Sloppy Seconds (1994)

Dec 31, 1994 1h 21m Comedy

At Sloppy Jo's Café, you can get turkey, meatloaf, chili - and for dessert, it's Debi Diamond's bod, encased in shimmering white fishnet pantyhose. The waitresses are ogled by a various group of male customers: the Drifter Boy, the merchant Seaman, the Mysterious Stranger, the Sinister Guy, the Rodeo Cowboy, and the Hobo Hitchhiker; all looking for lust.
