An explorer from Venus comes to earth to investigate life on earth in
the guise of an attractive young girl (Monika Ringwald). But while the
Venusians seem to perfectly know what humans look like, they have no idea
about anything else, so the explorer is sent to earth in the nude - not a
big problem at first because she apparently lands on the rooftop of a nude
gym (?), but once she's asked to leave because they're closing for the
night ... well, let's just say wearing clothes seems weird to her. Later,
our heroine causes some commotion in a dirty book store, goes down on a
man in a porn cinema because she thinks what's shown on screen is an
educational program, creates chaos during a nude photo shoot, and mistakes
a human baby for a crippled midget. During a wedding where she manages to
insult bride, groom and bride's mother in one sweep, she meets a drunk
womanizer who wants to deflower her - but apparently, the Venusians have
built a powerful forcefield around her pussy to prevent such a thing -
ouch! Oh, and in a strip club, the consummation of alcohol turns her all
green, and to return to natural (human) colour again, she participates in
a striptease act. Besides all these raunchy adventures and the sleazy
guys that come with them, she also meets one nice guy, Ian, who really
seems to care for her, not just her body, and once her pussy force fields
are turned off and she's given access to the whole human emotional range,
she submits to him, sexually, and abandons her mission to remain with Ian
for the rest of her natural life. As British softcore sex
comedies from the 1970's go, this one's actually pretty good: The
ill-conceived slapstick that seems to come with the genre is kept at an
absolute minimum, the naive and somewhat inhibited approach to the film's
subject matter (sex) actually works for the movie rather than against it,
thanks especially to its enjoyably silly yet not moronic plot, and Monika
Ringwald is actually quite good in her role as the woman who understands
nothing about life on earth. That all said, I'm not saying the film is a
classic of any kind, it's at best an enjoyable romp and a nice trip down
the sleazy side of memory lane - but it's one of the better trips you can
take down that particular road ...
