    The film's most consistently entertaining element is Berkowitz's backer, a shady character named Elie Samaha who never appears on camera. Samaha's expletive-laden harangues, in which he orders Berkowitz to beef up the movie's T&A factor, are priceless.

    The movie's best observations come from its sinister, unseen producer, who sneers at Berkowitz, "You're making a cartoon piece of shit . . . that ends with you jerking off by yourself."

    It must be said that Berkowitz's shamelessness and persistence aren't inevitably irresistible.

    I wouldn't exactly call it entertainment; I found myself wanting to apologize on behalf of obnoxious heterosexual Jewish men the world over.

    The film has the obnoxious tone of a boring home movie narrated by a guy shouting in your ear.

    One of the downsides of living in a free society is that every so often someone like Myles Berkowitz gets hold of a camera.
