Dom DeLuise singing "Honey Pie". 'nuff said?, 31 August 2004
Author: bukakkefriedchicken from fabulous Las Vega$!

A masterwork of atrociousness, "Sextette" may well rival "The Apple" as the worst musical ever made. Mae West shuffles about in the feathers and beads of her youth, adoring her frightening visage in anything that casts a reflection (quite horrifying...beneath the golden locks of her very obvious wig, there must have been at least 15 pounds of Scotch tape and rubber bands) Her multitude of male admirers fall all over themselves in desperation for her affections, as a very pallid and disoriented looking Ms. West spouts her famed pre-code one-liners as though they were as fresh as a spring rose.

An amusing train wreck, with awful musical numbers that would make even the most humorless curmudgeon crack a smile. Essential viewing for fans of kitsch, but fans of Mae West beware. 3/10
