Lovelace - Good girls and bad boys

`Lovelace' is about the `first' scripted pornography film, aka `Deep Throat,' which was made in 1972 and follows the story of the star Linda `Lovelace.' It's actually more based on her book, `Ordeal,' the title of which tells you more what this movie is about.

If you watched `Boogie Nights' and enjoyed the light-hearted look at the `adult entertainment' industry and are hoping for something similar, then you may be in for a shock.

Linda falls for a charming guy who, at first, is her knight in shining armour. However, it isn't long before he reveals his true colours and leads her down a path of everything sleazy.

Amanda Seyfried is cast in the titular role and pretty much is tasked with carrying the film by herself, which, I'm pleased to say, she does pretty well. A lot of the scenes are fairly uncomfortable to watch, so you may need a strong stomach for this. Also, Amanda is surrounded by a decent cast of supporting actors who all add to the film's flavour.

What you end up with is a very decent biopic picture of one of recent history's partially tragic characters. I thought it told the story well, although I'm not too sure how much I'd want to watch this film again - the sort of film that gives you more for your money if you rent it, rather than buy.

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
