Synopsis

In the comedy "Slippery Slope," a fierce young feminist filmmaker who is desperate for cash to finish her documentary "Feminism for Dummies" secretly takes a job directing a porn film after her other moneymaking schemes don't pan out. She brings her feminist ideals to the porn set, and the experience unexpectedly awakens her slumbering sexuality, arousing the suspicions of her politically-correct husband and threatening her marriage.
