Accompanied by air-headed assistant Karen Mistal and macho guide Bill Maher (of Politically Incorrect fame), Tweed ventures into the deepest jungle, where the Piranha Women rule. Proof that this civilization is a matriarchy is the presence of a tribe of wimpy, domesticated men called the Donnahews, who chant names like Alan Alda and Fritz Mondale as their mantra. Fortunately, Tweed is armed with her N.O.W. membership card, so she is allowed safe passage. She finally catches up with Kurtz, who reveals that the avocado shortage is phony, designed by the government as an excuse to capture the Piranha women and transform them into Malibu housewives. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One of the best bad movies I've ever seen. In the dark unexplored Avocado jungles of Southern California, A sexy feminist professor must venture deep inside to convince the Piranha women (i.e. cannibal women) to leave their homes for lovely Condos in Malibu. I'm not making this up. One of the best lines is "there isn't a a feminist group that's advocates cannibalism, at least not since the 60's" Plus Bill Maher is in it.

One of those exploitation-spoof flicks that actually makes you laugh wholeheartedly. Well, maybe the only one, but it's still wonderful to watch. The 80's humor is out in full force, while both spoofing and genuinely being a sexploitation movie, in the vein of Austin Powers. A light, entertaining movie with a few good laughs. Great to pull out and watch with disbelieving and confused friends, and then watch their face melt into a wide grin. Oh, and Bill Maher is there too.
