A great comedy about how NOT to make a movie..., 23 April 2008
8/10
Author: John Turley from Los Angeles, California

Blue Movies is a low-budget yet extremely well-made comedy about two guys in their late 20s, "Buzz" and "Cliff" (played by Steve Levitt and Larry Poindexter, respectively) who are both broke and unemployed. They hatch a scheme to make a porno movie, and expect the profits from this effort to eliminate their financial problems.

Of course, they need some funding up front. They ask their ultra sleazy friend "Dr. Gladding" (played by Larry Linville) to put up the cash. They are otherwise clueless when it comes to writing, camera work, and directing.

A special treat in this movie is how a local gangster, "Mr. Martin" (played by Russell Johnson), learns about their endeavor and tries to get a piece of the action. Russell Johnson is surprisingly convincing as the bad guy.

This is a funny movie and well worth watching. Sadly, it is not easy to come by. Do not be deterred by the title; this is not a porno movie. It is comedy about two incompetent guys trying to make a porno movie. There are only a few moments of actual nudity.

The locations for this movie were all in West Los Angeles, with particular emphasis on Venice Beach.
