Storyline

A car dealer who needs to raise money by the end of the month to stay in business, so he rents out the back of his dealership to a movie company, not knowing that the movie is a porn. That revelation comes at the most inopportune time, as the dealership is holding a big family day and the porn spills out onto the event. A variety of quirky characters make up the dealership sales staff, which complicates the efforts of the beautiful marketing expert who arrives to help generate sales, and ends up finding a mutual romantic interest with the dealership owner.

So I watched this with a friend the other night. He said it was going to show me the dumbest movie ever. Turned out I liked it. Now with that said I think I judged it more on, it was so stupid it was funny. Like Porky's (but not as good) and retarded like police academy. So right off the Bat you can tell this movie is something independent and I don't mean independent like from a studio, but independent like far away from people who might know how to make a movie (professionals). So I judged it like that and began to enjoy it once I got past the banker scene (There should have been a bank). I think he is supposed to be a banker? Anyway the acting was good for what appeared to be local actors in your home town, So the Director did okay there but failed when it came to camera movement and production design. Take the camera off the tripod! My biggest complaint was production design. This whole movie failed when it came to production design. I could do better production design than this. Who ever hired your production designer, should never do the hiring for any movie again!! Buy this movie and you will regret it. Watch it for free and you might enjoy their attempt at making a film. I rate it a Hollywood 4 but an indie comedy 6.
