Title: hubba hubba!!!
Product review: probably the best movie of 1997, america got scared off by the theme and length of this movie. i never saw it during its initial release, and was hesitant about watching it now because, hey, im kinda averse to 3-hour movies. but this is a first-rate film set against the background of the porn film industry of a generation earlier, with a great star turn by mark wahlberg as a john holmes figure dubbed dirk diggler, LOL. tremendous supporting cast, including john c reilly, julianne moore, don cheadle, alfred molina, philip seymour hoffman, william h macy, and oh yeah, some guy named reynolds -- who was absurdly cheated out of his deserved academy award, much the same as he had been 25 years before for "deliverance" (after all, how could we admit that burt reynolds (haw haw haw) is an ACTOR? director paul thomas anderson had a success with "magnolia" a couple yearsafter this, but sadly has not had the career that this masterpiece presaged. a great movie, on all levels.
