Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Excellent film with a gripping story!

Disapointment

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Striving for deliberate camp, this one joke musical comedy delivers a few minor laughs but not much else. Think of the style of all singing/all dancing had Ed Wood had the idea of adding songs to his girly flicks of the 1960's. Fortinately, there is not much in the way of flesh, just a lot of bare breasts, a few buttocks and plenty of hair pie. It all concerns a porn producer who decides to make the epic of porno and ends up getting the bright idea of adding songs to smut. There are dancing dildos, singing butch lesbians, a Ruby Keeler style ingenue, a Strasberg graduate with an attitude who can't get a legitimate job, smarmy money men and a devoted assistant played by none other than Cindy Williams.This has the mark of a turkey, but in spite of the bad songs, lousy dancers and unfunny jokes, there is actually something innocent about it all. Diana Canova does get a few laughs as a Latina performer with the talent of "The Ritz's" Googie Gomez. The song of the innocent ingenue is deliciously bad. Several surprise cameos along the way are amusing but forced. But any film where Cindy Williams proclaims, "Her orgasm was horrible!" can't be all bad, can it?

An enthusiastic young and talented cast try to put on the first nudie musical with numbers such as "Dacing Dildoes" and a totally incompetent director.I caught this years ago on cable (early 80s). I remember when it came out in 1976 people were shocked that Cindy Williams (of TV's silly "Laverne & Shirley" sitcom) would star in an R rated movie. Just in case you're curious she remains fully clothed throughout the entire film. The entire cast is young, healthy, good-looking and out to please. There's plenty of female nudity (some full frontals) but, strangely, no male nudity (from the waist down at least). There's a constant air of amiability about the film and some of the jokes and songs are pretty good...but there are an equal number that are pretty bad. So it was kind of amusing but no blockbuster. The fact that I can still remember scenes and lines from it 20+ years later should tell you something. Good luck finding it--it seems to have disappeared.

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.

Very funny parts - Yes, the dancing dildos scene spawned one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a movie: "Can't you f---ing dildos get anything right?!" You have to see it just for this line!!! Don't spend over $1.99 to rent it though -- Ron Howard appears, yet went uncredited for a reason!
