The Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the String is a 2003 American made for cable erotic film written and directed by Terry M. West. A parodic film,[1][2][3][4] it is based on the novel The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.[5][6] The film revolves around Dildo Saggins, a Throbbit, and other characters inspired by The Fellowship of the Ring: Queen Araporn, Ballem, etc; the plot mirrors the original story accordingly.[6]
The cast includes Misty Mundae in the lead role.[7]
Reception
[edit]Although admitting that the film, a "picaresque road movie", does "yields easily to the requirements of pornographic narrative" and includes "interminable footage of amateurs tramping in the wood",[6] Ernest Mathijs found the production was not without merit.[6] The film was also mentioned as an example of a type "post-modern cult" [...] "embracing the viewers as savvy and discriminating insiders".[8]
A review on the German website badmovies.de praised the production and its humour.[9] A review at Flipside stated that the film was "just as dimwitted and juvenile as most of Seduction Cinema's other Hollywood movie parodies filled with girl-on-girl sex and rampant nudit. But like The Erotic Witch Project and Play-Mate of the Apes, has enough goofy charm to keep it from the trash heap where Seduction titles like The Sexy 6th Sense and Mummy Raider reside."[10] A review by Vince Leo was more negative, stating that "It's all so silly, shot in the backwoods of New Jersey, and enhanced with some low-tech special effects, it has all of the look and feel of a bunch of Ren Faire enthusiasts and tech geeks getting together with a portable video camera (although this is shot on film) and making a spoof as a lark." and lamenting the film "lack[ed] quality sex scenes".[11]
