Fun and Games

About This Movie

So, 'Fun and Games' is this quirky little comedy from '73 that dives into the suburban life of a middle-aged couple. They stumble upon a copy of Screw Magazine, which sets off a chain of events that drags them into the world of swinging and S&M parties. It's got this darkly humorous edge, almost like a cautionary tale about the perils of trying to spice up a mundane marriage. The pacing feels a bit erratic at points, but it has this charming earnestness that keeps you engaged. Performances are solid but not overly flashy, which adds to the film's distinctive low-key vibe. It's definitely one of those films that captures the social mores of the time while poking fun at the counterculture's seductive allure.

This film has had limited releases over the years, mostly on VHS and some obscure DVD editions, so it's not as commonly found in collector circles. There's a certain niche interest due to its exploration of the 70s sexual revolution, which attracts both retro enthusiasts and comedy fans alike. It’s a bit rare, and while not a blockbuster, collectors appreciate it for its unique tone and the era it represents.
