Editorial Review:
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

4 out of 5 stars A look at a man that somehow has become a cult american Icon........2007-02-16

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 man, and as the film says, give anybody hope to go out with anybody, and that is his ticket to stardom. enjoyable film, check it out.

4 out of 5 stars Humanizing a Legend.......2006-12-06

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 at +- 36. LOL. But I do look in the mirror and wonder at how the stud I once was has disappeared beneath the sweater of back and shoulder hair.

Ron Jeremy has always been a hero of mine. I fell in love with his performances, one in particular in "Snatchbuckler!"where he played a Captain Jack pirate character, Shadbelly, long before Johnny Depp began acting. His dialog was a plethora or ARRGGs! and creative salty langurage, as he gleefully impaled many a british lady prisoner on his massive "rudder post". Great stuff.

This movie, while humanizing Jeremy, also shows his emotional frailty, and other things, like his apparent narcolepsy. It hardly endeared him ot me to watch as he drove recklessly down the highway and shoulder while fighting to stay awake. I'm glad I don't live and drive in L.A.
That aside, the movie is a hoot. I plan to purchase the uncut, unrated version just for the titillating scenes of Jeremy with the latest female porn flavors of the day.
There will be no other Jeremy's simply because he is probably the only one that doesn't drink or do drugs. North and Byron may join him on the pedestal eventually, but Jeremy will be on the top step.

5 out of 5 stars The Woody Allen of Porn ???.......2006-05-17

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 time - - and you'll definitely never look at a dirty movie the same way as before !

3 out of 5 stars Should have been a lot more.......2005-12-18

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 AIDS test is scary....and should be....but that's really all there is on the serious side. The rest is Ron being a class clown. Fun and entertaining to watch...but what ISN'T said would be a heck of a lot more interesting.

3 out of 5 stars Skin Deep.......2005-12-18

Ron Jeremy was not always the fat, slightly slovenly looking man he is today. When he entered the pornography business in the late 1970s he was reasonably if not uniquely attractive, determined to make a name for himself on stage and screen as a serious actor, and he saw pornography as a way to pay the bills and make contacts in the film industry.

The idea was not quite as far-out as it might seem. At the time, pornography was a big screen venue and films came with plots, dialogue, and reasonable budgets. As it happened, Jeremy had what it took to be a porn star and then some: a nine and three-quarters inch endowment and the amazing ability to control it on cue. But he failed to recognize a well-established show business fact that not even such legendary (and comparatively discreet) performers as Gypsy Rose Lee could overcome. Once a stripper, always a stripper. Once a porn star, always a porn star.

Twenty years after he made his adult film debut Ron Jeremy is still a porn star, only these days he is a chunky, sloppy one who commands a following largely due to his unlikely appearance and quasi-comic persona and who continues the career thanks to that near-inhuman control. And even as he takes a monthly AIDS test, scrambles for extra and bit work in mainstream film, and makes one porn flick after another he continues to dream of a "legitimate" acting career that will never come.

In theory, it is the stuff of both great comedy and great tragedy, but this fairly short documentary is neither; it has a touch of pathos, a touch of humor, but it never goes far enough in its exploration of Jeremy as a human being. I did laugh a little and I did feel a bit sorry for him, but the big questions were never asked and the big issues were never more than indicated. In the end, I feel like I met Jeremy at a party in passing--and when he left the room I knew little more about him than I did when he first came in.
