Better Late Then Never

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This is not only the best hardcore porno puppet movie ever; it may just be the best hardcore porno movie ever. The acting is well above the usual porn standards. The actors have no problems with wood--they are wood! The actresses are probably slightly less synthetic and surgically-enhanced than today's porno starlets--and they seem to be genuinely enjoying their sex scenes. Is it erotic? Well, no, but neither are extreme close-ups of Ron Jeremy's perineum. And, hey, it's even on shot on film instead of video. My only regret is that I never got to see this during its original, (very) limited Time Square release (being 7 at the time they probably wouldn't have let me in the theater). I would have loved to see the look on the faces of all the sleazeballs and the slumming "porno chic" types who found "Deep Throat" to be a bold cultural statement when they got a gander of this thing!

"Let My Puppets Come" is one of those curiosity movies due to it being a pornographic puppet flick. The movie concerns a few men (played by puppets) who need to make some quick money to repay what they owe to a mafia man. They decide to make a blue movie as a way to make that fast cash. "Let My Puppets Come" is full of comedy that falls flat. The human nudity is there without being titillating, and the puppet sex scenes are really not that interesting. There is one rather surprising (or maybe shocking) sex scene in which a puppet dog is involved. Luis De Jesus and Lynette Sheldon both appeared in the awful "Blood Sucking Freaks." Adult film director Gerard Damiano ("Deep Throat") directed this movie, and also appears in it. Another porn king, Al Goldstein, also appears in the movie. Adult actress Annie Sprinkle helped out with her production design. To sum it up, "Let My Puppets Come" is a rather bland and boring curiosity movie. "Let My Puppets Come" is a short (about 50 minutes in running time) motion picture for adults only, and is rated X for hardcore puppet action.

I just recently bought this film (which is very rare in Australia because of it's X rating) and I must say I wasn't expecting much. Let My Puppets Come did have a few laughs in it (some of which are unintentional) and does get better every time you watch it, however it still pales in comparison to Peter Jackson's muppet-bashing classic. I would still say it was worth the $3 I spent on it just to see another smutty puppets film (a 70's porn at that!) and Bloodsucking Freaks star Luis De Jesus in another film role. I would recommend any fans of Meet the Feebles to check out this little known classic. Oh yeah, and the X rating is because of the hardcore trailers at the end of the film (the Aussie video release), not LMPC itself, which as NO human sex scenes at all.

Yes, this is puppet pornography. Easily one of the most bizarre films I've ever seen, Let My Puppets Come can only be compared to one other film, Peter Jackson's excellently silly Meet the Feebles. All I can say is that you are in for an interesting 50 minutes. It shouldn't be exceedingly hard to find a copy, heck, it's on DVD.
