American Nudist

No matter how low you set your expectations for this film, the actual product will be worse.

What should have been mindless B-grade titillation didn't even live up to that. Instead you have some sort of faux documentary about a glamour model that somehow manages to be monumentally nonsensical and boring.

Then there's a parallel story involving a mob boss which is random and pointless.

To crown it all, it's pretty tame. They couldn't even get the trashy stuff right. A massive waste of time.

It's silly how nowadays some people look for excuses to show boobs (for me Game Of Thrones is one example). This "movie" is irritating in that sense. Also it's a bit offensive. Let me expand on that. On one hand, all the nudity he filmed (not the "documental" part of the thing) was exclusively women showing their boobs. Do you really need to make an excuse for that? You could easily have made a porno, and you could have banged your cast mates. That was all you wanted. Men can also be nudist, duh. On the other hand, it pisses me off the way the naked body of a woman must always be used as a way to sell things (PETA's adds are always with naked women, men are always dressed). Halfway through the film I had to stop, so, I just endured about 50 minutes. That's to say a lot IMHO.

worse than the Quintinshill rail disaster of 1915 wherein a train crashed into the wreckage of 2 other trains that had just collided, thereby starting a fire which set a 4th and 5th train ablaze.

Tony Young may as well have thrown his career into the lava pools of Mordor. his inability to produce or direct is surpassed only by his laughably inept and ineffectual attempts at acting. if not for the name of the film, only his close friends would have seen it, just like the rest of his calamities.

an insult to naturist communities everywhere.

hard-earned dishwashing money during the week wasted in an utterly dismal attempt at film making on the weekends.

the only bright spot is, ironically, a short, dark segment with Wendy McColm. sadly, even she could not hope to bloom in the wake of this travesty.

Let's face it: you're watching this movie for the nudity. Of which there are gratuitous amounts.

But the "movie" surrounding it is so bizarre and horrible that it's just painful to watch. It's just not enjoyable.

Expectations are low for acting and story in a film like this, but this..fails to meet even those low expectations by a long shot.

Don't waste your time.

To be transparent, I didn't make it all the way through this film. I tried, I really did, but I gave up -- something I very rarely do -- because it was such a hard slog. Aiming at times to be artsy, it just comes across as inept. I thought it would be an interesting view into the culture of nudism; I don't know what it's about, but it's definitely not about that. Awful.
