I do not know whether Jonathan Yudis is the heir apparent to Russ Meyer, but he sure can make one crazy film.The current Governor of California had to beat another actor for his job - Mary Carey. The way she eats an ear of corn or pours honey all over her body will quickly make you forget the Terminator. Who cares if he'll be back when you have Mary.Now, to see Mary, we do have to put up with Hezekiah (Darrell Sandeen) and his "art." Along with a bodacious display of breasts, we have some blood and death, as befits a B-horror movie. But the wildest thing is yet to come!

Look, I'm not going to take a thing away from Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino when they take on the task of re-creating the classic B-movies of the Russ Meyer era -- but when you have $50 million bucks at your disposal to spend on state-of-the-art effects and every actor in town lining up to work with you, let's just say you're working with advantages that Russ Meyer would have sawed off his own leg to achieve.Jonathan Yudis did it on a real Russ Meyer micro-budget, and pulls it off beautifully.Pervert is an over-the-top spoof with deliberately hokey special effects, obviously fake violence, joyously cheesy sexploitation, and deadpan acting by a cast that's obviously enjoying what they're doing. If you're a fan of the Russ Meyer classics, this is a must-see movie.

Silly little flick that reminded me of an old King Missile song. It combined the staples of any good horror-comedy, mixing tons of nudity (arrousal very dependent on your opinion of fuller figured women though) with a fair amount of blood and off the wall humor that will cause some to laugh out loud and others just groan. I reside in the former for the most part. Sure some of the jokes fall flat and the movie runs a bit too long and can't maintain either the laughs or erotica for it's entire duration, but it's still a pretty good party movie to watch while inebriated or toasty. Lucky I caught it on Starz on Demand as I wouldn't have even heard of if it wasn't.My Grade:B-

The most unpretentious - thrown to the wind and splattered all over your face fun. I thought this film was going to be disturbing- but quite surprisingly , I love it more and laugh harder every time I see it. The soundtrack is genius. The acting couldn't be more perfect to fit the bill. The "dating" scenes , brilliantly executed. Hats off to the creative team who had the courage and folly to execute this extremely complicated B movie with style and finesse...and a hell of a laugh unlike any other film you have ever seen can give you- at least in my opinion (and I am a woman.) The bizarreness factor has you wavering between - "What is this?!" - to - "This is brilliant and totally unselfconscious!"
