Slater slays his role as Bryan Kocis, the gay porn tycoon whose murder shook the gay porn industry back in 2007, as does Disney protege Garrett Clayton, who is clearly trying to shed his family-friendly image.

Aside from Slater, Molly Ringwald turn up looking great. Ditto Alicia Silverstone who seems a bit off key as the mother of up and coming porn star, very well played by Disney ingénue Garrett Clayton. The star of the show however, although not necessarily the best performance, is James Franco who acts as well as produces. He succeeds once again in further muddying the water with regards to his involvement in these types of unconventional projects.… Expand
