An appallingly bad movie written & directed (or should I say perpetrated) by Joan Rivers. Your taste for her caustic, anything-for-a-laugh sense of humor will dictate how much you enjoy this. Billy Crystal is a twenty-something nebbish who's never been with a woman. A one-night stand leaves him pregnant. Zero laughs are mined from this premise as Crystal meets up with a lot of oddball characters (mostly refugees from "Hollywood Squares") from Imogene Coca to Roddy McDowell to Paul Lynde. McDowell plays two roles including one in drag. Lynde is a obstetrician! Alex Rocco plays Crystal's nitwit cousin and Doris Roberts is his lunatic mother. A couple of serious actors (Keene Curtis & Ron Rifkin) debase themselves as moronic doctors. You would never guess that Crystal would go on to a successful movie career given the fact that he shows absolutely no presence. Rivers doesn't direct a film as much as she shows a series of skits, one less funny than the last. Among those briefly popping up are Sheree North, Tom Poston, Charlotte Rae, Richard Deacon, Norman Fell, Alice Ghostly, Fannie Flagg and Rosie Grier. George Gobal plays the President of the United States.
