Exactly what the title says...

I saw this film at about 3am with a cinema full of rabid "bad film junkies" during a movie marathon for a local trash film festival. It was the perfect thing at that time of the morning, but I cant imagine watching it at any other time of my waking life. Plot - awful. Acting - campy. Singing/dancing routines - appalling. I wouldn't even degrade the porn industry by labeling it as such. This is 100% unadulterated crap, beyond anything that bears that stigma... I LOVED IT!!!!

Apparently (we were told before it unspooled before our unsuspecting eyes) it is on high recommendation from Quinten Tarantino...

I'll never look at David Hasselhoff the same!!!! :)
