Repugnant in its salacious superficiality, Porn Theatre manages to be boring and vile beneath its transparent veil of artistic pretense.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Even those titillated by the graphic sex will have to admit that the movie is repetitive and ultimately boring.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

Porn Theatre, as the title suggests, is not for the sexually conservative. Not even for the sexually moderate liberal. It is, however, for the right crowd in the right mood, a very fine film.
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
Porn Theater is revealing only physically, not emotionally or intellectually.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
