Annie, a Lourinha Cobiçada

Silly throughout, you will never get tired from it. Here you have a all-American girl who works at a diner. Here aunt is behind in her payments, and she meets all kinds of weirdos in Miami, Florida. She meets a man with a Napoleon complex, a conman, and other unsavory characters. But she knows how to have fun in a time of uncertainty. This movie has lots of sex appeal to boot. And it's good for a hot Saturday night.

3 out of 5 stars.

With a title like "Sixpack Annie" I'm sure your expectations are low. I'm not sure how to rate movies that are so bad they are good. This is like a mildly raunchy episode of "Hee Haw" if you are old enough to remember that. This is not a movie you want to watch sober. The lead actress is fun to watch.

As a serious moviegoer, you should periodically spend ninety minutes or so with a picture such as this one. You will clear your mind of such considerations as camera angles, lighting effects, directorial nuances, and similar aesthetic clutter. There will be no demands on your analytical abilities or your appreciation of cinematic excellence. You will forget your troubles, lose yourself in the sheer mindlessness of it all, and probably enjoy yourself immensely.

Warning: Don't watch it a second time. You will be left wondering how you not only could have sat through it once, but genuinely liked it.

Then watch it a third time to see which previous impression was correct. I dare you.

Sixpack Annie (1975) is a movie that I recently watched on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a young lady who wants to save her family business. She decides the best way to do that is to find a sugar daddy, but that task ends up not being as easy as she thought it would be.

This movie is directed by Fred G. Thorne in his directorial debut and stars Lindsay Bloom (The Dukes of Hazzard), Jana Bellan (American Graffiti), Bruce Boxleitner (Tron), Joe Higgins (Burke's Law) and Ray Danton (The Longest Day).

This movie is all over the place, but I loved the soundtrack, era, cars and random circumstances. Annie and Mara in this are smoking and there's a worthwhile skinny-dipping scene in this. The jokes are inconsistent with some being hilarious and some being cheesy and corny. The ending was fun, and this movie did a great job not taking itself too seriously.

Overall, this is a very average movie that is still worth a viewing. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

AIP ventures into hicksploitation via much cussin', beer drinking, brawlin', a sassy buxom heroine, a lustful Sheriff who slips on a banana peel, two old geezers telling corny 'take my wife' type jokes n' cameos from Billy Barty and a blacked-up Ray Danton...plus lots of plugs for Dr Pepper. Its rather like a big-budget version of a Harry Novak sexploiter (even the poster seems very Novak-ian) had Novak cut down on all that there fornicating and sold his soul to Dr. Pepper
