Awful! Awful! Awful!

Awful, the one word that describes this trashy exploitation of nudity, this film is a poor excuse for "comedy", whoever created this should be ashamed. Whoever had anything to do with the production of the film should be ashamed, whoever enjoyed this film and gave it a rating above 5/10 should be deeply ashamed for this film is the definition of terrible. If you were a filmmaker wouldn't you want to make good quality films? Why would you want to be a filmmaker for poor films? It doesn't make any sense. Whoever worked on this film I say you should either get a new job and stop destroying the quality of film or at the very least try to make a good film because this is an awful piece of junk! It is the work of a scumbag who reads to many playboy magazines! This is utterly worthless, no one should watch this film because it is a waste of time! The plot is so outrageously stupid. There is no redeeming qualities about this film whatsoever. WARNING! if you see this film at the video store and wish to see a funny film for the night rent something else for this film will not give you pleasure! And if it does you have no tastes whatsoever!
