...your typical coming-of-age story, this tale of the making of a '70s porn star (played by the artist formerly known as Marky Mark, no less) evolves into a touching, refreshingly quirky family drama, as the "star" finds himself part of a veritable clan of flawed but endearing members of the seamy industry, headed by Burt Reynolds' would-be visionary filmmaker. Director Paul Anderson displays a remarkable eye and ear for the fluffy vacuousness and conspicuously awful taste of the disco era, while paying cinematic homage to the period's greatest directors...

...these lamentations sound like empty rhetoric, it is because they are, admittedly, impotent. In one of the more poignant scenes in Boogie Nights, two of the porn stars, now married and expecting a child, seek a loan to start a small business.
