Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This film is about a young man being captivated by a gay porn star. He seeks employment in the studio of this star to be close to him. Things get out of control when their feelings get increasingly enmeshed."The Fluffer" is story based, with a engaging plot. Though it can be seen it has a somewhat (but not very) low budget, it is still visually attractive and presented. I like the way how Johnny Rebel becomes unsure of himself, and the tension between him and Sean. The relationship between the two changes throughout the film, and it is well presented. The ending is satisfying yet empty at the same time. I would have loved it to end happier.

I wanted to see the movie because of an article in a film magazine. It wasn't a highly recommended one by the critic. The storyline is different and I am sure that it could have been a good movie if it was in right hands. Directing and acting were awful!! I had the feeling of watching a movie which was made a bunch of amateurs. Although the movie started promisingly, it got worse and worse. I think this is an unoriginal movie with awkward characters.. I still think that it is worth watching as I haven't seen films subjecting gay porn. Don't keep your expectations high though,then you will be very disappointed. * out of *****

This movie sucks .... You fill in the blanks. A rant.First off, who gives a flying rats butt about the personal and psychological development of porn stars. People watch adult movies for only one reason.Most people would not care if the adult stars died tomorrow. Porn stars don't have anything good to say so they should never talk. End of rant.This movie is of pure superficial hogwash. So apparently, as a gay person, they only thing there is in life is to become a complete alcoholic and be obsessed with athletic beef guys who possess a 10year old mentality. Hogwash.The adult industry deserves no more respect than what its very basis in details. Period.

I just recently saw "the Fluffer" this weekend. I'd read many positive reviews of the film but came to gather a different feeling from watching it. Most movies with the words "coming of age story" on the back are usually hints that the lead character will go through many situations and we'll see them develope into their "new self" by the end. However, by the end of this movie i didn't feel like i knew anything more about the main character Sean. The movie starts off well, as we see Sean become more and more obsessed with gay-for-pay porn star Johnny Rebel, but somewhere in the near middle it begins to spiral into too many directions. I had a hard time figuring out who was the main character after a while, Johnny or Sean?Writer Wash West(moreland), better known for adult titles, begins to lose track also. It's not a bad debut for an adult writer and those of us who have been through the same situation as Sean will see a good portrayal of how it feels to love someone who doesn't love you back. The main problem is that Sean is as ambiguous of a character as Rebel, and it soon seems that his whole problem is in him and not his situation with Johnny. If this film was about that, it would be great...but it's not. The character depth and film direction is lacking, just as how commonly it lacks in adult films,which is a kind of an ironic trait to the film.Bottom line: performances are very good, the movie is entertaining but the writing lacks some direction. If it were an actual adult film, it would be the most dramatic one i've ever seen.
