simplistic style: I find many interesting points of discussion in there and would have appreciated a film "talking" about that.
The comedy is not hilarious at all. It's a matter of tastes but this is truly bittersweet too much with the church and the family and the friends. Too much to make me something more than smile.
The drama is the least engaging and you would even like to see something else instead of Scarlett. Why should be interesting that a guy falls in love for his virtual sex dream without even knowing her, then porn separates them, then you get that some women may behave like b*****s with men without brains and with the sexual life of an orango in heat. So deep and engagin.
I think many reviews really overate it by finding something likable in any of the three tracks (Scarlett in the drama of course).
Intouchables was hilarious. This was just... meh.
