The film has some easy and some earned laughs, half a dozen murders and, for those who can't wait for Porky's 2, the requisite Nude Dancing at a Wild Party scene. This devious comic contraption is set in motion by a husband (Bartel) and wife (Mary Woronov) so decent and affectionate that they could star in their own sitcom.
