Regarding Jenny

This time I had a little prior knowledge of the movie and absolutely pounced on the chance to review it - because it looked like absolute awesomeness!

"Regarding Jenny" is all about the plot and thank goodness - I've never really found sex with sextoys to be particularly fun to watch in a film. Don't get me wrong, Jenny gets lots of lovin' and there's so many 'sex' scenes crammed into this movie (of all the porno groups, girl on girl, sex in the shower, blow jobs, etc.) but the since the main character is a real doll, the burden of creating interest in the movie falls squarely on the shoulders of the other performers to "perform." Without them Jenny just wouldn't come alive for the viewer. Thankfully everyone seems pretty dedicated to treating her like 'one of the guys' as it were.

This is probably the first porn-parody that I've really loved. Some say it reminds them of "Lars and the Real Girl," but I think it more closely resembles "The Hills." You see, Jenny moves to California to follow her dreams of becoming a model, but her douchy boyfriend convinces her to come back East and become a porn star instead. Thankfully I'm pretty sure that hasn't happened on "The Hills," yet anyway, but the general douche-bagary seems like a pretty common theme.

Ok, my favorite sex scene would have to be the blow job scene. It was kind of gross, Jenny makes this weird, not-quite-right sucking sound, but that was also why it was my favorite. With the sucking sounds, Jenny actually seemed like an active player in the scene and became real in a way that wasn't managed throughout the rest of the movie. Plus there was a long explanation about camera placement beforehand that gave a little glimpse into the art of shorting porn that I always love to see.

I really loved this movie. Yes there were parts that were a little off putting (the handcuff scene), but for the most part I really loved it. It had me rolling with laughter and really concerned about the characters and where the plot was going to go. In this instance, the plot and the gimmick is what really sets it apart from other films, since for the most part the sex scenes still had that 'playing with a toy' quality that makes them less than fun to watch. The rest of the movie is just fascinating though. "Regarding Jenny" drew lots of gasps, giggles and "what is that?" around the office. I highly recommend it if you're looking for great moments in porno history that might not necessarily get you off night.
