I Want Candy

  

I Want Candy is not the best sex comedy out there but it's not the worst either. It's a British comedy film about two filmmakers still in school who are told that their end of year project must be a short film and not their feature length film they've been working on. So in order to get their film made, Joe the producer of the two sets out to get their film funded and ends up making a deal with a pornography company headed up by gangsters. However there is a catch. The only way their film is funded is that Candy Five-Ways, who is a big pornography star must star in their film. Comedy ensues as the two guys try to make a new type of pornography that's artistic and they talk Candy into working with them making their film at Joe's parent's house while their away at work.

Overall, it's an okay film but nothing that I would necessarily see again. Truth be told the only reason I watched it was because Jimmy Carr has a cameo in it and as an added bonus Miranda Hart also briefly appears. Of the other films that also deals with this similar plot line this one stands out because of the cameos of Carr and Hart but for people are aren't fans of them it wouldn't be anything special. I did enjoy Michelle Ryan's performance as well. The film could have been better had their been more character development and it wasn't such a cliche. I think the performances of the actors were really wasted in this film and it just didn't have enough to make it stand out and above the rest.
