Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death
“These women are serious about their taste in men.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A feminist academic ventures into the jungle to protect America's avocado supply from a tribe of cannibal women. The low-budget adventure keeps interrupting its exploitation premise with jokes about sexism, consumerism and academic politics. Its dated caricatures sit beside some surprisingly pointed comic ideas.
