Another one from the Big 80's. I seem to be the only person on the planet who loves this movie. Saw it in 1985 on VHS and found a copy once again. Although some of the gags have worn a little thin, it still holds up.
Slim Pickens and Phyllis Diller run a cheap adult-theme motel somewhere in California. Pickens is absolutely certain their theme (pink outfits, pink walls) will be a gold mine. His wife isn't so sure and dreads every customer who walks into the lobby.
Four stories about the battle of the sex and sexes are inter-woven. The first has two graduating high school seniors deciding to "make it special". The second concerns a football player and a call girl. The third, a pair of swinging Lotharios and their conquests for the evening. The fourth story is about two lawyers who need a place to rendezvous.
Most of the actors were involved in TV production at the time, and the quality of acting shows. Some of the scenes are also talky, making me wonder if this wasn't supposed to be a made-for-TV movie at some point in production.
Of course, everyone in the movie has a hidden secret which drives the plot. The lawyers are meeting in private because the male half is married to someone else. We soon learn that the football player has never been with a woman.
The best line is delivered by the lady lawyer: "You just went from a bastard to shit head!"
A hilarious movie, which has a bitter sweat ending.
