A teenager (Ashley Hinshaw) takes the money she earned for a photo shoot and runs away to San Francisco, where she catches the eye of both a lawyer (James Franco) and a lesbian porn director (Heather Graham).

Critics Consensus

Showing lots of skin but never as narratively daring. Cherry skimps on substance all around.

When a guilty perv is all a film has to offer by way of a protagonist then it's probably in the best interests of us all if it doesn't exist.

Rated: 1/5

So much of About Cherry is meant to titillate and dramatize but never humanize.

Rated: 2.0/5.0

Chicago Reader

Dramas about the porn industry range from expressions of puritanical rage to celebrations of open sexuality; this one manages to avoid both extremes, as well as anything else that might make it worth watching.

Possesses some very fine moments complete with great performances, particularly from Hinshaw.

Rated: 3/5

Shared Darkness

Rather shockingly lacking in dynamic plotting, the film descends into mystifying incomprehensibility in its final reels, showing a lack of understanding of basic human motivations.

Rated: C-

only offer a lot of nude scene but no value presented in this movie. Lack of value, unelaborated value about "falling into porn industry" story is the worst part. Ridiculous ending

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Not a very deep or eye-opening movie. Lots of skin shown but not much else

Trama non particolarmente originale ma una serie di personaggi abbastanza interessanti da sopperire alla prevedibilità del film. Gli aspetti più tecnici del mondo del "cinema hard" e il continuo avvicinamento ad esso sono sicuramente le parti meglio riuscite. Decisamente toppato il finale che trova una soluzione sbrigativa e non soddisfacente; lasciando incredibilmente in sospeso personaggi e questioni che avevano una buona importanza nella sceneggiatura.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The one star is for the nudity. What a meandering pointless mess.

Just your average B movie without showing actual porn scenes.

This isn't the first time I've asked, "What the hell is James Franco doing in this movie?" It is the first time, however, I've asked that of Heather Graham.
