A twentysomething Los Angeles transplant named Sean (Michael Cunio) gets introduced to gay porn when he accidentally rents Citizen Cum instead of Orson Welles' classic at the local video store--a serendipitous rental that eventually leads to his getting a job as an adult film cameraman for “gay for pay” porn star Johnny Rebel's (Scott Gurney) movie company. Sean falls hard for Johnny while fulfilling the unofficial part of his job description as a “fluffer”--the person responsible for keeping the male performer in a state of, uh, readiness to shoot his scenes. Ultimately, while The Fluffer has its moments, it doesn't come close to the similarly-themed Boogie Nights. Definitely optional. (T. Rich)
