Sorry, this movie sucks
Absolutely brilliant
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
About Cherry has a simple story, girl grows up in family were the mother is an alcoholic so she needs to go away, to run from home. She has a boyfriend who introduces her to quit her job at a laundry and go for a photo shoot. What she doesn't know is that the shoot will be used to be put online but it pays well so she agrees. But with her beautiful body she needs the money and knows that it earns the green colour easily so she moves to San Fran and before she can say a thing she moves from a girl online to a porn set. What this flick is trying to show is how easily you are tricked by a stupid photoshoot to a set were you have to proof you have other abilities. being written with an actual porn star this should show you how the business works and how you are fooled by the porn industry but some things doesn't work. What it shows is that you can have lots of money a day by doing lesbian things. of course a man-woman situation pays more so our girl here do moves to that part. What this flick had to show is that once you are into the porn industry you can't leave it that easy.I came across this flick due James Franco being in it but he isn't in it that long and his character doesn't work at all. He's a big spender who falls in love with the girl and gives her expensive clothes and drugs. that's all. Be advised that this flick has a lot of nudity and especially from Ashley Hinshaw who plays Angelina or once a porn star Cherry. For me the decay that should be seen from Cherry isn't there, she's doing it all with a big smile, leaving friends and family behind, going for the money and having a lesbian relation with her boss...Gore 0/5 Nudity 3/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5
interesting story line, interesting until there is no climax and you are left feeling as though you wasted your time. there is nothing special about cherry, which could represent that her ordinariness means she is relatable to any young female that could end up in the pornography industry. either way I cant help but feel if there was a better ending the film would have been better, although the ending it had did seem like the most probable it was very disappointing. it was very interesting to see a movie that glamourized the pornography business, however It would have been a bit better if it had shown of the darker truths, the filmed seemed as though it was about female dominance and did not expose the female oppression in pornography. although I do suppose this film shows one of the two sides.. I wouldn't recommend it but its not a bad little film to watch.
I just watched this movie. The thing about it is that the characters are very shallow. The acting is good but the characters lack depth and you don't understand why things happen.Most of the characters appear briefly and we never get to know what happens at the end. Cherry/Angelina's cocaine-addict boyfriend suddenly disappears and we never hear from him again. She argues with her best friend and we don't know what happens to him at the end. The same with her mom's abusive boyfriend and Heather Graham's girlfriend. It's like things happen for no reason. Thing just ... happen. Characters have no impact on the plot. They just come and go. The end is absolutely rubbish.It's a good movie if you are so bored and wanna kill some time but don't have high expectations.I would rate it 2 out of 10 but I gave 4 because acting wasn't that bad.
18 year old Angelina (Ashley Grace) sells naked pictures of herself to raise money to run away to San Francisco with her best friend Andrew (Dev Patel). She comes from a dysfunctional family and he's secretly in love with her. She gets involved with drug-addicted lawyer Frances (James Franco). Lesbian former porn actress Margaret (Heather Graham) recruits her to be in her film.Ashley Hinshaw is a fashion model, and she has the acting skills to prove it. Overall the movie had no joy, no pace, no tension, no drama. There is one good scene with Dev Patel, but that's not enough to recommend this film.
