Leave your thoughts about Sextette.
| Film SnobberyPhil HallIt is a wonderfully bad film, played with such ferocious tongue-in-cheek camp that its inanity has a peculiar charm of its own. |
| Film Comment MagazineGilbert AdairSextette is, of course, a bad film, shakily acted, carelessly written (from "a play by Mae West") and directed without an iota of style by Ken Hughes. What is striking, however, is the wholly relative degree of its badness. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumNotable only for Mae West and a cast of future movie names. |
| VarietyVariety StaffSextette is a cruel, unnecessary and mostly unfunny musical comedy. |
| User ReviewPaul DSo bad it's good! As if Mae West trying to be a sex bomb wasn't funny enough,she's married to a very young Timothy Dalton. There's loads of cameos from the likes of Ringo Star,George Martin,Alice Cooper and Tony Curtis. Possibly THE campest film ever made. |
| User ReviewJosh RMae West was well in her 80's when starring in "Sextette." Mea was slow- moving, but she still comes across as a sexy and funny actress. It truly amazes me how she can look so good and be so cool. Mae's costumes are so glamorous, and her makeup is really on point. The scene when she is visiting with those boys and finds her pink cassette is so funny. I know it may not be her best film, but it is still a fun, colorful, and campy film |
| User ReviewSenor CThis movie is enjoyably bad. From the corny opening song going "Marlo!" to bad singing from Dom DeLuise and Timothy Dalton, it's laughingly bad! |
| User ReviewSteve SSo awful and really hard to watch. Mae West was in her 80s when she made this and she is still doing all the jokes she was doing in the 30s. Also disgusting is the fact that every guy in this movie falls all over themselves trying to please her and try to get her in bed. The fact that she looks like a mummy doesn't matter. Everyone embarrasses themselves but Keith Moon wins just because he doesn't look like he knows what he is doing. |
| User ReviewLarry WThe most appropriate word would be "unfortunate." I give it a star only because West does manage to get in a couple of her classic one-liners, but really, I can think of no good reason for anyone to ever watch this movie. West fans it will depress. Camp fans it will disappoint. Anyone else, it will baffle. |
