Happy Hooker Vai a Hollywood

This movie purports to show us the background to how the orginal "Happy Hooker" movie was made (with Lynn Redgrave in the original). Hollywood parties abound with producers telling Xavier how successful the movie will be. Imn fact, both movie, this and original look like they were made on about $30 budget, with compellingly awful 1970's cheapo production values. Martine Beswick has a nice figure, but hardly worth the intellectual insult required to make it to those scenes. Absolutely ghastly in about every sense.

By the way, that's A-dult (A like "ham," dult like the regular saying).

Anyhow, "The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood" is one of those films that are like, "Uhh...I really shouldn't be seeing this stuff!!!!!" Yes, I know this movie is chock full of nudity. I can tell because I heard that Batman is nude in this movie! (The Fox Batman, as you can tell; not the WB Batman!) How surprising, I may never see Batman again! "Holy (insert any word here), Batman! How can you get to that point in your career!," as Robin would say. (I'm sure he'd be nude, too).

That's my reaction to this naughty little flick. Heck, even those bots of MST3K fame would never riff it, because it's that naughty! While this movie gets ten stars, you'll need to bless your home theater center after this for that bad thing you watched on it!!!!! Then, you'll need to find a better flick than this!

This is the only one in the series I've seen. Maybe I'd like it if that wasn't so. I researched the woman and the book briefly before putting this on; it's considered to be an important part of why sex became a less strained subject(although we appear to be moving backwards on that now, as more people are focusing on their careers than their love-lives), and I can certainly appreciate that. But this is 81 minutes of crap. It has nothing to say(other than perhaps "Hollywood is sleazy", however, even in 1980, that was old news, downright ancient), it has no purpose, and other than camp, it has nothing to offer the viewer. Well, T&A, obviously, though hardly any of it is erotic or attractive(it seems to be played for laughs, instead). This is about making a film out of the novel... you know, what the first of these movies were. That right there is way too complex and meta for this. I'm not saying something like this can't be smart, no, I'm pointing out that it insists that it can't be. Other than one, *maybe* two lines in this whole thing, the dialog is embarrassing and awful. Too little in this is rational; why would the producer think a picture claiming that the Church is responsible for her prostitution would do well, wouldn't they barely be able to release it? Did these three earn a lot? I hear that this is the best, the one that is put together with most skill, and that is just depressing. The acting is terrible and flat(I guess Batman *wasn't* gay... huh). Every joke and gag is powerfully unfunny, and this literally uses the freakin' "waaah-waaah"-trumpet, yeugh. This uses exaggerated cartoon sound effects. No, I've seen worse, I've hated flicks to a greater extent than this, but that's like saying that there are worse, smellier garbage dumps out there. There is some nudity and getting' it on in this. Only about half of it is hot. I recommend this to... I don't know, fans of the first two, and of exploitation cinema. 1/10

The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood (1980) is a movie that was recently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a prostitute who writes a book that does well and goes mainstream. She signs a movie deal that falls apart so she decides to make the movie on her own. Her former investor tries to sabotage her project but she fights through the attempts to try and make a movie as successful as her book.

This movie is directed by Alan Roberts (The Sexpert) and stars Martine Beswick (Thunderball), Chris Lemmon (Wishmaster), Adam West (Batman), Dick Miller (Gremlins), Phil Silvers (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum) and Richard Deacon (Birds).

This has a surprisingly impressive cast. Seeing Adam West do a soft porn movie really threw me off. His pool scene had me cracking up. The storyline has a 70s grindhouse feel to it and is fun to watch unfold. The circumstances are really unpredictable. As you would expect, there's a ton of sex and nudity in here, at times awkwardly so; although, the jungle scene was awesome.

Overall, this is a fun sexploitation comedy with a 70s feel to it and an entertaining premise. I would score this a 4/10 and recommend seeing once.

How do you give a logical review to such a silly movie? The "funny" part is that it actually tries to be serious at times. Though the Happy Hooker is pleasant to look at (since she's nude most of the time)the rest is a BORE. Poor Adam West, (TV's Batman) proves once again he can't get a good part. Leap'n Lizards Batman!
