The makers of Vamps: Deadly Dreamgirls and Evil Ambitions return to reinvent burlesque for the '90s with this funny, sexy softcore spoof. A mock documentary along the lines of This Is Spinal Tap, the film focuses on director Lionel Backslide (David A. Levy) and his daring new production, entitled (not surprisingly) "Live Nude Shakespeare." A funny British documentarian named Emerson Bigguns (Michael Dennis in a performance reminiscent of Eric Idle) interviews the cast and polls audiences viewing the play in the famed Bovine, AR, venue, Theatre de la Merde. Evil Ambitions star Paul Morris shows up briefly as a hayseed, but the real point of the film is to offer extended scenes from the alleged production involving various attractive women doing striptease routines as other women read suggestive passages from the works of William Shakespeare. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
