It was the first American film to receive an X rating by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA),[1][2] although it was later given an R rating. However, contrary to some allegations, it was not the first film to receive an X-rating in the United States; the first film to hold an X-rating in the country was in fact French-British film The Girl on a Motorcycle (also known as Naked Under Leather).[3][4]

De Niro reprised the character of Jon Rubin in the film Hi, Mom!, also directed by De Palma.

The film was entered into the 19th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won a Silver Bear award.[5]

Reception

Howard Thompson of The New York Times wrote: "Some of it is amusing, as when one of the lads is coached in the technique of draft-dodging.

Most of it is strained and unfunny, with some generous nudity for nudity's sake and a hip sprinkling of four-letter words."[6]Variety wrote that the film "has its sluggish sequences" but "[m]uch of the production has a freshness that is infectious."[7]Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called it "the funniest film since The Producers—and stylistically its superior.

It has the fresh and uninhibited wit of the best of the student films yet has the grace and control to sustain itself throughout its 88 minutes."[8]Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times awarded the film three stars and wrote: "What holds the film together is not its plot (there isn't one) but its attitude, its general instinct for what is funny in our society."[9] Despite some allegations,[10] the film was not the first to receive an X-rating in the United States.
