As Porn Star makes clear, for all the sex and parties, very little in Ron Jeremy's life is either sexy or fun.

It's a bizarre, informative, and, above all, comical take on one of the most recognizable and enduring performers in show business.

Audience Reviews for Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy

Oct 05, 2012Ron Jeremy is an icon in the Adult film industry. This documentary tells his story and with a string of interviews from his peers to fans of his work, we get an in depth look at the Hedgehog. The documentary is interesting, but is a bit too short considering its subject. For what it is, this film will surely appeal to fans of Ron Jeremy, but for the typical viewer like me, it's really a mixed bag. The film manages to be insightful, but leaves a lot to desired. Director Scott J. Gill explores the man and how an average looking guy became one of the biggest icons of the Adult industry. It's entertaining for what it is, but it's nothing remarkable and memorable in the long run. Also the film shows the ugly side of the industry, the sleaziness of it all. However Ron Jeremy despite his choice of career is well educated, and when you see him in interviews you he's a much more thorough speaker than your standard actor in that business. The guy is smart for sure, and unlike most of the actors in the bizz he comes from a good background. This documentary has multiple interviews, scenes from his greatest films and his tells the story of his rise in adult films. However it could have been better and it just an average documentary in the long run. Despite the flaws, fans of Ron Jeremy should check this title out, and will most likely enjoy it. But as a whole it could have been much better than what it turned out to be.Alex r Super Reviewer

Jan 21, 2011Ron Jeremy is widely recognized, well-hung, tightfisted with money and still unmarried. He has sex on camera, loves food, gets monthly AIDS tests, has a supportive Jewish family, craves mainstream success, travels a lot and has the craziest phone book you've ever seen. Got it? This documentary tries a little too hard to be light and fun, when there is plenty of edgier material that could have been explored. For a documentary about a veteran porn actor, the film is strangely unprovocative. The most useful things I took away were the slang meaning of "woodsman" and my discovery that Ron has a Masters degree in special education. I saw him outside the Hustler store on Sunset Boulevard once...if I had known he loved attention so much, I might have said hello.Eric B Super Reviewer
