Product Description
Budding filmmakers Joe and Baggy know that they have a script made of gold, but lack the finances for production until a desperate producer throws them a bone. There is one catch - they need Candy Fiveways (Carmen Electra), the World's No. 1 Adult Star, to play the lead in their movie. Making a groundbreaking film, complete with explicit scenes, in your own parents' house is never easy, but dreams have a funny way of working out...

| Synopsis | Tom Riley, Tom Burke, Carmen Electra and Michelle Ryan co-star in British director Stephen Surjik's smutty sex comedy I Want Candy. The picture concerns two film students Baggy (Burke) and Joe (Riley), enrolled at a university in Leatherhead, England. The pair just recently completed a script that they plan to shoot for their graduation thesis, and want to use it to break into the British movie industry. Alas, their professor informs them of a two-minute imposition on the length of the thesis film. Discouraged, Joe and Baggy head off on a trip to London, where they attempt to solicit the interest of producers in the script - but they only succeed in catching the eye of a porn mogul, Doug Perry (Eddie Marsam) who agrees to finance the project if and only if they will turn it into a porno feature and talk ing?nue Candy Fiveways (Electra) into starring. Undaunted, the boys set off to locate Candy and convince her to perform in their movie. |

Save your money - i was disappointedReview by S. Riley, 2010-05-09
i got this movie used because of carmen electra in the title role. the movie is english with accents and english type humor and carmen is only in the movie about 10 minutes total. even used for a couple bucks it isn't worth it. if you want a good comedy with carmen electra try 'the mating habits of the earthbound human'...good used price on amazon.
splendid nerds
Review by James Harrington, 2009-04-27
Carmen is not seen until suffering movie is one-half over.
How she teamed with these nerds is beyond words.
I guesss the answer is like asking Ed McMahon why he did commercials until he died--he needed the money.
Hey Carmen: you dont need stuff like this to film for us.
It's OK to enjoy porn...
Review by Stephanie I. Horvath, 2009-04-17
I am not sure what I was hoping for when I got this, other than that I wanted to see Tom Riley in something else. He plays quite a brat, producer, smooth dick to Tom Burke's sulking wannabe director. They, driven by the absolute need to make a movie, any movie, find themselves making soft porn with Candy Fiveways (Carmen Electra). Yeay.
Ensues lots of porn/cooking gags. Some good, some not so great. Something lacks in this movie, something about heart... or maybe it's too long... or the actors fail to convince.
Maybe it's a case of them having far too good a time making the damn thing, leaving us with the crumbs. Anyways. If you remotely enjoy watching Tom Riley do anything, this one is for you !
No candy in this one!
Review by Jelly Jar, 2009-01-21
Okay, I love Carmen Electra...she has a figure to die for, however, the concept of the movie and the DVD cover are EXTREMELY deceptive. There isn't a whole lot of Carmen at all in this flick. The character she plays is supposed to be a porn star, so you would think that she would show some skin when she does appear, right?
WRONG! There is more nudity in a Gremlins movie than in this cheeseball!
You can get a good look at her from behind about...oh, let's see...once, and she's only in lingerie throughout the entire flick, which is about all she wears on a day to day basis anyway.
So don't get your hopes up if you think you're going to see Carmen's fabulous figure in any more than her normal everyday pictures that are strewn out by the millions all over the internet.
ENOUGH ABOUT THAT...ON TO THE MOVIE:
A one star stinker!
The acting is ridiculously bad, the plot premise is way too far-fetched to take itself seriously (even for a comedy)! Who are these people anyway? I haven't heard of a single one of them being in any other notable movies! And it looked like it was filmed in someone's personal garage and backyard as well!
Poor production on all accounts!
STAR FACTOR: One miserable, let-down star!
Very funny film
Review by Three Heads Are Better Than One, 2008-11-21
This has a lot of good laughs in it, it's a mix between a situation comedy and the background behind an "arty" sex film made by students who end up owing some sleazy gangsters.
It has a lot of good moments in it and some excellent lines. It's a good film.
