The Awkward Customer

About This Movie

So, The Awkward Customer is a curious little piece from 1988. It centers around this woman diving headfirst into the world of lingerie parties, which, let’s be honest, has its own peculiar charm. The whole setup feels like a mix of awkward humor and unexpected exploration of sexuality. The pacing is a bit uneven, sometimes dragging in the middle but picking up with some surprisingly engaging performances. It's definitely not what you’d expect from a film of its time—there’s a certain rawness to the practical effects and scenarios that make it stand out. It’s a film that doesn't shy away from its themes, leaving you to wonder how far someone might go for a job, and it pulls off that balance of cringe and curiosity quite well.

The Awkward Customer has had a limited release history, making original formats quite scarce among collectors. Most copies floating around are often VHS, and while not particularly high in demand, there’s a niche interest for those who appreciate the offbeat nature of 80s cinema. Its distinctiveness paired with the era's charm makes it a conversation starter in collector circles, especially for those with a taste for the unusual.
