5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Look at A Complex Man, April 24, 2000

By	Joseph J. Finn (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Love him or hate him (and does anyone really love him?), Larry Flynt has been a lightning rod for 1st amendment issues over the past few decades. This brilliant script looks at the complexities of a man who chose willingly to go into pornographic magazines, and who almost fell into being a free speech advocate. Certainly a difficult man to like or even respect, but certainly worth throwing some gratitude for doing that which other couldn't or wouldn't.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's an OK movie, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This movie can relate to the different tastes of people. For example one person might hate it, but then another person might love it. Movie about Larry Flint's (founder of Hustler magazine) life where he gets in and out of trouble. This movie shows that you can do something if you struggle and don't give up. Rated R: for graphic language, nudity and sexuality.
