This was not a bad movie, but not as great as many other reviews I have seen. The main problem is that the movie tries to make you sympathetic to the characters, but none of the characters are sympathetic. I mean, it is basically about some people who do a lot of dumb things and suffer the consequences of their actions. At least in movies like Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, the characters weren't looking for your sympathy - they were just interesting, unique people in an interesting story.
Otherwise, I'm not really sure what the point of this movie is. Every time I expected some interesting new twist to happen, they went back to the original theme. Once again I compare: the scene in Pulp Fiction, with Travolta and Jackson and the 3 rip-off kids, with the scene in Boogie Nights where they try to deal the fake drugs. In Pulp, it has a point. It adds to the story. The Boogie Nights scene is interesting, but is really unrelated to the rest of the film. The whole movie can be described like this - every scene is a mini-movie that does not necessarily have anything to do with the big movie.
As far as sex, I'm actually impressed that a movie about pornography had this little sex. Bachelor Party had as much. Which is good or bad, depending on what you're looking for :)
I gave it 6 of 10.
