Over a decade ago, writer Ayn Carrillo-Gailey embarked on a quest to prove an ex-boyfriend wrong. She rolled out a list of lusty to-dos to show that she was not, as he had pronounced her to be, “pornphobic.” The result was the amusing (and enlightening) memoir “Pornology,” which has now spawned its own sanitized, if sweet rom-com movie adaptation. It’s a cute idea for a movie, the kind that follows a charming lead as they stumble their way into physical pleasure and other forms of personal enlightenment.
Filmmaking brothers Chris and Nick Riedell might not be breaking any new ground with their “A Nice Girl Like You,” but the duo at least had the foresight to cast Lucy Hale as Carrillo-Gailey’s movie stand-in, a straight-laced classical violinist who isn’t so much afraid of sex as she is unsure of how to make it work for her.

"I made a 'sex to-do list.'" Vertical Entertainment has unveiled the official trailer for a spunky sex comedy titled A Nice Girl Like You, adapted from the book titled "Pornology" by Ayn Carrillo. This stars Lucy Hale as a Harvard grad who is dumped by her boyfriend for being too "pornophobic." The film follows her hilarious explorations facing her sexual fears after she decides to learn about all she hasn't yet experienced. Also stars Mindy Cohn, Leonidas Gulaptis, Adhir Kalyan, Stephen Friedrich, Skye P. Marshall, Leah McKendrick, Jina Panebianco, Nadia Quinn, and Jackie Cruz. It is way too easy to cast an extremely attractive man opposite an extremely attractive woman and make it all seem like their connection is something oh so special. Plus this looks surprisingly tame for a film about sexual exploration... Go figure. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Chris & Nick Riedell's A Nice Girl Like You,...
