“Fifty Shades of Grey!” It’s a cultural event! Here’s how you know: three teenage girls sitting next to the reviewer at the screening had memorized the lines from the book, and they'd call them out like a latter-day “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
But it’s not Rocky Horror. It’s a lukewarm softcore-porn soap opera. It’s basically “Pretty Woman” with spanking.
Mr. Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) is a troubled 27 year-old billionaire. She, Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson—Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith’s kid), is a co-ed virgin.
