I always knew Troma studios were all about the trash gore and female nudity but this 'movie' was just so hopelessly sloppy and disjointed it was nothing short of pathetic! It's just awkward to watch and really not very fun at all, it's a far cry from the really rocking and anarchic films that they did like Terror Firma, Tromeo and Juliet and the good Toxie movies, those flicks technically weren't vastly different from this one in terms of budget and acting, but they had a kind of fun crazy drive and energy to them, and they were mainly funny because of the fearlessness and enthusiasm of the actors, but this hack-job monstrosity is what I'd call the work of zombie Troma, a studio that in the case of flicks like this, is a shambling corpse of what it could be when it really got its act together and made something actually worth watching, but this is just endless scenes of obnoxious silly gross fart and squelchy noises and overly sexual jokes and situations with curvaceous hot girls taking their clothes off, from what I could gather the movie's main appeal would be to excitable young guys because it sure wasn't very funny, only moment that did make me laugh was the Trey Parker cameo! The majority of it though was just disgusting and brutal and weirdly very dull.. To me it's really not worth bothering with, it may score points for the odd lucky hilarious touch or the many sexy ladies on display, or just for the sheer weirdness, but overall it's a very weak nonsensical endeavour with no real story and just loud gross out nonsense constantly shoved in your face, with Lloyd Kaufman popping up to plug his book every now and then, and it doesn't help at all that it's completely aware of how awful and stupid it is and even tells you so, several times, but all the self-deprecation in the world can't make a bad movie into a good one! It's a bit frustrating because I like Troma and the spirit of what they represent at their best, but this is just plain terrible. Oh and don't be deceived by the cover art no matter what you do, because this sure ain't no fun Creepshlw type flick, it's an anthology in as loose a term as I've ever seen. Just very poor all around and just not fun enough, I love ya Lloyd but you can do better than this, this deserves nothing less than to be flushed!!! X
