Playing with a Full Dick

About This Movie

Ah, 'Playing with a Full Dick'—now that's a curious piece from '88. The whole premise is a bit cheeky, revolving around a bunch of guys engaging in a rather peculiar competition during a poker night. It's not your typical narrative; rather, it’s a loose, almost documentary-like exploration of male camaraderie and rivalry, marred with a series of outlandishly creative photo challenges. The tone is definitely playful, but there’s an undercurrent of seriousness about how these men perceive their relationships. The performances feel natural, like a bunch of friends actually hanging out. It rides a fine line between raunchy and earnest, making it somewhat distinct in its approach to the themes of masculinity and creativity.

This film has a bit of a niche following, primarily due to its offbeat premise and the sheer absurdity of its competitions. It was released in a limited run, and I’ve seen some early VHS copies floating around, though they don’t pop up often. The blend of comedy and somewhat serious undertones keeps collectors intrigued, especially those who appreciate cult flicks from the late '80s. Its obscurity only adds to its charm for those who enjoy digging through lesser-known gems.
