Sexual Pneumonia & Laziness

About This Movie

Sexual Pneumonia & Laziness is just one of those oddball comedies from the early '80s that thrives on its bizarre premise. The mix of absurdity and a somewhat serious social commentary on desire and identity creates a unique tone. The pacing is erratic, which fits the chaos of the protagonist turning into a pink monster when aroused—think a warped take on the Hulk. The practical effects are low-budget but charmingly executed, giving this film a certain raw quality. The performances, especially the lead, toe the line between sincere and outlandish, which makes it all the more fascinating. It's that kind of film where you either get it or you don't, but it definitely lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
