Plot
Blonde beautiful pop star Sexina is also a crime fighting private eye who discovers that a former rock star turned scientist has engineered a robot boy band at the behest of the evil bossman of Glitz records.
Critical reception
DVD Talk, “Sexina is not a painful experience, far from the worst the genre has to offer (even landing ever-so-slightly above the median), but it’s a directionless movie, a collection of middling jokes collected in a kitchen sink. Writer / director Erik Sharkey takes a bunch of ideas and refuses to make an overt effort to glue them all together, half-heartedly aiming at his handful of satirical targets with a looseness that practically disqualifies the movie from even being a spoof.”[3]
Broward Palm Beach New Times, “It’s all very stupid, very self-conscious, and in excruciatingly poor taste (witness the breathtaking number of gay jokes proffered by the football coach, Sexina’s assistant, and Mr. West). But by the time a would-be assassin is mauled to death for no good reason by a man in a cheap bear costume, you’re convinced that filmmaker Erik Sharkey is nuts enough to try anything. That’s worth a lot.[2]
