The heist-con-therapy-parable part was great! Except that it made Cobb's baggage that much more tiresome by comparison. XD
It certainly seems ficcable? Or at least, they spend the entire first half of the movie reading you the Dungeon Master's Guide--with a brief detour into the DMG Errata in the second half--and by the end you're all raring to get a crew together and plan your own escapades. On the other hand, the movie sets a pretty high bar; it feels like a lot of work to assemble a heist that wouldn't seem embarassingly threadbare by comparison.
(I'd attribute the amount of porn written to the fact that it's a familiar and relatively less daunting writing task. And of course that the cast--with the exception of Leo himself, who hasn't aged well--is good looking.)
