My Party Doll (1987)
"My Party Doll" (1987) is a film featuring Ron Jeremy as a video store clerk who experiences a fantasy when a blow-up doll comes to life. The movie is noted for its clever premise and entertaining quality, characteristic of Joe Sarno's later work. Despite its shortcomings, the film combines a fun spirit with engaging performances. The plot centers on Ron Jeremy's character, who develops a romantic interest in the inflatable doll, portrayed by Cara Lott. The story unfolds with humorous situations arising from his interactions with the doll, particularly when caught by his employer and others. Jeremy's comedic delivery adds to the farcical tone of the film. The ending leaves an open interpretation, reflecting on the character's experiences. The film features additional performances by Melissa Melendez and Alexis Firestone, while Damian Cashmere also plays a supporting role. Sarno, known for his softcore films, directed this under the pseudonym "Leif Knullar." Notable trademarks include specific scene transitions and a recurring set, which some viewers may find unconvincing. The video quality is described as decent for its time, with a resolution of 512 x 384, but suffers from poor clarity and typical artifacts found in late '80s films. A breakdown of scenes reveals a mix of hardcore content featuring various cast members. Overall, the film is a blend of humor and adult themes, showcasing a unique take on a fantastical premise while maintaining a nostalgic appeal for vintage film enthusiasts.
