Very well executed
SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
View MoreAfter playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Pornography is a strange thing; I mean porn distinct from erotically tinged or even centered film.Porn by its nature is otherworldly, something that isn't real. The world of most porn has nothing at all in common with the world we live in except for a few words and the common existence of genitals. (Fortunately, surgical modification of those isn't popular yet.) The whole value is in pretending, where erotic art is all about revealing.So porn might as well be done by puppets, cartoons or computerized animation. The only reason that's not prevalent I suppose is because folks off the street are cheap and plentiful. Well, here's an early experiment, one that fails in all respects except for perhaps humor. At least it is intended to be funny.The later to be great Peter Jackson did something like this, but with a grosser attitude. This is mostly childish and the emphasis is on jokes. When I enter something like this, my first reaction isn't based on whether the jokes are funny, but whether they are clever and cinematic.Most aren't, they're at the fifth grade level, which means they are desperate for attention. Some are slightly better: dumb ideas that seem slightly novel with puppets. The first episode is dog-girl, but because they are both equally removed from humanness, the overall effect is worthy of Jack Smith.Only once, maybe twice is there a truly cinematic effect that takes advantage of the fact these are puppets. Towards the end, a fish, a man, some sex, some eating.The oddest piece is an appearance by a human girl, a topless dancer who spends ever so long doing what she and many others I guess think is sexy. She looked like a puppet.I think someone, someday will do something deep in this area. But this, it ain't even fishfood.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
View More"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.
View MoreI 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.
View MoreWell, I guess there's worse movies out there. I just don't know what they are. There is no real plot, but there is enough nasty perversion in this movie to satisfy Jeffrey Dahmer. I'm not a prude, but I guarantee that you will not like this move (unless you are a serial killer or something). I swear, most pornos aren't this revolting. BTW, it was shown at the 1998 B-Fest--and was a resounding bomb, probably because everyone had to go vomit in the toilet afterwards. I wish I had missed it like my friend.
