- 85MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie ZacharekThe picture is rambunctiously affectionate; Guiterrez may go for the broad joke, but never the cheap one.
- Elektra Luxx has a playful, breezy sexiness that gives the world of the film, porn biz and all, a refreshing innocence.
- 63Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisDoes a lot of winking and teasing.
- 50Village VoiceVillage VoiceElektra Luxx's episodic structure and candy-apple compositions make for a good time, even if Gutierrez lacks the narrative and syntactical muscle to pull off the sex-positive Tarantino-esque farce he seems to be after.
- 50The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasAs with "Women In Trouble," Gutierrez unveils a series of loosely connected characters and subplots that concern players in and around the porn industry, but the intended colorful irreverence looks a lot like standard indie quirk.
- 40Time OutEric HynesTime OutEric HynesIt's another episodic, shaggy-dog parade of L.A. denizens caught in moderately compromised positions.
- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenElektra Luxx has some scattered witty notions, but it is not funny.
- 40New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierGugino is having a ball, but every scene feels like an oh-so-arch one-act.
- 40Boxoffice MagazineMark KeizerBoxoffice MagazineMark KeizerA charmingly hardened Carla Gugino reprises her role as the titular porn star, still pregnant and now coping with retirement.
- 25New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithThe movie, a sequel to 2009's much more sprightly and amusing indie "Women in Trouble," seems to be reaching for Robert Altman territory. Instead of offering many intriguing stories, though, it can't come up with even one.
