Storyline

- TriviaCarla Gugino's only nude scene in the film comes at a crucial dramatic moment when Elektra has a vision of the Virgin Mary (played by Julianne Moore) while in the bathtub."We wanted her to be much more like a little girl," says Gugino of the sequence. "We wanted her to be stripped of any of the kind of attachments, because you see all the fake porn stuff that we do in the movie. That's obviously more kind of lascivious - and humorous, too - but physically it's very non-revealing. She needed to be bare of the classic look of the porn star - I just wanted her at some point to be unencumbered by the fake lashes, sort of stripped down so that she could have this moment where she breaks down, where she's really kind of starting over for real. So it was really intentional."

Holly Rocket: I'm afraid of ponies. But I am wet with indecent happiness for you.
- Crazy creditsCelia, Elektra's twin sister appears in credits as played by Taryn Gugino but it is really played by Carla Gugino. Carla doesn't have any twin sister.

Featured review
Bert Rodriguez (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a fast-talking self-styled porn commentator reporting on 90s porn star Elektra Luxx (Carla Gugino) from his mother's basement. She is famous for a porn with herself as twins but she actually has a twin in prison for real. She is pregnant and out of the business. She's teaching sex class in the community center. Cora (Marley Shelton) admits killing her baby daddy Nick while having sex with him. Cora gives her songs written by Nick about her. In return, Cora wants her to seduce her fiancée Ben (Justin Kirk) to even the score. She tries to accommodate but he wrongly mistakes robber Dellwood Butterworth (Timothy Olyphant) for him. Holly Rocket (Adrianne Palicki) is a former porn partner who is in love with her best friend Bambi Lindberg (Emmanuelle Chriqui).
This is the sequel to 'Women in Trouble'. It tries to be campy with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It tries to be an irreverent take on porn. I'm willing to go with this weirdness for another Sebastian Gutierrez episode. However it becomes rambling messy story. It has no flow. Its quirkiness is not actually funny. The first movie has a certain charm which this one seems to struggle to maintain. I still like Adrianne Palicki and Emmanuelle Chriqui together. Carla Gugino starts out fine but goes downhill. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is too broad and I grow to hate his part of the movie.
