Basically this is just a fictional tale of Chuck Barris going crazy trying to keep the "Gong Show" on the air and appease the censors at the same time.
Those sections of the movie are drivel--unfunny, really stupid and tedious with pointless drama thrown in.
But when they show unedited acts from the "Gong Show" this movie takes off.
The acts are sick and crude--and absolutely hilarious. My favorites are a version of the "Vatican Rag" (with one guy dressed as a priest and three other guys as nuns acting out the song) and some teenage girls sucking on popsicles that are--um--a very unusual shape and color. All the acts are good, but these two stand out.
I'm shocked that this isn't available in video or DVD! It bombed at the box office but so did "Ishtar" and I see tons of those available! Hopefully with the Chuck Barris movie being released soon this will be rectified.
Not a good movie but a very fun good-bad movie. And you get to see Jaye P. Morgan's breasts!
