Elektra Luxx has its moments, but the overriding reaction is "Why?" Not only did its predecessor not merit a sequel by anyone's standards, but this is a forgettable film briefly buoyed by lines and energetic performances.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 15, 2013

An odd but often laugh-out-loud funny mix of absurdist humor, raunchy backstories, and genuine pathos.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2011

Not that there's a lot of substance here in the first place. Gutierrez's movie is superficial and slick in most respects, and if not for its amazing cast of veteran and up-and-coming character actors I don't there would be much here to talk about.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 11, 2011

Has some scattered witty notions, but it is not funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 11, 2011

A porn star's midlife crisis makes for a limp story in "Elektra Luxx."

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 11, 2011

Despite the fine thesping seen in this innocuous piece of fluff, the whole amounts to less than the sum of its parts.

| Mar 10, 2011

"Elektra Luxx" has a playful, breezy sexiness that gives the world of the film, porn biz and all, a refreshing innocence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2011

You sense that the characters, as much as we, are waiting for something to happen.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 10, 2011

"Elektra Luxx'' needs a star whose secret weapon is that she only looks and sounds as dumb as people think she is. It needs Melanie Griffith.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 10, 2011

The intended colorful irreverence looks a lot like standard indie quirk.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Mar 10, 2011

The picture is rambunctiously affectionate; Guiterrez may go for the broad joke, but never the cheap one.

Full Review | Original Score: 8.5/10 | Mar 9, 2011

It isn't clever enough to be even momentarily diverting, and it's about as sexy as oatmeal.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 9, 2011

Gutierrez clearly has great affection for his characters, but his artless, airless construction gives audiences scant chance to understand why.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 9, 2011

Micro-budgeted sequel improves on its obscure predecessor while giving ample screen time to actresses who don't get enough elsewhere.

| Mar 8, 2011

While milking humor and pathos from porn is a fine idea, Elektra Luxx is too reverent to land any real punches.

| Mar 8, 2011

Few sequels are less warranted than Elektra Luxx, a follow-up to 2009's multi-character mess Women in Trouble.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 7, 2011

While there's certainly trouble to be had, just like its predecessor, Women in Trouble, the characters manage to keep you from completely dismissing this sloppy mess.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 24, 2011
