Rx for Sex

About This Movie

So, 'Rx for Sex' is this quirky little comedy from '78 that dives into some pretty outrageous territory. The premise centers on a gynecologist whose professional life spirals out of control when women can’t keep their hands off him. It’s got a loose, almost improvisational feel, lending itself to some unexpected laughs and oddball moments that are pretty distinctive for its time. The performances, while not exactly Oscar-worthy, have this raw charm; you can tell the cast is just having fun with the material. The pacing is laid-back, allowing scenes to breathe a bit, which can feel refreshing amidst more tightly edited films. The humor is a bit of a mixed bag, but that’s part of its offbeat charm.

This film has had a bit of a tricky history in terms of availability; it's not always easy to find on home video. The original VHS is somewhat of a curiosity among collectors, with later releases being less common. Its unique premise and eccentric humor give it a certain niche appeal, making it a conversation starter among those who appreciate obscure comedies from the late '70s.
