Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Little more than a series of sketches taking satirical swipes at well-hammered American institutions, this hodge-podge leaves almost everything to be desired. A runaway giant penis (offscreen) is lured into New York's Lincoln Tunnel; 'Jews!' yells a distraught father, his child seemingly menaced, as a bearded man in a black coat emerges from the sea. Chuck Vincent, his taste for nudity and sexual high jinks apparently dulled by having directed a string of porn movies, appears not to have lost an unamusing propensity for fevered tastelessness.
