God bless the mad genius that is Frank Henenlotter, who has given us such cult classics as "Basket Case", "Brain Damage", and "Frankenhooker". His ideas are often wonderfully wild and here they're particularly outrageous, and sexually charged. Here he puts his own spin on the romantic comedy by creating a genuine pair of outsiders as the couple destined to get together: Jennifer (Charlee Danielson) and Batz (Anthony Sneed). These two are total sexual freaks; she's desperately searching for sexual fulfilment and that extra special relationship, he's obliged to deal with an enormous mutated penis with which he can actually have conversations (sort of like Duane and Belial in "Basket Case"). If reading this synopsis hasn't already put you off, and in fact intrigues you, you're likely to love the in your face raunchiness and relentless crudeness that this movie delivers. It does get a little tedious at points but thankfully still comes through with some memorable scenes. It's just way too hysterical to watch the climactic action; it won't be spoiled here, but it's got to delight at least some of the trash fans watching. And on the way to that bit of insanity, we're treated to as much nudity as viewers can want, in addition to the ridiculous sight of models wearing vagina masks (you read that correctly). Subtle this movie is not, but it is damned good fun. Leads Danielson and Sneed are incredibly sincere, and Danielson remains an entertaining performer to watch, as she provides narration and even does a bit of fourth wall breaking. Henenlotter fans will also appreciate the brief appearance of his longtime collaborator, actress Beverly Bonner. Gabe Bartalos's special effects are priceless, guaranteed to keep the audience in stitches. Overall, some viewers can see this as immature, yes, but its wacky sensibility is something sadly missing from a lot of more mainstream comedies. Eight out of 10.
score 8/10
