Dustin Putman

A gloriously unpretentious gem just waiting to be discovered. That the film hasn't yet received the full respect it deserves only adds to its charm.

As far as ‘50s-styled cornball tributes to heavy-petting go, Grease 2 has got nothing on Prince’s “Jack U Off.”

Without a doubt the greatest sequel to a Stockard Channing musical starring Adrian Zmed!

In its sheer awfulness, it is one of the best camp entertainments you could ever find.
