Daffy nurse Linda Lovelace (an appealing portrayal by the extremely cute Linda Lovelace) works for libidinous goofball sex therapist Dr. Jayson (broadly played with delicious eye-rolling gusto by Harry Reems). One of the patients she is treating is Dilbert Lamb (an engagingly nerdy turn by Richard Livermore), a meek geek who's harboring the plans for a top secret government computer. Both the KGB and CIA alike attempt to enlist Lovelace in order to obtain the data on the computer. Noted soft-core writer/director Joe Sarno is in an atypically playful and lighthearted mood here: he relates the hilariously ridiculous plot at a constant swift pace, nicely mines an amusing line in amiably silly humor, maintains a breezy tone throughout, and really pulls out the stops with the off-the-wall slapstick conclusion. A prime cast of familiar East Coast hardcore cinema veterans have themselves a field day with the cheerfully inane material: Jamie Gillis, Marc Stevens, and Tanya Tickler as bumbling CIA agents, David Davidson as the handsome and mysterious Ken Whacker, Helen Madigan as the ditsy Bonnie Smiley, the ever-adorable Chris Jordan as seductive Russian agent Sonya Toroscova, and Tina Russell as lascivious old bag Aunt Juliet. Look fast for stand-up comedienne Judy Tenuta and the legendary Georgina Spelvin in bit roles. The groovy score by Lou Argese and Tony Bruno hits the get-down funky spot and keeps things bubbling along. George Quinn's lively cinematography boasts lots of snappy pans. A real riot.
