AltAss  Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)

Plot:                                           

The overall idea for the movie isn't as awful as the film itself but the main storyline also has far too many subplots that do compound the disaster.

Writing / Production:             

The dialogue is just plain awful and everything else is ridiculously over the top and gratuitous. 

Acting:                                      

Maybe the only thing in the film worse than the dialogue are the performances of everyone responsible for delivering the lines. 

Originality:                                                     

Perhaps this movie deserves credit for coming as close to becoming outright pornography as possible without crossing the line.

Overall:                                       

This movie is the epitomy of bad but I couldn't take my eyes off it.  Perhaps because it was deemed forbidden fruit by the ratings Nazis and maybe because that girl from "Saved By The Bell" I used to watch every Saturday as a child gets naked.  While the rest of the movie is laughable, the raw eroticism was as real as it was gratuitous.
