Rabbit Test - 1978 - 4/10

After a quickie, one night stand (actually on his back, atop a pinball machine) Lionel finds himself pregnant.
Comic implications ensue, especially after female shy Lionel meets a nice girl.
Written and directed by Joan Rivers (her lone directorial effort).
The premise has possibilities, and the cast is loaded with cameos of once-popular faces.
Biggest problem is there simply aren’t enough jokes, or flat out don’t land, or are beyond tasteless.
A brilliant comedian, Rivers would have been able to read a room and adjust.
Not here. Belly flop of a misfire.
