The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat
This sequel to the animated (and X-rated) cult classic Fritz the Cat has all the profanity and raunch but none of the infamous stature. And justly so -- Robert Taylor, subbing in for director Ralph Bakshi, aims to shock, with one story about Hitler and another about Fritz venturing into New Africa (formerly New Jersey), where the U.S. has exiled all the blacks in the country. Meant as social satire, this comes off as cheap and disturbing -- but only because you feel like you've wasted 80 minutes of your life. Borders on unwatchable.
