7/10
Oh Kay . . . . . steps away from the screen, but can't stop watching.

I'm reminded of the Clerks 2 cringeworthy bit with the guy have sex with a donkey.

Lets be clear. This is not a good movie. It's not porn, it's in part about guys who watch porn and it's not fetishy because the clips just flash across the screen with no order or focus. People with fetishes tend to have specific interests. This film is more like a catalog of every possible fetish, which kind of diminishes any focus on true fetish urge.

It fails in that sense, but it captures a guy in an underdog situation, both at work, and with his girlfriend, who he's unable to please, and it's set on the backdrop of Y2K and a company where the jobs are going away once the year 2000 hits, but the work is stressful before then. And having sex with computers - yup, drilling holes in computer cases and . . . you get the picture.

Watch it like a train wreck if you like. Don't expect much. There are some likable and quirky characters and maybe you won't hate it. I didn't hate it.

I don't think this movie has the charm or quirkiness it needs to ever become a cult classic, so it will probably be forgotten and that might be for the best, but it has some elements that cult classic films have.
