Very poor, from regional hacks

To mis-paraphrase Steve Martin, pornography isn't pretty, and EAT is a prime example of what often goes wrong. These corn-pone soft-pornmeisters led by Whit Boyd made several movies that don't pass muster.

As sex farce, it is tedious and repetitive, built around a dumb premise, and then proceeding to run that premise into the ground.

Judy Farr is Merrie, a stripper and a prostitute living at a boarding house that is actually a brothel on the q.t. Her little sister Renee is sort of a lookout - ringing a gong in the hallway to signal changing of the whoring guard as each room hosts a trysting couple. The actress playing Renee is credited in IMDb with four of these lousy films, her stage name spelled 3 different ways, all of which look like misspellings, so we can assume she had a lousy agent.

With the cast often speaking unintelligibly with thick Southern accents, it's a chore sitting through this junker, and the cast is unattractive to boot. The print preserved for posterity (posterity never got a vote on this) by Something Weird Video is censored in an almost-amusing old-fashioned way: a black spot is etched crudely on the celluloid to block out the pubic area (sort of) in any full- frontal nude shot, almost as annoying as the idiotic censorship of optical blurring used on Japanese erotica.

The team's next movie PARTY GIRLS is hawked at the end, but thankfully that one seems to have been lost.
