Movie Reviews of Sextette
Movie Review: Nightmarish and Surreal
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to disagree with [a] reviewer , as this film deserves every bit of scorn heaped upon it and then some. Pity the poor cast as they try to maintain the illusion that the ghoulish, octagenerian Ms. West is some kind of a sex symbol. Run for ear plugs as she and Mr. Dalton mutilate "Love will keep us together" (not the best song to begin with but it deserves better than this). Recoil in horror as the reanimated corpse of Mae West spouts sexual innuendos that were stale 60 years before this film was made!Of course, even without Ms. West dottering around the set this movie would be unwatchable. The screenplay is dreck and it was seemingly directed by Helen Keller.
I watched this movie on a dare, and I'm convinced that God has knocked some time of my upcoming sentence in Purgatory because of it. Unless horrifically bad movies are your hobby this is to be avoided like the plague.
Movie Review: A great star descends into self parady
Summary: 1 Stars
The people who liked this movie seem to have done so in blind devotion to Mae West. Whilst their devotion is understandable hear it is entirely misplaced.An aging West is trying to portray the roles she did in the increasingly distant past in amongst a low grade farce involving former husbands and lovers.
An intresting member of the cast is Timothy Dalton playing a British Secret Service agent (basically James Bond) his performance here should have been warning enough that he was never given the role for real.
He's an aside though the film stands and falls on Maes performance and that's its biggest flaw she was past her prime and comedic best and rolling out tired gags and lame catchphrases (including the infamous "Come up and see me sometime" line) are no way to remember such a sterling talent
Movie Review: What a joke of a DVD!
Summary: 1 Stars
For those who are true Mae West fans this may be the only opportunity to see Sextette on DVD. If you don't want to dish out $10 to see one of the worst transfers in DVD history (and Rhino reps admitted to blindly obtaining a poor print), then buy this one on VHS! The tape is 10 times better in sight and sound than the disc (shouldn't that be the other way around?) and is still available.As for the movie itself, it's a joke but a true CAMP and CULT Classic. Paramount pictures originally made this movie and was so embarrased by it that they shelved it before releasing it! An independent Canadian movie company saved it from destruction. Rather that was a good thing depends on your interest in Mae West.
Movie Review: Terrific cast.........terrible movie

Where to begin...
I'm a big fan of Mae West and I was really looking forward to this movie. As far as I was concerned, it couldn't miss: A musical with Timothy Dalton singing, Mae West as a spy, Ringo Starr and Alice Cooper. What could go wrong? Everything went wrong. I was embarrassed for the actors. This movie goes beyond camp. Very disappointing.
I purchased this movie while I was working in the Middle East and as far as I know, its still in some land fill over there. I gave it 1 star only because there isn't a lower rating. Mae West once said that she didn't want Myra Breckinridge to be her last film. Much better than this drivel.
Movie Review: only to see and enjoy the great Mae West
