To
prove his worth, a young man named Gil needs to keep a job for a week
so that his girlfriend will agree to marry him. British comedian Jeremy
Bulloch plays the bumbling Gil who has a gorgeous fiancée, Annette
(a stimulating debut from lovely Jill Damas, stealing every scene).
She refuses to marry him unless he proves he can "keep it up for
a week," [i.e., keep a job for a week]. That actually doesn't
seem difficult, especially for perspective husband material, but it
results in Gil cheating on her about a dozen times. He
goes to work
for an employment agency called "Here to Service You"
and finds himself in a string of misadventures with horny female clientele.
He meets a libidinous female shrink, a ditzy housewife who gets her
toe stuck in a drain while taking a bath, three nubile sisters who need
a babysitter, and a three-way with a black nurse and her female doctor.
However, when Gil finds himself being seduced by a gay man, his girlfriend
comes to the rescue.
Typical
of so many other British sex comedies (ANYONE
FOR SEX?, SEX
FARM, ADVENTURES
OF A TAXI DRIVER, SCHOOL
FOR SEX, et al), this benefits from a swift narrative
by director Atkinson and the likability of the protagonist. Jeremy Bulloch
flirted with British erotica for only a short time, moving instead toward
television work until getting tapped to play Boba Fett in both Star
Wars V: Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars VI: Return of
the Jedi. Interestingly, Mr Bulloch returned to the big-screen
franchise 20 years later (this time as Captain Colton) for Star
Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005).
