2.5/4
The things you'd expect to come out in a movie like this have a song based on them. The production numbers are hilarious... It was such a bizarre time in the 70s. Go to Full Review

3/5
Just as cheesy as you would expect based on the title. And when I say cheesy I mean the whole block of cheese. Hold your nose and dive in! Go to Full Review

And, of course, most of the women are exploited, except for Cindy Williams (on the Laverne and Shirley precipice), who manages to deliver a smart, funny and near-feminist performance...Future Soap star Diana Canova steals her moments... Go to Full Review

Its a dirty movie but not a smutty one, sunny and ebullient about sex in a manner that would quickly vanish from Hollywood entertainments. Go to Full Review

Robert P @Superbad Oct 20, 2026 The First Nudie Musical is a *3* star Movie! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 22, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch Jul 10, 2024 I stumbled upon "The First Nudie Musical" online, and let me tell you, it was a cringeworthy blast from the past. This ancient musical was so outrageously cheesy and dated that I couldn't bear to sit through it. Easily one of the most appalling films I've ever come across, this movie was clearly meant for comedic purposes, but it missed the mark by miles. Instead of the explicit sexual content we're accustomed to today, it featured a bizarre blend of comical nudity, with everyone prancing around in the buff. It was just... weird. Given the title of the film, I should have known what I was getting into. While I wasn't shocked by the content, I was still taken aback by just how far the movie pushed the boundaries in certain scenes. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone, especially not for younger audiences. It's best to steer clear of this cringe-inducing relic of a bygone era.

See more Aug 24, 2018 This cult film favorite follows along the lines of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (it was released one year after) but doesn't have the catchy score or quality acting that the latter film has. See more Apr 6, 2015 How could this be a cult classic? At the brink of bankruptcy, the production company must produce a pornographic musical to save the day. Filled with outrageous numbers and cheeky nudity. The First Nudie Musical is a flimsy comedy even laugh tracks won't save it. See more Read all reviews
