From Straight A's to XXX (2017)

Thanks for the memories!

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Fresh and Exciting

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

After recently watching an interview of a porn-star, I had some idea about what happens behind the scenes. The director here has tried his best to show it. The movie falters when the context of the good and bad side of a porn is brought into question. It only turns to the age-old conservative conclusion that porn is not good. That's a cliché in today's world. When we have already learned to accept all kind of jobs as it is.Lastly, the acting could have been better. The acting kind of seems mechanical. A life is missing in them. The dilemma of the protagonist is too unreal. On one hand, she knows what to expect from the porn industry and bravely joins it, on the other hand, she acts like a Disney princess oblivious to reality.A lot has gone into making the movie set but it surely lacks the content it wants to project.

This is just another one of those made for TV movies that twists the truth as much as humanly possible to get you to feel sorry for the main focus, she was not a straight A down to earth catholic girl by any sense of the word, she was quite the opposite with serious mental problems who took to cutting to deal with it, had they stuck with her real life story it might have been an interesting watch, but as always lifetime has to make the women out to be innocent and weak, it ruined what could have been an interesting true story with another pointless waste of time.Don't bother watching this whether you are a huge fan of hers or never heard of her before, because either way you'll just be getting lied to throughout and come out believing she is someone she most definitely is not.

People need to learn how to review a 'film', and not express their opinions on politics or religion! Out of the 5 reviews before posting mine, at least 2 are garbage and don't discuss the actual film made.So my take on this: well done for amateur actors/directing for a made-for-TV movie.I am a fan of 'based on a true story' films, and sure, 'maybe' this was a little off based on the full true story but it made me at least research the actual character and even look at her interviews. It was very interesting and compelling. I even recognized one of her speeches verbatim in the film on one of the interviews.All in all, I think this film was on point on her real life story and anyone who has interest in this girl or this topic should see it.

I watched this movie and was absolutely speechless. This movie is a shining example of why so many of the young women of today are so messed up in the head. They have confused women empowerment with "I will do what I want to do, and you WILL ACCEPT it no matter what! If you don't accept it, I am the pathetic victim for YOUR lack of acceptance and tolerance".This whole movie is the young girl making bad choice after bad choice and then crying that everybody will not just accept what she is doing. It is really pathetic. I love the way that she tries to justify the porn industry as some liberal feminist playbook move. Last I checked, most liberal feminists DESPISE the porn industry exactly for what some women are subjected to by it.I also did not appreciate the portrayal of conservatives, Catholics or the southern states. They are portrayed as the great evil in this movie for not accepting her stupid decisions. They even made the mother at the hotel checkout desk for wanting to protect her family / children from the smut convention in the hotel as a horrible woman. Well, motherhood, you sure took it right up the keister on that one from Lifetime.The most disturbing part is the ending. When she says that she is going into politics. Great. Just what the democrat party needs. Another scummy, liar spouting views about women's rights while degrading women in one of the worst ways (i.e. Bill Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Elliott Spitzer and too many to list here). It is no wonder so many of these young ladies are coming out of college spewing the crap like that which is portrayed in this movie. I have a relative who has recently graduated college. He didn't date much in college because so many of the girls were just like this idiot in the movie. He has met a young lady who doesn't believe being a strong minded woman means having to subscribe to the Hilary Clinton / Gloria Steinem handbook. It also does not mean being a strong woman means that all men should be weak-minded wimps. She also does not think it is necessary to cut his testicles off to be a strong woman.Avoid the piece of crap. It is not even the usual preaching of political correctness that Lifetime spews out of its bowels.Addendum: I thought about this after my original review. Many of the liberal feminists who have reviewed this laughable piece of crap try to justify the actress and her involvement with the porn industry. What makes it hypocritical at its worst is that these are the same feminists who will protest outside of Hooters saying that girls working there are being exploited as sex objects...... huh????? I would rather see my daughter working at Hooters while she is working through college instead of doing porn, endangering her life, risking pregnancy or catching a lethal disease. Then again, liberal feminism, like most of the liberal / progressive / statist agenda is based on hypocrisy.
