Being Ron Jeremy
A crude but agreeable comic spoof ofBeing John Malkovich, this 2003 short comedy posits a question that many men may have idly wondered over the past 30 years: what's it like to be adult-film star Ron Jeremy? Director Brian Berke stars as a failed stand-up comic and porn-store clerk who discovers a way to assume Jeremy's body. Unfortunately, Berke's lack of skill with the ladies endangers Ron's career, so with the help of Andy Dick (as himself) he attempts to regain control of his famously portly frame. Awash in broad gags (with a particular emphasis on flatulence jokes) and nudity (provided by several popular female adult stars),Being Ron Jeremywill definitely appeal to fans of lowbrow laughs, though Jeremy and Andy Dick occasionally rise above the material in their good-natured self-parodies. Die-hard Ron Jeremy enthusiasts will love the supplemental material, which includes footage of his stand-up act, a Q&A; session about his adult c.v., and a behind-the-scenes featurette, as well as a gallery of deleted scenes and outtakes, and some undraped interviews with his female co-stars.--Paul Gaita
