Review: 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' is at times hilarious musical parody and not as raunchy as the title implies

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas   R   

            Colin Higgins, Parton, Reyonlds, DeLuise and other 80s icons team up in this outrageous comedy set in a house of ill repute based on a then popular news story. Parton plays the Madame of the house and ironically Reynolds plays the sheriff. (He was most recently the Bandit). It's really not as dirty as the title implies but most 1980s 'sex comedies' would be considered PG 13 today. When the insane local politician attempts to close down the town Chicken Ranch, the townsfolk try yo put and end to his career. Has great musical numbers too. The cast are all 60s through 80s stars, some from film and TV. It's actually a big cast of talent.
