HOLLYWOOD—Most critics may be trashing Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star, the new porn-themed spoof from Adam Sandler's Happy Madison production house, but Joanna Angel begs to differ.
"It surprised me," she told Movieline.com's Julie Miller after the cineaste outlet brought her to a Friday screening of the film to solicit a take on it from a real-deal porn star.

Asked to rate the movie on a scale of up to 10, Angel said, "If I were to compare this to other comedies, I'd give this a six. I definitely did like this better than all the other mainstream movies I've seen about porn before."
