A stupefyingly dull and utterly pointless documentary about two of the most uninteresting people ever to be filmed. But for the fact that this seemingly "normal" couple, in search of a fast, easy buck, bought a porn bookstore in L.A., there would be no possible excuse for this miserable waste of time and bandwidth. Because there is no story whatsoever, except that the porn store is somewhat successful for a while and then goes bust when free internet porn comes along, the "filmmakers" pad out their opus with endless interviews and reminiscences about nothing by the self-absorbed subjects. Who could possibly have thought that this trivial nonsense was worthy of a documentary? Karnak says... the family! That's right, folks - the progeny of the original two bores deemed their fascinating lives appropriate for 90 minutes of navel gazing. I was only able to watch most of this (I stopped a few minutes short of the end) by limiting myself to no more than ten minutes a night. I waited patiently for something to happen. It didn't.
