Overview

Alice Goodbody follows an accident-prone hamburger waitress and self-proclaimed movie buff as she pursues her dream of becoming a star. Her journey takes a risqué and comedic turn when she finds herself on the set of a rock-musical film, determined to climb the Hollywood ladder by any means necessary—including amorous encounters with the cast and crew. The film steers straight into slapstick territory, as Alice's quest is continually derailed by a parade of on-set mishaps and misadventures. With its cheeky humor, physical comedy, and a protagonist who is both ambitious and endearingly clumsy, this 1970s sex comedy is more interested in pratfalls and punchlines than in playing it safe.
