1982 Directed by Lloyd Kaufman, Michael Herz
A couple with marriage problems goes to Family Court, where a judge takes them back in time to view lovers through the ages.
This is easily the most charming and imaginative of Kaufman’s sex comedies. I was shocked that it was better than even The First Turn-On, the title and poster never gave me much hope. Now I’m pissed I spent years ignoring this. I mean...CHICKEN PORN.
Seriously one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen (and from me that's saying something).
NOTE: Troma is streaming this FOR FREE on their Youtube Channel.
Going for it:
* More competent in direction and editing than typical Troma/Lloyd Kaufman
* Some actual jokes that actually land
* Pretty decent acting (especially by Troma standards)
* Interesting oddball premise
* T&A-ish
* Interesting musical numbers with music that's pretty good
* A seemingly higher-budget, like this one actually could've had a theatrical release
* A Warner Bros. cartoon come to life in the form of a romantic comedy
Going against it:
* Still contains some of the violently lowbrow elements of Troma/Lloyd Kaufman that I've always been able to do…
It's like a freshman improv class wrote down every sketch comedy idea they could think up and strung each bit together with a romantic comedy story modeled on Airplane!. Some of the jokes are funny, but most fall flat. The most un-Troma Troma movie ever.
IMDb and Wiki pages:
I feel like I have a much better understanding of world history now. Who needs history class when you could just watch this and Bill and Ted.
I liked Waitress and Squeeze Play but this is the better of the early Troma comedies. Its got over the top physical gags, dick jokes, puns, dick puns and chicken porn.
This movie is tied with The Wacky Duo on Vacation for number of silly sound effects.

More surreal and inventive than I was anticipating. This early Lloyd Kaufman picture really showcases his creativity and wacky sensibilities. I woudn't say it's a cult classic, but it's pretty original, even by today's standards. Even though it's advertised as a sex comedy, there is very little sex or nudity in it. STUCK ON YOU! is really just a silly sketch comedy with some clever hooks.

I liked this 80's comedy from Llyod Kaufman and the Troma team.
It was a good b-movie that had everything you expect out of the genre.
Some good laughs and nudity.

Chicken industry produced sex comedy. Including caveman sex babes, gay caveman hair dressers, courtroom hijinks, innuendos and in your endos, a history of romance throughout the ages, many jokes about little people, body fusion, rapping rabbis, cultural appropriation, chicken porn, gay jokes, racism jokes, pretty lazy sex jokes.
Pretty grotesque treatment of animals.
This is troma I guess.
Really dumb, but quite fun. Has that crazy old comedian who was in Run DMC’s Rock Box video and Patricia Tallman, in what feels like a reprisal of her role in Knightriders.
Again, featuring its fair share of downright embarrassing groany jokes, this one is an improvement none the less. The narrative has a lot more focus, the photography is suddenly much better (glossy pastel VHS era colour), BANGING cover of “Love will Keep us Together” and some genuinely amusing gags here and there...I guess the big help is the genuinely sweet advocation of compromise and working toward a successful marriage. I do believe a lot of people give up too easily - but I want to clarify that people…

I usually dislike parody/spoof movies, and when they are unfunny on top of it you really have a train wreck. This is a terrible movie.
