    • Quotes

      Diane Farrow: There was this experiment where an electrode was planted in the pleasure center of a monkey's brain. When the monkey hit a button, it sent a signal to the electrode, in effect, exciting the monkey sexually.

      Woman at luncheon: You're kidding.

      Diane Farrow: No. Can you guess what happened?

      Woman at luncheon: Was it a male monkey?

      Diane Farrow: Yes.

      Woman at luncheon: He slammed the button till he died.

      Diane Farrow: Oh, so you know this experiment?

      Woman at luncheon: I know men, honey.

    Fun Little Film
    This movie is not great cinema, but as long as you don't go into it looking for earth-shattering insight and emotional depth, its actually an amusing little time waster. The movie's goofy but original premise conceals its relatively cliched plots, and all concerned appear to be having fun. Bottomline, if you avoid taking either the movie or yourself too seriously, LP #9 is good for a few laughs.
