User Reviews

A merry sex comedy rather than a gay one

A women finds 4 seeds in an antique chest that turns men into women and vice versa. The fun begins when she takes one and forces her colored maid to take a second and gives the third to a man who annoys her. Plenty of cross dressing and making fun of sexual stereotypes.

Wonderful Florida location shooting, including old Saint Petersburg.
