Plot: Woody Allen's in-name-only adaptation of the once notorious sexual reference guide by Dr. David Reuben contains seven episodes based on helpful questions answered in the book. In Do Aphrodisiacs Work?, Allen appears as a court jester who uses a love potion to spark the erotic interests of the Queen (Lynn Redgrave). What Is Sodomy? stars Gene Wilder as a doctor who throws away his marriage, career, and position in the community when he falls madly in love with an Armenian sheep named Daisy. Why Do Some Women Have Trouble Reaching Orgasm? is a parody of stylish Italian films of the '60s in which a slick playboy (Woody Allen) discovers his wife (Louise Lasser) can climax only when they make love in public places. In Are Transvestites Homosexuals?, Sam (Lou Jacobi) has his little secret revealed at a most inopportune moment. What Are Sex Researchers Actually Accomplishing? features John Carradine in a great parody of his mad-scientist roles as Dr. Bernardo, whose research into human sexuality has led to a fearsome mutation -- a 50-foot tall female breast! What Are Sexual Perversions? takes us to a broadcast of the popular game show What's My Perversion?, in which Jack Barry leads a panel of celebrities (including Regis Philbin and Robert Q. Lewis) in guessing the erotic obsessions of their guests. And What Happens During Ejaculation? takes the audience inside the body of a man in the throes of passion; The Brain (Tony Randall) guides the body's functions, with the help of his assistant (Burt Reynolds), while Allen plays a nervous sperm cell not sure if he can make the big jump. While the quality of the episodes is uneven, the best rank with the funniest moments of Allen's career, especially Gene Wilder's touching romance with the sheep (I think we can make this work, Daisy) and the final sequence inside the male body (What if he's only masturbating? I'll end up on the ceiling somewhere!). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Some very funny stuff here!

The price of the movie is worth it just for the Gene Wilder scene! And What's My Perversion, too! It's perhaps a little uneven, but it has some very funny stuff in it. Good early Allen, with great performances.

Humor -unlatched again

I will move with dispatch to unlatch the catch to this humorous rematch...

This movie was a howl when it first came out as a parody on the book of the same name.

'not the same impact now, but still funny -especially the last chapter.

This is a very funny parody of pop sex-psychology literature...

The film is entirely about sexual perversions, even though it is not technically erotic... Allen has taken some of the most popular clinical treatments of sexual fetishes and has placed them into very unusual situations...

Gene Wilder, for example, falls in love with a sheep; Woody Allen plays a medieval court jester who gets his lance stuck in his lady's chastity belt while the king is off fighting in the Crusades; a giant breast is released upon the countryside; an Italian couple can only find happiness in public sex; and we are taken into the inner labors of a male human body as it tries to seduce a woman in a car...

Each individual scene is quite well done... The tales are rapid filled with irony about the overly exaggerated importance of sex in our culture...

Typical dry and senseless Woody allen humor!
Added 5/8/2008
This is a film that will leave a lasting impression on the viewer, but not because of it's clever writing, content and filming. It will be because of some of the most low based and stupid humor on film. There are some funny moments, but they are so few that you wonder why you even spent time watching it. This film does not show the best of Woody Allen, in fact, almost just the opposite.
