I liked it!
laulopez12 August 2005
I saw this movie on television many years ago and I remembered that I liked it very much! Yes, it was a little weird at the beginning but it had beautiful images from different locations in Buenos Aires's down town, the parks and the beach. The scene in the elevator and the tricks were nicely done. The characters and the actors were funny too. The music, with songs from Charlie Garcia are still classics! The script was simple and you have to know a little bit of the history that Argentina was living at that time when the movie was produced. Argentina hadn't have a movie industry, thats why it was very difficult to make movies. It seems that one was one of a few independent movies with a very low budget, that young people could make possible three decades ago. But, I think with a lot of imagination!

Alice Goes X-Rated!!!
meddlecore19 August 2022
Alice (played by the divine Kristen Debell) is a virginal librarian who still hasn't grown up and discovered her sexual identity.

That is, until she decides to pick up and read Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland...which transports her to a fantastical world filled with all sorts of lusty characters.

After fondling a rock, she meets the White Rabbit (the only seemingly asexual character in this story)...who then introduces her to the Mad Hatter (played by Alan Novak).

The Mad Hatter gives her her first taste of unmentionables, which she goes to town on like she's a professional.

Next, they meet Humpty Dumpty- after he's had a great fall- and Alice cures him of his impermanent erectile dysfunction.

They then make their way to the Black King's Court, where they witness the incestual relationship between Tweedledee and Tweedledum, before finding a beautiful young maiden riding a dark knight in public...which seems to be Alice's first exposure to interracial sexuality.

At the King's Court, we meet both the Black King and the cuckholded King of Hearts.

The Black King wants to break Alice in, but she only agrees to fool around with him, because she wants her first time to be with someone she loves.

Despite this, however, when the Queen of Hearts walks in on them together, she demands justice...seeking head from Alice as reparation for the perceived crime.

After being subjected to a kangaroo court, Alice is found guilty and forced to go down on the Queen of Hearts.

But she takes the first oppourtunity to make a run for it, escaping with the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter, before breaking off with a group of furries...who make her jump into a lake.

Next, she finds herself awakening back in the library, just as the boy that has been trying to woo her returns.

Now, Alice is ready to go all the way...free from all her inhibitions.

A truly entertaining masterpiece of trash cinema, and probably the best adaptation of Carroll's iconic tale.

While by no means perfect (there's some subtle racism and an anti-homosexual slur), it truly get's to the heart of the lude nature of the fairy tale genre of the salon era.

It's probaby not safe for children, and certainly not safe for work...but for consenting adults in their own homes...it's one of the better film to porn adaptations we have in this world.

Scenes previously removed by the producers have been reincorporated into the DVD version to create what is essentially a director's cut of the film.

And it's one fantastical x-rated musical comedy you are not going to want to miss.

Lewis Carroll would be proud.

6.5 out of 10.

The worst movie ever
giacomocasanunda2 June 2003
The imperialistic USAcentric point of view makes that Ed Wood's "Plan 9..." is the worst movie ever. Well, no, it isn't. This movie is! Not only for its lousiness and cheap budget but also for its pretentiousness. Is Alice in Wonderland done by talking mimes, in a fake spanish nobody talks in Argentina nor in any other spanish speaking country, with a certain wink to "modern" times.

As awful as catching you weenie with the zipper
