A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

What can be said that has not been said already -certainly one of the most interesting titles for a film but some of the comments on this site make it look as if this is an undiscovered gem of a movie when in fact it is not. There will be a great deal of puzzlement in trying to get guests to even view the film after reading the title. For cult viewing I would recommend almost any other low budget SF / Horror movie. However if is is available in a bargain bin somewhere then give it a go but don't hold your breath for the BLUE RAY of HD-DVD version. There is a sense of pride in finding a strange little movie and being a champion of that movie but this movie does not deserve such high praise. Terrible acclamation sucks the rug out from under this film before it gets started. Finally a lot of urban myths and hospital rumours surround people who fall in love with domestic appliance (or at least try to). Best avoided.

This was probably one of the best films I have ever seen. From the hilariously cheesy beginning to the poignant, heart-rending end, this is a film that will truly stay with you. Dusty, a relative unknown, delivered a stellar performance as the lead character. As the film opened I was dubious, but as soon as Dusty and Vernon came on the scene I was riveted. There's much more to this film than simply camp. The moving and tragic tale of Dusty's journey interweaves seamlessly with a full cast of well-rounded characters. This isn't simply a movie about a vacuum cleaner. It is a movie about people. It is a movie about the strength of true love, and having the courage to follow your heart. Complete with murder, mayhem, sex, love, tragedy, and a spectacular twist to the main romance, Oversexed Rugsuckers delivers a truly beautiful motion picture experience.

I challenged a friend to find me the most bizarre film he could in a day. He came up with this little gem, After viewing the cover of the video i was a little unsure that i would be able to watch the whole film. The first 5 minutes do it no favours, but after that it becomes a most entertaining film, and i was glued to it the whole way through. If you get a chance to see this film do so. Not recommended for a night in with the wench, but a must see classic peace of cinema. I felt sorry for that naughty little dust sucker, just doing what comes naturally. Just goes to show you do not have to throw a millions of pounds at a film to make it entertaining. (A few more quid would not go a miss!)

Well, Kira Philips and Miles O'Brien, in speaking about Mars, spoke about this movie on August 27, 2003 as one of 108 movies with the name "Mars" in the title. I don't think that the movie would have been mentioned at all if it was not at least funny. Has anyone seen this film on TV and/or at art film showcases such as the Museum of Modern Art in NYC?
