What's Not to Love?
The twisted, sexually offbeat memoir by author Jonathan Ames becomes this original adaptation about the sexual peccadilloes of the writer (playing himself) as he experiences masculinity first hand and lives to write about it. Based on Ames' inflammatory, exquisitely worded, and often tastelessly brilliant columns for the "New York Press."
