Dom Deluise's feature directorial debut was a pretty big disappointment for me when this movie first came out. (I saw it at the Bellerose Theater, Bellerose, NY.) Dom Deluise and Jerry Reed were super likeable back then. Overall, the movie is pretty much a dud. It's one okay "funny" scene of people trying to fence stolen property after another. None of them standout. Suzanne Pleshette is quite dreamy in this movie but she's given nothing to do. "Hot Stuff" is not the worst movie ever but compared to the other comedies that were coming out at the time, it's pretty tame. Maybe a more seasoned director could have pulled this one off.
