This is a movie made on the cheap, with corny humor, somewhat stilted dialog and donuts. Lots of donuts. Made at the cultural crossroads, at the peak of the 'porn chic' period where Johnny Carson very publicly attended a screening of 'Deep Throat', this movie attempts to make fun of the various bits of culture attendent to 'porn chic'. It's funny in a B movie sort of way with some fairly catchy songs, all with bawdy themes.In the end, it works because of the awkward innocence of most involved. Oh, and the nudity, 1970's style, hairy and human. It's a glance at ourselves from a bygone time, before pornography transitioned, in the main, into mechanical overt abuse.

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?

I saw this when I was 15, in the theater... I think we paid for something else and then snuck into this theatre. There were 5 people in the theatre and 3 left half way through.....Do you get what I'm saying. It was the first time I ever saw a fully naked women, I was male and 15.....and it was still only marganially entertaining. Some of the songs were good... This is a product of the 70s when movies like this and Fairy Tales, Flesh Gorden and such were taking almost adult movies(no plot lots of skin) to the mainstream theaters.While I am a major movie freak, I am not much on musicals, so if you like musicals and skin......Maybe.4/10

Bruce Kimmell, the force behind this one, had such good songs that you can't blame him for creating a musical film to highlight them, albeit at any cost. Too bad he couldn't get funding from a major studio for this sweet little satiric delight. This one's ripe for a remake! Disney? Dreamworks? Imagine? LucasFilm? Some funding, please! Thanks to Image Entertainment for a very thorough presentation on DVD.
