The Fat Spy (1966)
8/10
Very funny movie

Warning: Spoilers
Yes it's bad but I think that is the point, it was meant to be. The music was quite good, I especially like it when Jayne sings "I'd like to be a rose in your garden" the song is very witty and full of innuendo kind of like Jayne herself. The scene where the guy goes down into the sea to be with the mermaid had me laughing hard and so did the scene when Junior (Jayne) is flying the plane and then casually mentions that they are running out of gas, they way she says "Irvin we're running out of gas" and he replies "Thats nice dear", just the way it's said is funny. Another scene that made me giggle was when the teenagers are doing "The Turtle". As for the plot well I admit it's confusing, there seems to be a number of things going on, a bunch of teenagers goes to this Ireland to dig for treasure on this Ireland there is a guy called Irvin and Jayne's character, Junior, is in love with him but thats about as much sense I can make of it. Your like this movie if you have a completely silly sense of humour like me, love Jayne Mansfield and don't take life to seriously. If you take it as a low budget movie with a confusing plot and you watch it not expecting a great movie, with the spirit that it in meant then I'd say go ahead and watch it. But for someone who takes every movie they watch seriously then avoid this.
