The Amateurs, a Film About a Porno, with No Nudity......

    I know I haven't written in here in a while, but here it goes.  I rented the movieThe Amateurs from the RedBox today.  I was going to get Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?, but they didn't have it so I gotThe Amateurs instead.  I'd heard of The Amateurs movie several months ago, and thought it may be interesting, but probably not that good.   I was wrong.  I was very wrong.  This movie is awesome!!!!!  The cast is awesome!!!  The cast includes: Jeff Bridges, Patrick Fugit, Ted Danson, Joe Pantoliano, William Fichtner, Lauren Graham, Glenne Headley, Tim Blake Nelson, Isaiah Washington and Jeanne Tripplehorn.  It is the story of a small town that never really did anything big, so I bunch of the guys in town decide to produce their own porno.  Ted Danson's character is gay but won't admit it.  He plays a really funny gay guy.  Jeff Bridges is the head of the pack trying to make this film.  For a film about a porno, there is no nudity.  There is a tiny bit of ass nudity, including Ted Danson's, but that's it.  Isaiah Washington plays a black man who was cast in the movie as one of the well endowed black guys who has a four-way with the skinny white guy.  But he and the other two black guys were not "endowed enough", so they were fired.  Isaiah Washington's character and Jeff Bridges get into a really funny argument in a diner about their issue of Washington was not "endowed enough".  But that is really ok.  This movie is really funny.  I mean really funny.  The ending was great too.  I won't really saw what happened, but the ending was really smart.  All and all it was just a really unexpectedly funny movie.  The sad thing is very few people have heard of it.  I think it would have been a lot bigger if it was marketed better.  So go see this movie!!!!!!  I've included the trailer for the film below:
