Wit
Amazon.com: Anyone who fantasizes about becoming a porn star should see Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy, a cheerful documentary that paints a sympathetic but clear-eyed portrait of the most successful male porn star of all time. Through remarkably frank interviews with the man himself and a variety of friends and associates (including actresses, rival actors, and directors; porn moguls like Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein; and, most surprisingly, Jeremy's own family), Ron Jeremy emerges as a likeable but self-obsessed guy whose insatiable drive for fame and success is also a struggle to overcome loneliness and a lack of self-worth. Not that anyone's going to feel too sorry for a man who gets paid to have sex, but Jeremy's honesty and sense of humor deserve some respect. And despite all the flesh on display, Porn Star is more matter-of-fact than titillating, taking in its subject with a sociological distance. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - Get Over It, Dude
The Hedgehog. He gives the rest of us average Joes hope for the future. I mean, if this guy can get action, who can't? This documentary about one of the adult world's 'biggest' male stars should have been really something. It wasn't.
Ron Jeremy is simply too stuck on the fact that his calling in this world just isn't given the level of respect he would like. As a result, Jeremy has to remind us over and over again about the miniscule appearances he has made in non-adult roles. One episode of some TV show, in which Jeremy appears for a grand total of about two seconds, is commented ... Read More
Rating: - A look at a man that somehow has become a cult american Icon.
Most mainsteam americans have at least heard the name Ron Jeremy, and many of those will admit to seeing his work...and the rest are lying. An unlikely icon he is. A masters education in special educations, average looks (to start), also a decent actor, and he makes his name in Pornographic films. To top it off, as his career went on, he gets hairier and fatter, yet the work keeps coming in. Luckily for him despite the odds, he came "equipted" for the job from birth. This film is a quick glimps inside his life. He the man most guys wishes they could be, a great representation of an average american ... Read More
Rating: - Humanizing a Legend
I've seen Ron Jeremey in porn since his waist was 32 inches. Starting with Suzy Superstar in the late 70's where he was studly to today's performances that aside from his phenomenal penile performances, usually amount to freak shows.
I have to say it does appeal to my purient interest to see a 50 something guy, with a 40+ waist putting it to a young 20 year old. Reminds me of the story of Grendel and Beuwolf. Jeremy being the hairy Troll of course.
Don't get me wrong, I have the same body hair and underwent the same metamorphosis as Jeremy, but thankfully my waist has stabized ... Read More
Rating: - The Woody Allen of Porn ???
This film is unbelievable...
For many, Ron Jeremy is the ultimately identifiable yet most unlikely male porn star... after watching this film you'll be even more amazed as he's so... neurotic and Jewish.
The film offers a behind the scenes look at not only the porn industry, but Ron Jeremy himself... who despite being a superstar seems more like a guy who just wants to be accepted and loved (especially by the mainstream film industry who will barely give him a part now and then in a small flasher film.) - - I dare say that some of the scenes in this film will stick with you a long ...

Rating: - Should have been a lot more
Ron Jeremy is one of, if not the least, likely people to be a porn star. Ron is dying to break into mainstream movies. Ron is just your average, nice guy.
Throughout the film these three facts are somewhat repeated ENDLESSLY but through various friends, family, admirers and co-workers.
Its an entertaining, but short documentary that barely scratches the surface of what people really want to know about the world of porn. We learn all about Ron's amazing "talents" and his former loves...but the rest of the DVD is Ron trying to understand why no one from Hollywood will hire him.Yea, the ... Read More
