Paper-thin Savanna Samson vehicle rings false

Paul Thomas made a clunker here, generally forgotten, titled "More Than Sweet Hearts", trying to show a backstage angle on porn filmmaking but utterly phony and unbelievable. It's Old School porn with poor continuity and a corny script by usually reliable Raven Touchstone.

Basically, we have a fantasy version of the Adult Industry, in which Dino Bravo is a stereotypical bad-guy producer named Benny 'Fuckin' Ackerman, willing to pay superstar Krystal (played by Samson) $150,000 to shoot the final scene of her unfinished XXX picture. Everyone nowadays keeps harping on inflation, inflation, inflation, but the unintended joke here is that the astronomical dollar figure mentioned is about one hundred times what she'd be paid today, given the demise of the traditional porn industry.

The central romances are Krystal in love with Rocky (big-dicked Lee Stone), while still married to Dale DaBone, who is in love with Michelle (Dru Berrymore), who is Krystal's best friend and go-fer. Touchstone's screenplay resembles a bad rom-com, without the com, as that big scene requires Dale and Samson to have sex on camera one last time to finish their big movie, with the porno press corps (lots of extras on screen) watching the shoot.

DaBone can't get it up for his big scene, embarrassing, but an excuse for the movie to completely fall apart in the last reels, as we're treated to random sex scenes, including a completely extraneous one of Bravo, cameraman Eric Price and Lezley Zen (Krystal's manager) in an unlikely threesome and then poor scenes of Dale humping Dru and Stone humping Samson. Movie's ending is awful, with Dru suddenly becoming the central character.

It's unintended, but this stinker sat on the shelf for well over a year, and is the production mess sadly resembling the fictional movie they're attempting to complete.
