Inserts is one of those "what the hell were they thinking?" films.
It's highly doubtful that Richard Dreyfuss was in the right frame of mind when he agreed to do this NC-17
borefest that takes place in exactly one room with four other thespians, three of them in the nude. If not for
Jaws coming out during the same year, he may have been stuck with this infamous
film on his résumé for a long time.
I get it: everybody can act. But the topic is of the "who cares?" kind. Anyone can make a porn film, and it
doesn't take any real skill or talent. To listen to everybody to drone on about "inserts" or getting the "rope" to
rise is tiresome. In other words, the writing is immediately stagy and will stay this way for almost two straight
hours.
All in all, everybody was lucky to see his or her career survive after Inserts.
