Hothouse(1977)

Double dynamite!

Hothouse is a 1970s comedy following Larry as he attempts to seduce his tennis buddy Carl, only to find his apartment overrun with unexpected obstacles. A drunk painter, a cantankerous janitor, and a locked-out neighbor all conspire to derail his plans. The film's humor builds toward a raucous stag party scene, where a privately made film loop featuring underground star Joe Dallesandro is screened. What begins as a straightforward seduction quickly spirals into chaos, as Larry navigates the absurd cast of characters cluttering his space. The film captures the era's irreverent comedy style with its focus on sexual misadventure and slapstick mishaps, blending crude humor with the offbeat sensibility of independent cinema from that period.
