Back in the days when movies could be fun with plenty of laughs and not a lot of unnecessary subtext, there was this sweet, silly and often outrageously funny musical comedy with deliciously low-down songs. After all, who cares what the plot is when you've got Dancing Dildos, a naked chorus line and doughnuts? Sure, there was no budget, but that actually seems to reflect the can-do spirit of the film. Cindy Williams gives a charming performance, as does writer/co-director/songwriter Bruce Kimmel, who takes cluelessness to a whole new level. Also, look for Ron Howard in an unbilled cameo. Don't expect the works of Eisenstadt and you'll have a great time.

I saw this when I was 15, in the theater... I think we paid for something else and then snuck into this theatre. There were 5 people in the theatre and 3 left half way through.....Do you get what I'm saying. It was the first time I ever saw a fully naked women, I was male and 15.....and it was still only marganially entertaining. Some of the songs were good... This is a product of the 70s when movies like this and Fairy Tales, Flesh Gorden and such were taking almost adult movies(no plot lots of skin) to the mainstream theaters.While I am a major movie freak, I am not much on musicals, so if you like musicals and skin......Maybe.4/10

How crushing, to be confronted with irrefutable proof that naked people singing and dancing aren't REALLY enough, per se, to make a film entertaining. Who'd have thought? Unfortunately, if those naked people are singing and dancing in something like "Waiting for Guffman" without the parody, it gets tragic. The movie's a broad spoof that winks at itself, actually it pretty much elbows itself in the ribs and guffaws, unlike the audience, which is likely sitting there furtively checking its collective watch every few minutes. The nudity is entirely wholesome and non-pornographic, Cindy Williams is cute and very funny, a couple of the production numbers are clever, and the plot and dialogue just reek. The whole thing would appear to have started out as a terrifically cute stage play, sabotaged on its way to the screen by compromise, timidity, and tired schtick. Still, as with everything in life, there is a lesson to be learned here; in this case, the novel truth that it's possible to be far more embarrassing in clothes than out of them.

This movie should define the genre, with nudity and predictable plot but done in a way that the nudity is not the major theme, only spice. It would be worth watching without nudity, though it would not be as entertaining. If you like movies with stereotypical characters and lots of nudity, this is the one. You will not be disappointed with the acting, music. or technical quality except for the smoke filled first ten minutes where the effects are overdone.This is a really good movie, except it should have ended when the character "John" visits "Wanda's". Everything after this appears to be an attempt to end without purpose. When the sale is made, quit talking. It is really good until this point, which is about 1:15 into the film.Highly recommended. Just skip the last 15 minutes.
