Geeze man....grow a pair. There is no way, NO WAY, in hell I could sleep next to a beautiful girl like that every night and keep my sanity. Especially if I had genuine feelings for her.
She gets in late, crawls into bed in just her bra and panties, and talks about a nice guy she met?
That is torture. I don't know how he didn't lose his mind.

No wonder he was in the friend zone, as a viewer I thought he was gay half the time.
When he goes out partying with the gay guy it was clear to me that either both or them were sexually interested in each other or the gay guy was interest in Andrew and he was just clueless and a moron.

He wasn't gay. He was single-mindedly obsessed with one girl, but not man enough to tell her, or for her to be into him "that" way in the first place. He could have gotten, and made other girls happy. They just wouldn't have been of the sexpot calibre of Angelina. (Haven't we all had our lovelorn pipe dreams?)
It was a strange movie, in that there weren't really any bad guys, except for the stepfather, who was more of a vague and passing stereotype than an actual character. Basically, everyone was flawed. Fine, but are we supposed to be happy for Angelina in the end? She abandoned her sister to a monster for years of abuse, just so she could escape and make good money having sex on film, and seeking out first a sugar daddy... then a sugar mommy?
In my view, it's a protagonistless film. (Yeah, I just coined that word.) I just didn't know it until the very end.
The protagonist left home at age 18 and entered the porn industry, what do you expect her to do to safe her even younger little sister? And how would it helped either of them to stay at home?
It would have been for the state to intervene to offer the kids a solution to a better life.
I think the step father came across so one-dimensional because we only perceived him from the viewpoint of the protagonist.
And yea about Andrew, Angela was really blind or in denial about his feelings. But I've been there so naive that it never crossed my mind that he, the guy, I was just enjoying spending time with thinking we were flirting. Never crossed my mind. He really should have told her about his feelings instead of pretending to be uninterested.
I really liked the ending, I still wondering if she just pretended to be in love ... or if she really found the stability she was always looking for behind the camera together with her partner. It's an isolating business, was it a healthy choice for her to keep working there, obviously she didn't want to live the 'normal, boring life'
fascinating story
I waited for him to say something like, "Yes, I'm sexually attracted to you. I have been so for some time. You weren't supposed to find that I jerk off to you, but you did. Now if you put that suitcase down, I could suggest some better scenarios to film you in than the ultra-cheesy classic porn ones this company keeps doing with you."
shareHow could he be from Long Beach and be such a Shadowboxer!? Come on man make a move and find out instead of always riding in the back seat? He comes home from hangin' out at a sausage club then she puts her hand right by his crotch and he makes Zero Move = Shadowboxer. Also,why did she feel the need to go fron LB to San Fran when Van Nuys,the Capitol of Pr0n is just up the road? A lot of this movie made no sense.
