If you want some good solid laughs, you've got to see this unexpectedly hilarious movie! On the surface, you'd think that The Love God? is going to be the worst clinker in movie history. The editor of a failing bird magazine falls into the hands of a manipulative smut peddler who turns Peacock Magazine into a sexual revolution Playboy knock-off.
However, with a cast of great comedic talents and a script that will keep you laughing all the way through, The Love God? surprisingly rates as one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Nat Hiken is a comedy genius who brought laughs to Sargeant ... Read More

Before there was Jim Carey, believe me, there was Don Knotts.
Jim is a master at contorting his face in any number of comical ways
but let's face it...then there is Don Knotts.
Don wrote the BOOK on facial hysteria! His numerous facial twitches, bug-eyed wonder and slack-jawed dumbfoundedness are a thing to behold.

Rating: - Don Knotts
This movie is an all time favorite. Don Knotts is at his best. The bird calls are funny every time. When we want to just kick back an have fun, we watch this movie.

Edmund O'Brien and Anne Francis had both been feature stars, and they are ably abetted by a half-dozen vivid supporting actors. (The best of these is the great James Gregory as a legendary First Amendment attorney. What scenery chewing! You will never forget the sneering contempt in Gregory's voice as he defends "this filthy little degenerate" in court.)
By portraying the Swinging Sixties and its sexed-up icons as silly creations ... Read More
Rating: - I'm sorta fond of "The Love God"...
I was diggin' through the used DVDs section at my favorite used-movies-and-music joint the other day when I came across this title. I got curious when I read the movie's title along the DVD case's spine (why the question mark after the title? I'd find out soon 'nuff), then I got curiouser (?!) when I saw Don Knotts on the cover as a would-be Hugh Hefner decked out in one of Liberace's hand-me-downs, surrounded by a quartet of groovy-lookin' bimbettes. Then came the deal-sealer, one of the greatest movie tag lines ever:
