Why does this film exist?

You know when even I turn off something halfway through with female nudity and Johnny Depp you're onto a loser. Johnny, be asheamed, be very ashamed!

Yep. I've seen enough clips of this film to know that in spite of my admiration of and devotion to Johnny Depp, this is not a film that I should seek out, lest it ruin my perception of him.

The film is absolutely terrible, although it's not Depp's (or Morrow's) fault. Contrary to one of the IMDB reviews I just read, this film is not better than most teen sex comedies from the '80s, or even equal. It's much worse. Totally inept direction accounts for a complete absence of comic timing. It's like watching a bunch of stupid skits strung together, the next one more boring than the last.

Still, if you want to see Depp's ass, or bare tits popping out every few scenes, then there's that vicarious thrill for anyone interested.

Yes, it is an almost complete waste of a film, but you can see Depp working through the crap to try and hone his craft.

I loved the female nudity in this movie! You have to consider that Johnny Depp was just starting out in the business you know and I have seen actors do very poor movies to work their way up to the A-List crowd like Johnny Depp has and even Brad Pitt also!

I loved the movies that they made in the 80's! They are a lot better than the movies today because the movies of today do not show as much of womens breasts like they did 20 years ago.

Hey... I love Johnny Depp's acting ability, looks, aura... you name it! The guy is a class act!

With that said... I also love this movie!

Its so ridiculous, but hilarious at the same time.

You don't watch a film like this expecting 'Johnny Deppth' ... you watch it for the T&A, hijinks, 'so bad its good', and if you feel like letting out the childish laughter that everyone tries to suppress just to look 'cool'. Who cares about any of that superficial crap anyway!

This movie is mindless fun! It was a paycheck for Johnny and Rob Morrow both!

Being that I'm a chick that doesn't mind looking at either of them butt-naked, its a nice sight for sore eyes!

I love your intentions ectoplasmicspace! I totally agree with you on that even though I just loved looking at the women in this movie though all in the nude! They do not make movies like this anymore and that is what I found so unique about USA UP ALL NIGHT!

They would show movies like this that anyone and everyone can enjoy watching on a Friday and Saturday night! It is a shame that I could not cuddle up watching a great movie like this with you ectoplasmicspace! I would not mind that at all!

I totally agree with what you are saying about this great movie! That is why I loved to watch it so much!

This movie was absolutely terrible. There was no plot. But I guess with nudity who needs a plot.

[–] RobBase086-1 17 years ago

That is what I loved about this movie was the nudity and I loved the movie though!

Lol
I'm sorry but
"Good afternoon sir, my name is Jacques.. Would you like a manicure?"
That's enough of a plot for me to be honest.
I love this movie.

Do you not have it on DVD? It's never on in England though so I suppose I had to get it on DVD to even see it once.
I made my friend buy it too though haha

[–] RobBase086-1 17 years ago

No I am sorry to say I do not have it on DVD. I use to see it all the time on a network here in the United States called USA Network but they cut out all of the B movies or movies like this.

All they want to show now is crime and drama shows and repeat the same movies over and over again. That is why I am trying to get back a show on the USA Network that would show this movie on there.

I thought this movie was great and I loved it!

I just watched the movie a few hours ago and laughed throughout the whole movie that it was that good! Being a typical guy I loved the nude scenes of the women in the movie. I loved it especially when Rob Marrow gave Hector Elizando that hair cut. LOL
