Critic's Grade: B+

Director Jesse Epstein creates a film dedicated to the images you see in major magazines and the beautiful women that grace the covers. The women that promote everything from the latest clothing line, electronics, and cars that just seem to be everywhere as you flip through the latest edition of any major publication. This documents one guy's eye for beautiful women and what is on the pages isn't all certain.

Wet Dreams and False Images is a film that revolves around a Barber named Dee-Dee who enthusiastically is the self-proclaimed "booty Expert". He can tell you which women he proclaims to be the most attractive just ask him he'll tell you the inside scoop. Epstein captures Dee-Dee everyday lifestyle from his loyal customers, friends who come to the shop for their regular trim. But, it's his wall archive of magazine cutouts of women that just seem to gravitate his attention. Since he himself has said he knows the kind of women he would like to be his girlfriend. He has yet to learn about falsehoods in advertising what exactly happens before those images make publication?

Well, unaware to Dee-Dee those images get hours of digital cropping to make the women and the company's image look perfect. So, the person who wants to be like what the advertisements are conveying. When Dee-Dee is introduced to the art of media manipulation you can sense the rebuttal coming. He try's to support the images of these gorgeous women he himself would like to introduce to his mother over dinner. Have a date and take one of these hot women out dancing on the town. But, fortunately Dee-Dee has to learn the truth behind these pictures of fantasy and come back down to reality. There are a lot of guys who wouldn't hesitate to strike up a date with anyone of these women. The big question still remains could Dee-Dee ever look at beauty the same way again?

Jesse covers the entire basis in this short documentary from the fantasy to the hard reality that is.
