Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

SnoopyStyle Harry Schechter (Stephen Nathan) has been making porno to keep his father's film studio open. The financial situation is getting worst. He is inspired by his secretary Rosie (Cindy Williams) to make the world's first porno musical. The investors give him two weeks to complete it or else lose the studio. One of them forces his incompetent nephew John Smithee (Bruce Kimmel) on Harry as the film's director.This is sex vaudeville with plenty of nudity. It's rarely funny. The humor is very broad. Only "Scale" got a laugh for me. That scene is so stupid, so obvious, and so telegraphed. It's comedy camp. It keeps trying to be very broad but it doesn't really work. Ron Howard has a small cameo and Cindy Williams just started Laverne & Shirley. Neither are getting naked in this. Alexandra Morgan does the self-obsessed diva Mary LaRue and she is almost funny. The problem is that none of the others are charismatic or comedic.

rob-901 I'm a big fan of camp humor, so this one is admirable if only for its effort. This was made back when a movie was entertaining and fun.Distributed by Paramount, it was avant garde for "legit" films. A Happy Days era Ron Howard has a speaking part, a pre-Laverne Cindy Williams has a major part, and I could swear that the "lesbian/chorus girl" is actually a pre-Clint Eastwood Sondra Locke. If you watch her in the chorus line and subsequent parts, she's actually better than in her other movies!I doubt that you can find the movie packaged as a VHS or DVD, but it "is available" digitally if you know where to look.

Oskado I saw this film years ago in grainy VHS version and liked it - though it seemed, thanks to the poor quality of the medium, low-budget and sketchy. The newly released version on DVD, reconstructed from the original 35mm edit brings out the full vibrancy of the original work. There is an intelligent, ironic and youthful irreverence or attitude in this film reminiscent of Star Wars Part 1, or of Blade Runner - or of the original-cast seedy-theater showing of the Rocky Horror Show. Note I can't stand the film version of RHS - about as riveting as a basket of plastic fruit. The cast here consists largely of L.A. City College students - and the results reflect their youthful, adventurous tastes, not the dudd, platitudinous, mass-marketed vacuity of the lowest common denominator flicks usually earmarking big studio or TV productions. And - the acting is perfect. The heroine became Shirley of Laverne and Shirley before filming ended, and I noted some lines echoed moments of Woody Allen - through under-acting what might have been racy content with an air of naiveté or suspended innocence.The nudity in this film is complete (male and female) but thoroughly or comically underplayed - somewhat in the style of Mrs. Henderson Presents - though generally in music and dance style - like that of Moulin Rouge or Folies Bergeres. Note that if I go to Folies Bergeres itself (in nearby Vegas), the quasi-nude music-and-dance action occupies the foreground and can quickly become boring: the color, movement, music and design can't - in my case - sustain interest. Here, we have comedy, from slapstick to subtle or ironic, and good, creative comedy is hard to find.

godmonster I saw this movie several times on cable TV back in the 70's. Very memorable, I can still recall some of the songs. Highly recommended, I wish this film were available. I'm sure most of the cast would be too embarrassed for it to be seen, but it is very funny. "I'm not a gimp, I'm not a cripple, so won't you let me hold your nipple." The bit with the "Stunt Cock" was hysterical. Bring this movie back on DVD.
