Undoubtedly the most bizarre film of Jennifer's career. It concerns a dysfunctional family, 60s style, with Jennifer playing a glamorous mother to a less than glamorous daughter (played by Holly Near). The story (what little of it there is) revolves around Near's character. She falls for a rock singer (Christopher) who ends up seducing every member of the family. Jennifer mouths several shocking lines ("I've made thirty stag films and I never faked an orgasm!") and seems hopelessly lost in the whole mess. The film becomes more bizarre as it goes along and soon resembles a hallucinogenic drug trip. A must see for Jones fans but believe me, once is enough!
