    Carry on ... Salesman

    No pun intended - actually it has been a while since I watched a Carry on movie ... this may be a bad comparison ... on the other hand, the innuendo used here is quite in the open ... well inside houses mostly, but you get what I am trying to say I assume.

    There is a lot of nudity and there are a lot of steamy situations. But it mostly is made with comedic touch ... well amongst many touches that are being done - sorry for the pun.

    Acting is quite well for a low budget movie, it is more important that you are down with the humor - because that is always in the eye of the beholder ... and it is quite silly in this case. Just saying - and be aware of that. I thought it was well done ... but again, you have to be aware of it beforehand.
