Features Some Like It Hot (1959)

TREKKIES done too mainstream

The filmmakers are obviously not going by their guts: they don't point out a single element of the stupidity of this obsession (possibly they assume the viewer already knows most of the information, but it is so condescending one would think not.) Not a thing is said about the damage that is done to a person by the corsets or the side effects of surgery. Everything is hunky dorry, la de da, but almost totally unfunny. (Joan Rivers and Carmen Electra(narrator) are just annoying) The filmmakers even suck the humor out of a line from a Russ Meyers movie by taking it out of context! The alleged irony they try at doesn't work because it comes out of the interviewees themselves, which makes it considerably less. This isn't a documentary: it's an E! feature: i.e., almost worthless.
