smatysia A sort of small story about a young woman who (voluntarily) goes into the porn business. Some commentators seem to think that it doesn't present the business in a sufficiently bad light. While I do not know personally, I would imagine that there are varying levels of sleaziness in that milieu. The star, Ashley Hinshaw, is lovely, and performs very well, bringing out nuances in her character. James Franco's character is not well fleshed-out, but is basically a train wreck. Almost stealing the show is Heather Graham in a medium-small part as a producer. Kudos to Megan Boone in a small part as a producer's assistant and Momo Juniper Hurley in a smaller part as a model. I did like the film overall.

Claudio Carvalho The eighteen year-old Angeline (Ashley Hinshaw) raises money with a session of naked pictures and leaves her alcoholic and dysfunctional parents fleeing to San Francisco with her friend Andrew (Dev Patel). They rent a room in the apartment of the gay Paco (Vincent Palo) and Angeline finds a job in a strip club and Andrew in a bookstore. Soon Angeline has a love affair with the drug-addicted lawyer Frances (James Franco) and joins the adult industry making porn. Meanwhile the lesbian director Margaret (Heather Graham) becomes obsessed on her."About Cherry" is a movie with a pointless story of a shallow teenager without moral principles that leaves her alcoholic parents to become a porn-star. The characters are poorly developed and most of them are unlikable. Angeline is actually a bisexual teenager without any moral principle and maybe nymphomaniac. The situations are also shallow and the movie is neither a drama or romance nor a soft-porn. The only thing that worths is the beauty of the lead actress. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Doce Tentação"

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young woman who enters the pornographic industry to make ends meet.The lead actress, Ashley Hinshaw, is very beautiful and sweet. She is surely the girl of many guys' dream. It is quite a pity that her character has to do whatever it takes to make ends meet. Her life has no sugar coating, her family is dysfunctional, while the boyfriend is a drug addict. How she manages to keep sane is quite impressive.Though there are lots happening in the story, it is not that intriguing and is not enough to pique my interest. To me, "About Cherry" looks more like glamourised porn rather than a film about a young woman's tough journey.

uniquedjj About Cherry. This is a drama about a young student who gets into the porno industry. Starring Ashley Hinshaw (eye candy) and co starring James Franco. The film has a mellow drama anti climatic feel to it. Which is strange considering the subject matter. Great cast which includes Heather Graham and Dev Patel who are not even in leading roles but overall this movie lacks the edge it needs to really grab your attention. I even wanted to skip through most of it but I sat there and watched so I could give a justified review.Think of it as an extremely toned down version to Mark Whalberg's Boogie Nights.Despite the sparkling cast avoid this so you are not disappointed.3/10 is fair
