I rented this from my local video store under the impression it was a different movie I've been hearing about, listed at IMDB as "The Pornographer: A Love Story (2000)" http://us.imdb.com/Details?0246157 . O fortunate fault, this was quite a good piece of work. I agree with the earlier comment which compared this favorably to "Boogie Nights".
Among the actors, I was particularly impressed by Katheryn Cain and by veteran Craig Wasson. His was a rather familiar face, though I hadn't previously really noted his name, as I will now. (I thought he looked like Bill Maher, and was thus briefly intrigued to see a Maher listed in the long list of "special thanks" credits.)
I guess it's unlikely that in 1999 Kimberly Williams (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Williams,+Kimberly+(I)) would still have been doing a nearly invisible bit part in an indie production, but I thought that was her as the new hire Paul is introduced to in the first law firm scene.
