The book is pretty funny, too!, 3 October 2005
7/10
Author: m67165

I think I read the paperback first. I highly recommend it. Then I saw a tape of this movie, and decided right then that it does deserve a place in the history of film. And not only because of the scandals and the fight for the freedom of speech, even though that's as important today as it was back then.

I'm talking about a sex comedy here. Sure enough, it is a sex comedy with explicit sex included, with the intention to make money by getting the audience hot all over. And it is dated, even the jokes about the squares of the time.

Well, that's fine with me: I find it OK to make money with sexy stuff, and this one is not only sexy but quite funny. I have had the chance to see it again at the silver screen, and it was lots of fun all over again. In short: sexy underground comedy.
