Roger Ebert on shrooms?
15 February 1999
Roger Ebert and Russ Meyer are as compatible as orange juice and tooth paste, but they come out with one of the classics of camp in this movie. If you rent this movie expecting a celluloid masterpiece, you picked the wrong movie. The dialogue is funny when good, but painfully annoying when bad, especially the final narration. The plot is intricately woven, juicy and is as unbelievable as a soap opera. The acting is pure camp, with the exception of standouts.

The plot is so freaking long I'll simplify it by saying it's about three girls and a manager who venture off into L.A. in hopes of making it big. They fall into the cesspool that is showbusiness. All plots connect together at the end, which the cheesy narrator mentions anyways before the credits. I'd have to say the movie was good for what it was and the quotability was good (Watch for scenes sampled by various groups [Roni Size, Sublime, etc], and movies[Austin Powers]). Very funny, very shocking, something Roger Ebert sober would give a thumbs down.
