Not sure how this one didn't recoup it's productions investment at the box office (at least according to Wikipedia). The casting and constant feel of the era being portrayed were awesome, with nary an anachronism. Despite how you may feel about Courtney Love she gave a knockout performance in this one, as did Woody Harrelson who was very convincing as both a pre and post cripple smut peddler. I would definitely make the time to watch this one, not only for the movie, but also for some historical perspective on a man who had a large influence on the development of the porn industry, and still does today.

A melancholy portrayal of the life of Larry Flynt. I liked how director Forman neither condemns nor condones Flynt's behavior and Woody Harrelson puts in a commanding performance. At times, the film drags and meanders, but the key scenes of Flynt's life are captivating because of the bold cast performances.

This movie is awesome. It's based on a true story of Larry Flynt's life in the porn magazine industry, and the hardships he had to overcome to continue to do business. Very interesting story about freedoms and rights in america. This is Woody Harrelson's best role, he should've gotten an oscar for this.

Although the subject has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, Flynt is someone you love to hate. I thought Harrelson did a good job and Love was outstanding (probably because it wasn't a stretch for her to play Flynt's drug-addicted woman). Interesting biography by any means.

Any movie that can turn an indecent smut-peddler into a saint deserves credit. It may be idealized, but The People vs. Larry Flynt gives a good spin on free speech and for that alone, it should be commended.
