A refreshing antidote to those E! True Hollywood Story documentaries on adult-film figures like John Holmes, Savannah and Traci Lords. - 70
Village Voice
In a way, the porn legend seems to have cut a tragic Faustian deal. He's always wanted to be a mainstream actor. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Now in his late 40s and hairier than ever, Jeremy seems a simple enough, likable guy, and he has no pretensions about what he does. And no apologies either. - 63
Boston Globe
Captures a shadowy scene. - 60
Variety
The Legend of Ron Jeremy is, at a brisk 75 minutes, long enough to get the job done. - 60
The New York Times
Entertaining, lightly mocking documentary. - 50
New York Post
It's a lumpy and disorganized film that remains unsatisfying, perhaps because the fundamental oddness of having sex in public for money as a way of life remains just as mysterious at the end of the film as in the beginning. - 50
