After a mining accident has wiped out all of the male inhabitants of a tiny planet the women in the small town of Bushpucker Gulch (population 37) have adjusted their lives accordingly. The mayor of the town, "Delia Westwood" (Elizabeth Kaitan) and the sheriff "Sarah Parker" (Lesli Kay) manage to maintain law-and-order while the saloon keeper named "Lily" (Betsy Lynn George) provides a place where they can all let off some steam. Then one day an interstellar spacecraft crash lands near the town and suddenly everything changes dramatically as the sole occupant just happens to be a man. Now rather than reveal any more details about this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that it had all of the ingredients to being a really good film. The ladies were all quite attractive, the story had a good foundation and the comedy wasn't too bad either. Unfortunately, the director (David DeCoteau) was completely incompetent when it came to utilizing the assets that were available to him. For example, there were a number of sexual interludes involving at least one of the three lovely women mentioned earlier which should have been exciting--or at the very least somewhat interesting--but turned out to be extremely boring. The music was monotonous and the scenes completely lacked passion and sensuality. As a matter of fact, it would have been better to have cut away from some of these scenes and simply leave something for the imagination rather than to have continued on and on with them. But that is just my opinion. In any case, this movie could have been so much better but as it is I have to give it the rating it deserves which essentially amounts to one point for each of the three aforementioned ladies.
