Inside loses sight of its principal and most compelling storyline—the rise and fall of its stars Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems and director Gerard Damiano—and begins grabbing at socio-historical miscellany to spice things up. The resulting mishmash of music, fashion, and other cultural trivia resembles a bad VH1 “I Love the (insert date here)” special, when the demigods of yesterday?...

...seen it?" Such confidence might explain the decision not to cast big names in the lead roles. Moulin Rouge had Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman; Chicago had Renee Zellwegger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere; Phantom has 18-year-old Emmy Rossum (The Day After Tomorrow) and Scott Gerard Butler, 35, best known for 2003's Tomb Raider sequel.
