Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask (1972)

Divided up into seven chapters, each answering a question.

The most successful segment is the last -- "What Happens During Ejaculation?" -- which lets us peek inside at the little people running all of the centers of the body, including a priestly conscience attempting to prevent erection. There were a couple of chuckles in the rest of the movie, but most of situations were straining hard. And, apparently, Woody Allen believes that "sodomy" means "bestiality." I understand that one can sodomize a beast, but...um...nevermind.

The least amusing Woody Allen comedy by a wide margin. And yes, I've seen Celebrity.
