Watch My Dad Wrote a Porno

My Dad Wrote a Porno is a 2019 comedy film that has been adapted from a popular podcast of the same name. The film stars Alice Levine, Jamie Morton, and James Cooper, who all play themselves. Produced by Renee O'Connor, the movie premiered at the South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival in Austin, Texas on 11 March 2019. The movie revolves around the fictional memoir 'Belinda Blinked' which is written by Jamie's father, Rocky Flintstone. The memoir revolves around the life of Belinda Blumenthal, a saleswoman at a pots and pans company that faces some bizarre situations every time she visits a client of hers. While Jamie, the son is still in disbelief at the existence of such a book written by his father, Alice provides a much-needed perspective to their publishing venture. James Cooper serves as the voice of the audience, reflecting on the premise of the book and the questionable prose.

The storyline follows the trio as they embark on a quest to turn this saucy, borderline-erotic novel into a movie, with all its heart-stopping twists and turns. As they embark on this journey, every scene is filled with silly and sometimes cringeworthy moments that capture the essence of how the absurd nature of the book translates on to the screen.

One of the most amusing parts of the film is how the 'Belinda Blinked' book is brought to life, thanks to the movie's creative team. The editing and art direction of the film are fantastic, and the use of animation throughout the movie is hilarious. Small animations, cartoons, and comical illustrations provide fun visuals during dialogue-heavy scenes, and they help amplify the humor in the story. The satirical take on the publishing industry is also a subplot that provides plenty of humor - from the focus group reactions to Rocky Flintstone himself (who remains blissfully unaware of the book's less-than-stellar reception among readers).

The performances of the three main characters are brilliant, with each of them bringing a unique dynamic to the film. Alice Levine provides excellent comic relief, as she calmly navigates through the ridiculousness of the 'Belinda Blinked' saga. Jamie Morton, as both the author and protagonist, presents an internal conflict while coming to terms with the fact that the book was written by his father. James Cooper, meanwhile, represents the common viewer's point of view, quizzically observing the bizarre story of Belinda, all while trying to reconcile the fact that it was written by a dad.

Overall, My Dad Wrote a Porno is a hilarious and clever adaptation of the popular podcast. The film's success is due in large part to the perfect blend of comedy, satire, and a unique sense of self-awareness. The humor is somewhat extravagant at times, but that's exactly what makes it so entertaining. It is a modern interpretation of a classic British farce, with unabashedly over-the-top humor and an overall tone that is equal parts absurd and genuinely funny. Without any doubt, it is a great recommendation for anyone looking for a lighthearted and witty movie to watch.

My Dad Wrote a Porno is a 2019 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.2.
