Critical reception

edit

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A cast of fresh-faced girls and clean-limbed young men cavort through this grindingly unfunny British sex comedy in apparent ignorance of the debilitating constraints of its coy, assembly-line plot. The discomfort of troupers like George Baker and Ian Hendry at participating in this tedious nonsense is, however, as apparent as the absence of passion from the decorous, dimly-lit lesbian love-making. A half-hearted attempt at placing the movie in a scientific context (by a last-minute voice-over warning against abnormal fantasies) is as strikingly unconvincing as all the permutations of sexual mimicry which have gone before."[3]
