Naughty Nanette

About This Movie

So, Naughty Nanette is a strange little comedy from '85 that treads into some pretty uncharted waters. You've got young Nanette, who stumbles upon her mom in a rather compromising position, which sparks her own awkward journey into the world of sexuality. The film has this odd blend of naive charm and raunchy humor, with a pace that feels both breezy and a bit erratic at times. What stands out are the performances - the actors play it with a sincerity that’s almost endearing, making the more risqué themes feel less seedy and more like awkward adolescent exploration. It's not everyday fare, and the practical effects, along with some questionable choices, give it a unique texture that some collectors appreciate.

Naughty Nanette hasn't seen too many releases over the years, which adds to its appeal among collectors. Originally released on VHS, it's become somewhat of a rarity, with few copies surfacing, especially in good condition. Interest in obscure comedies like this one continues to rise, and its unique premise certainly adds a layer of intrigue for those who appreciate the unconventional side of 80s cinema.
