Bareback Salesmen

About This Movie

Bareback Salesmen (2013) is one of those films that straddles the line between raunchy fun and over-the-top absurdity. The atmosphere is charged, filled with a kind of playful energy as these salesmen go door to door, showcasing their various toys in ways that are both comedic and, at times, shockingly bold. The pacing swings from frenetic to languid, allowing for moments of absurdity to breathe, while the practical effects are surprisingly effective in conveying the outlandish nature of their demonstrations. Performances are a mixed bag, with some actors really leaning into the absurdity, while others seem a bit lost in the chaos. It’s distinctive in its unabashed exploration of sexuality and humor, with a certain rough charm that keeps it interesting.

Bareback Salesmen has seen limited releases, which makes it a bit of a curiosity among collectors. It was released in various formats, but the scarcity of physical copies adds to its appeal. The blend of humor and explicit content has led to a niche but passionate interest, making it a conversation starter in collections focused on adult cinema from the early 2010s.
