Amazon.co.uk Review
South Park co-creator Trey Parker goes straight for the gross-out humour in this live-action farce set in the adult-movie industry. Parker stars as an innocent Mormon kid who gets sucked into the world of pornographic film-making and becomes an international sensation as the stud superhero Orgazmo, all the while hiding his secret life from his milk-fed fiancée. It's practically a one-man show for Parker, who directs, writes, stars, and even performs the self-penned theme song as frontman for his rock band, and perhaps he should have spread the responsibilities a little. As an actor he's surprisingly appealing--his dazed grin and bleached white surfer-dude hair give him an engaging air of innocence. Paired with long-time crony Dian Bachar, the diminutive actor who plays his superhero sidekick Chodo Boy, they bring a Hardy Boys naiveté to the rude world of mobbed-up producers and jaded adult film stars. But the film is only fitfully funny, with vulgar jokes that are often more disgusting than humorous and clumsy comic timing sabotaging promising scenes. Only rarely does it reach the heights of his hilarious cut-out cartoon series South Park, but when he delivers he does so with the carefully cultivated tasteless excess his fans have come to know and love. Matt Stone co-stars as a clueless photographer while the real-life adult film star Ron Jeremy appears as a gross gangster henchman. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Synopsis
SOUTH PARK creator Trey Parker stars as Joe Young, a Mormon missionary in Los Angeles who stumbles into the porn industry, where he's offered the part of sexual superhero Orgazmo. Joe stays so that he can raise enough money to marry his sweetheart, Lisa, but complications ensue when Orgazmo turns out to be a hit and Lisa discovers the hidden truth. A wacky farce for juvenile adults.

Customer Reviews

And now the female perspective
Trey Parker in a tight body suit thing.... BIG SMILE! hehe. No seriously though, this film is FANTASTIC! It's really funny and not really pornographic at all. Sorry lads!

Joe Young is a young mormon trying to find a way to get enough money to fund his wedding to his fiancee and, while doing some door to door evangelism, stumbles across a porno set, in full swing. Joe gets spotted by the director and invited to join the movie. That's when things start to get crazy.

Parker plays the straight character to perfection, and you can't help but love Joe. "Jesus!" "Where?" will be your cry after you watch this. Anyway, sit back and watch the movie and prepare to have a good giggle. I wouldn't call this the "laugh out loud" humour of Parker's other work (Cannibal! the Musical, South Park), but it is a good laugh, along the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back veign.

Does this come on DVDA?
Trey Parker and Matt Stone. You either love them or you hate them. Back when South Park was just a few bits of cardboard lying around a bong-filled apartment, the guys paid the bills by making this movie. And it's pure comic genius! With sight gags and one-liners everywhere, this movie demands repeated viewing, and soon you'll be quoting classic lines such as "I am Sancho", "I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin', but I think Depeche Mode are a sweet band" and "Stuntcock!" in your sleep.
The movie follows Joe Young (Trey Parker), a young Mormon missionary to L.A., who becomes [pulled] into the porn industry one sunny afternoon while out trying to convert the heathens. He justifies this career change, as the money he earns will go toward a wedding in the Temple in Salt Lake with his "Cupcake" ("Why does the church make it so expensive to get married in the Temple?"). Hilarity ensues as a cast of pornographers (including cameos from real life skin-stars such as Ron Jeremy and Chasey Lain), racketeers and rocket scientists combine to make the movie-within-a-movie (also called Orgazmo) "the cross-over success of the decade!" (a jump cut reveals it to be the highest grossing film of all time behind Jurassic Park). But can Joe extricate himself from the sequel he's under contract to make? Will Choda-boy ever use his "hamster style" again? How can they defeat the evil A-cup/Neutered Man? Will G-fresh sign over his sushi bar to developers? And what will happen when Cupcake rolls into town? I guess you'll just have to watch it to find out...
This film is criminally under-appreciated, and hopefully, with the success of South Park, more people will be encouraged to discover the delights of the Parker/Stone back catalogue. If you're a fan of South Park, Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker or the Farrely brothers, I promise you will not be disappointed. "Oh, wait..Daddy's here to take me to choir practise. Jesus and I love you..."

Please Watch This Film!
You have to see this film! It may be very crude at times but it is absolutely hilarious!

Made by the duo behind 'South Park', it is equally as good as that cartoon series.

Set in the porn industry, a deeply religious young man decides to appear, very reluctantly, in a film to save some money to marry his equally religious fiance. Needless to say he is horrified at what he encounters, much to the viewers joy!

The acting is surprisingly great, the humour is both childish and crude but i cannot recommend this film enough!
