This movie caught my eye while I was searching Netflix for something interesting to watch on a Saturday night.
People who have never seen one second of a porno movie know the name Linda Lovelace. Before watching this movie I'd never seen "Deep Throat" (still haven't) and yet even though I didn't really know what the real Linda actually looked like, when I recognized Amanda Seyfried as the lead/title actress, I went huh?
As so many other reviewers have stated, Amanda is way too pretty and innocent looking for the role. For this reason, possibly the story focuses more on the emotional aspects of the trauma Linda Lovelace faced through her relationship with Chuck Traynor and dealing with the realities of becoming so famous for something as dubious as appearing in "Deep Throat."
Had they used a different actress with harder edges, like Lindsay Lohan, the movie may have veered toward the grittier aspects of the 70s porn industry, but with Amanda Seyfried in the role the producers managed to make even a scene showing the filming of one of the "Deep Throat" scenes seem sanitized, in other words, "Lifetimed- up."
Sharon Stone appears, unrecognize-ably as a brunette in the role of Linda's mother. Some of the movies best scenes occur between the mother and daughter, before and after her life-changing career choice. Hank Azaria also stands out as one of the producers of Linda Lovelace's most famous movie as he projects the right amount of tacky, '70s style smarmy charm.
In the hands of a different director, like Quentin Tarantino, this would have been a way-different movie and would have had an NC-17 rating and would have showcased at least one scene of Linda Lovelace showing her signature talent. As it is, "Lovelace" is a movie that's almost tame enough to be shown on broadcast television. It still manages to be interesting though.
