When my neighbor asked me to come over to see a movie last week, he said "This is a film you're not likely to see made twice". Thank God, because this film was far from anything I would want to see.

First, I'm no prude and have no problem with nudity in films, though I prefer it not to be gratuitis. This film wasn't even about nudity it was pornographic, (I'd even venture to say pedophilic) on so many levels.

**SPOILERS** The story itself was nonsensical and convuluted, with unbelievable characters in completely bogus situations. **SPOILERS** the young man who's having regular sex with a mother and daughter (the mother I might add who looks more like a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader than a mom), the father who waits until his son is 17 years old to attempt to molest him? How about the father who walks in on his daughter and boyfriend (teens into bondage..oh yeah that's believable) beats this guy, then performs some bizarre marriage between himself and his daughter?? I'm not even going to touch the "all day" threesome.

OK nudity is one thing, but was it absolutely necessary to constantly close up on these guys erections? or the "fingering" scene with the girl and the scene of scenes... why was it necessary to not only show the entire masturbation scene, but also the kid ejaculating? I actually got a bit sick in the stomach, not at what happened but that a grown man would put this on film and attempt to show this to a wide audience.

For all the chatter about the "artsiness" of this film, it wasn't art it was medium level porn with actors/actresses that some looked to be not even of legal age. This was a film about voyuerism plain and simple.

My neighbor was right, this was definitely a movie that comes around only once, and I hope never again.
