Not good, even for Jim Varney...


This is a weak film with the most derivative music score I have ever heard. At least two of the most prominent songs in it are near copies of popular 80s songs.

Fast Food is funny in parts, but that's not enough. It is too bad that Clark Brandon didn't make it as an actor, because writing feature films is not his bag...

I actually loved the soundtrack – most of it, at least. Do you remember what two songs resembled '80s hits?

As for the rest of this film, it was weak in almost every respect – especially the writing. Most of the cast looks bored, and Jim Varney looks distracted. The clock was running out on these types of sex comedies by 1989, and this did nothing to resuscitate the genre. 4/10 stars from me.

7 minutes in and it’s written and directed better than most films made today.

lack of nudity is the number one problem. it’s a movie about people turning into sex fiends. even has a wet t shirt contest that never happens.

Jim Varney in any movie is enough to make me never want to see it. But this thing looks obnoxious as hell with or without him.
