Movie Review: Porn Star Pets
When we received a copy of Margie Schnibbe's "Porn Star Pets" we threw it in the soon-to-have-its-own-gravitational-pull pile of porn sitting in our office. Dismissing it as nothing more than a stroke flick with an awful name, we doomed the movie to commingle with the likes of "5 Guy Cream Pie" and "Cheerleaders Crave Cock".
For some reason—call it kismet—the movie finally made its way into our DVD player and we quickly realized that it wasn't porn at all. It was actually a documentary about adult stars and their pets.
Released in 2005 by Brink Films, "Porn Star Pets" is a refreshing look at the private lives of some of the industry's most notable pornstars. Instead of the traditional behind-the-scenes included with many of today's porn releases, we're given an honest glimpse into a relationship that can be more powerful and meaningful than one between two humans. According to a recent study by the American Animal Hospital Association, "More than half of all pet owners stated they would want their pet instead of another person with them if they were stranded on a desert island."
You may find it hard to believe, but porn stars are no different.
We don't want to spoil the movie for those who have yet to see it, so we'll offer some highlights:
- Buddy, one of Taylor Wayne's dogs, lives on shrimp. "Curried shrimp, Cajun shrimp," she says, channeling Bubba, "anything spicy."
- Lena Ramon names all 37 of her pets without missing a beat.
- Melissa Monet's dog has an unfortunate allergy to grass.
- Mr. Marcus talks about his little 10 pounder, "This dog's got more shit than me."
Throughout the film, interviews with industry heavies like Ron Jeremy, Taylor Wayne, Bill Margold and Mr. Marcus do an exceptional job demonstrating the unconditional bond between (wo)man and beast. Shot by John Gulagar (of Bravo's Project Greenlight fame) the film's already brief running time—52 minutes—seems even shorter due to the great pacing. Thankfully, the DVD includes tons of bonus footage, a photo slide show and even a commentary track by Mr. Jeremy and his roommate Natalie.
