This is that two-faced kind of movie which on one side is a standard and by no means above average movie while on the other hand, if you look for it, actually has a deeper meaning, ready to be discussed and philosophized around, attached to it (wether it was intentional or not I don't know and ultimately it doesn't matter).
Parallels can be drawn to the lead characters addiction to porn (and the characters therein) and what he himself ultimately has to go through in order to "cleanse" himself.
Usually I like these kind of movies and am willing to forgive the not-above-average side of them, though in this one the parts with deeper meanings felt a little disconnected and thus the lower rating.
Still it is a good movie if you have no better choice and you're in the mood for a dark comedy with a splash of social commentary.
