The effects are crap, the film is campy and makes no sense, but god damn Jane Fonda is AMAZING looking.
The opening scene is cinematic gold. Jane Fonda doing an anti-gravity striptease? Boobs? It's edge of your seat viewing. Great stuff. But it all goes downhill from there pretty much. Well, her costumes are pretty outstanding, and she seems to change them very frequently, but other than that this movie kinda sucks. I don't understand the idea behind it. If it's a comedy, it's not very funny. If it's anything but a comedy, then it's far too campy to be taken even remotely serious. It exists in this grey area. Weird stuff. It's not that the humor is too dry or too subtle…it's just crap. John Cleese could have turned this into a masterpiece!
But honestly none of this matters. Who cares about the plot? It's all about Jane Fonda. Short of doing a lesbian porno this is the next best thing. She's a goddess. I don't care what she said about Vietnam. She is the bomb.
