4.0 out of 5 stars "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" meets "The Full Monty"
Absolutely delightful fantasy about two clueless British guys trying to make it big in the film industry via a road less traveled. I found it hysterically funny. The juxtaposition of dry British humour with the production of a problematic porn film had me giggling helplessly. The best way I can describe this film is as a "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" meets "The Full Monty"...

1.0 out of 5 stars No candy in this one!
Okay, I love Carmen Electra...she has a figure to die for, however, the concept of the movie and the DVD cover are EXTREMELY deceptive. There isn't a whole lot of Carmen at all in this flick. The character she plays is supposed to be a porn star, so you would think that she would show some skin when she does appear, right?
WRONG! There is more nudity in a Gremlins...

WRONG! There is more nudity in a Gremlins movie than in this cheeseball!
You can get a good look at her from behind about...oh, let's see...once, and she's only in lingerie throughout the entire flick, which is about all she wears on a day to day basis anyway.
So don't get your hopes up if you think you're going to see Carmen's fabulous figure in any more than her normal everyday pictures that are strewn out by the millions all over the internet.
ENOUGH ABOUT THAT...ON TO THE MOVIE:
A one star stinker!
The acting is ridiculously bad, the plot premise is way too far-fetched to take itself seriously (even for a comedy)! Who are these people anyway? I haven't heard of a single one of them being in any other notable movies! And it looked like it was filmed in someone's personal garage and backyard as well!
Poor production on all accounts!
STAR FACTOR: One miserable, let-down star!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" meets "The Full Monty", July 24, 2011
Absolutely delightful fantasy about two clueless British guys trying to make it big in the film industry via a road less traveled. I found it hysterically funny. The juxtaposition of dry British humour with the production of a problematic porn film had me giggling helplessly. The best way I can describe this film is as a "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" meets "The Full Monty" kind of film. Seriously, I had to tape my ribs after watching this one. lol.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly funny, well written, and acted (sorry guys...), July 26, 2011
I'll be honest, I only watched this because I was tired, it was free (Prime membership rocks!), and I wanted to see some "candy". I thought I'd watch for a bit and then switch to something more worthwhile after I got my fix. But the movie was really funny, and the acting was good. The situations weren't over played, and mostly non-cliche, which was the most surprising. I've never seen Carmen in a movie before, and while she's no Hepburn, I really liked her in this. Now that I've seen this, I think I'll stop avoiding films with her in them (sorry about that Carmen). Anyway, to sum it up, instead of getting my "candy" fix, I got my "really good comedy" fix instead. Very worth watching.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor script, August 23, 2008

This review is from: I Want Candy (DVD)
Sorry, I just did not like this film. Every turn in the script was totally unbelievable, and it was not very funny.

Maybe some will like it. Put it this way: if you think that somebody eating toast with pubic hair in the butter is hilarious, and if are not bothered by the logic of two guys apparently believing that combining their epic love story script with a porn movie will get them into Hollywood, then you'll like this film.

4.0 out of 5 stars splendid nerds, April 27, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Want Candy (DVD)
Carmen is not seen until suffering movie is one-half over.
How she teamed with these nerds is beyond words.
I guesss the answer is like asking Ed McMahon why he did commercials until he died--he needed the money.
Hey Carmen: you dont need stuff like this to film for us.

2.0 out of 5 stars Save your money - i was disappointed, May 8, 2010
This review is from: I Want Candy (DVD)
i got this movie used because of carmen electra in the title role. the movie is english with accents and english type humor and carmen is only in the movie about 10 minutes total. even used for a couple bucks it isn't worth it. if you want a good comedy with carmen electra try Mating Habits of the Earthbound Humans. other decent movies w/ carmen electra are Rent Control and Getting Played

4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny film, November 21, 2008
This review is from: I Want Candy (DVD)
This has a lot of good laughs in it, it's a mix between a situation comedy and the background behind an "arty" sex film made by students who end up owing some sleazy gangsters.

It has a lot of good moments in it and some excellent lines. It's a good film.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK to enjoy porn..., April 17, 2009
By 
This review is from: I Want Candy (DVD)
I am not sure what I was hoping for when I got this, other than that I wanted to see Tom Riley in something else. He plays quite a brat, producer, smooth dick to Tom Burke's sulking wannabe director. They, driven by the absolute need to make a movie, any movie, find themselves making soft porn with Candy Fiveways (Carmen Electra). Yeay.
Ensues lots of porn/cooking gags. Some good, some not so great. Something lacks in this movie, something about heart... or maybe it's too long... or the actors fail to convince.
Maybe it's a case of them having far too good a time making the damn thing, leaving us with the crumbs. Anyways. If you remotely enjoy watching Tom Riley do anything, this one is for you !
