Overview

18-year-old Angelina shuffles between school, a dead-end job, her exploitative boyfriend, and home, where her life consists of cleaning up after her alcoholic mother and protecting her younger sister from their menacing stepfather. After arranging an escape to San Francisco with her best friend Andrew, she soon finds herself dating a coke-addicted attorney and becoming immersed in the local porn industry, mentored by lesbian director Margaret, who has more than just a professional interest in Angelina's talents.

An OK script that is marred by bad acting and completely lackluster camera work. I feel like I need to blame James Franco yet again. Yes, I think I will. "It is entirely James Franco's fault that this movie sucks."
