Il film più pazzo del mondo

This movie seems to have been made from a very old dirty joke book. You can see the punchlines coming a mile a way, and yet there is something strangely charming about this movie. Perhaps it's the fact that something like this could never be made today. All I know is that The Little Red Riding Hood skit made me laugh so loud, I had to rewind it and watch it again. If nothing else, it is only 70 minutes long, so if you hate it, it won't be two hours of torture like most movies.

Yeah, the jokes are old and silly, yeah, there's no continuity. But I remember seeing it in a theater, that last 20 minute skit, the longest one, was gut-busting and so hilariously funny that it was worth the wait. I have never cried tears of laughter so hard before or since.

Everything else about the movie is dumb. It is hard to imagine how it was ever financed. I remember the reviews of the time putting it down and calling it a big dirty joke in the poorest taste. Well, yes, every sketch is an unoriginal 5th grade toilet joke. Everyone, except the last. That is a 6th grade toilet joke. But the joke is acted out and drawn out and actually something comparable to a vignette from Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex", only way funnier, if you can imagine that.

Those skit-style comedy movies have been my personal favorites, and this is one of them, combining a variety show such as HEE HAW with MAD Magazine. I could not recognize Robin Williams throughout the entire program, and where did he come from? Well, you will certainly enjoy this one IF you are addicted to X-rated movies. If not, then you're not ready for this. The jokes are pretty outrageous if you can take them seriously. Watch the scene where a pervert rides on a bus and you'll get the idea! My biggest complaint is that it's way too racy and raunchy for my liking, which makes THE GROOVE TUBE (funnier!) and THE SEX O' CLOCK NEWS (not very funny!) mild in comparison. Be cautious when checking this title out!

"Can I Do It 'Till I Need Glasses?" Is a collection of skits much like "The Groove Tube" or what "Saturday Night Live" would look like without the television censors.

Many of the skits are of a sexual nature and contain nudity. Some of the skits are funny and some simply are not. If you don't enjoy raunchy humor, you won't enjoy "Can I Do It 'Till I Need Glasses?". Everything from the Lone Ranger to riding on public transportation to being in court is spoofed.

The cast is made up of largely unknown performers. Patrick Wilson (The Abductors, Lady Chatterley's Lover) and Robin Williams are the only actors that I'm familiar with. If you're watching just for Robin Williams, it's probably not worth it as he's featured very briefly in two skits.

I first found this and it's companion film "If You Don't Stop It You'll Go Blind" at an old Carnival Video rental store in the early 2000s and decided to rent them, not knowing anything about them. Tons of this kind of stuff filled the shelves of video rental stores in the VHS era. Now, these types of movies are largely forgotten.

No real plot to this one, just a series of short skits acting out some VERY old jokes. I chuckled once or twice in the beginning, much to my chagrin. But even at only 73 minutes this film wears out it's welcome before too long and becomes stale and tedious (with some nudity sprinkled in here and there to keep you awake). Still as bad as this movie is (and that's pretty putrid), it's a comedic gem compared to pretty much ANYthing by Aaron Seltzer & Jason Friedberg (Date movie, Epic movie, Meet the Spartans) Also the song is sadly kind of catchy in a sad way.
