Rent All Ladies Do It (1992)

Pure camp silliness. - All Ladies Do It review by MN

After regularly seeing ladies' bums peering out from covers of Tinto Brass videos lining the higher shelves at the rental shop as a young lad, I'd always wondered what the deal with these films was. Well, at last I finally know the answer: pure camp silliness. From the extreme closeups of bums and pubic hair, to the extremely ridiculous prosthetic phalluses the male leads have protruding from their zips for what seemed like half the movie. Only really good for a cheap laugh at what a very dated sex film looks like.

A completely sleazy & not very well-made film, but amusing in its own way - All Ladies Do It review by TB

I rented this because I was in HMV and saw that a whole load of these retro sex comedies had been remastered & re-released. They looked so bad & so terrible that I had to see what this was all about.

And the result is both embarrassing & also quite funny. The acting is atrocious and this is made more funny by the fact that the Automated dialogue replacement/ADR (the process of the actor re-recording their lines in post-production for audio clarity) has been done so badly that it often doesn't match up with the lip-syncing on the screen. So you end up watching a film where you frequently hear the dialogue which doesn't line up with the actor speaking, which just looks terrible.

As for the sexual element, this is just a non-starter. The lead actress, who to give her credit seems incredibly game for the various ridiculous scenarios she is put in, frequently disrobes and is surrounded by extremely awkward looking men who then unconvincingly give her a good rogering. And the director also seems to think that one way to really excite the audience is repeated extreme close-ups of her backside or pubic hair, of which there is enough to stuff a mattress.

But it is so camp and so silly that actually, if you are in the mood for a laugh, there is a strange pleasure (not in any way a sexual one,) in watching this cringefest.
