Tasteless does not even begin to describe this bizarre pornographic curiosity, which could have only gained a hip notoriety during the 1970s, and only have come from the director responsible for Deep Throat. A kissing cousin of Fritz the Cat because it presents the most explicit sexual situations through a traditionally child-friendly medium (there cartoon animation, here puppetry), Let My Puppets Come is one of those concepts that should have died at the "wouldn't it be funny if" stage. Starting with the image of a puppet dog and woman in flagrante delicto, the film eschews all foreplay in presenting its most vulgar taboos right off the bat, leaving the viewer groaning in regret at deciding to see what this movie was all about. From there, the scant 45-minute running time couldn't pass quickly enough. Even those fully in synch with Gerard Damiano's tongue-in-cheek tone probably won't get more than a few chuckles from the variety-show style presentation of short sexual interludes and naughty faux commercials. Of course, Damiano only made it to snub his nose at viewers who would be offended, and some would grant him points for that. Only for those hosting a "so awful it's almost kind of good" film festival, and those able to track down an elusive copy of this out-of-print disasterpiece.
"Damiano doesn't do much better in the directing department than with his acting (though he gave himself one of the movie's funnier moments in his appearance.) Yes, these kind of movies have low, low, low budgets, but imagination can frequently overcome the lowest of funds. There's no imagination in the cheap sets or settings. If Damiano had dubbed in some low chatter, turned the spotlights to point in strategic directions, and carefully used the camera, we might have been convinced the topless bar the executive visits was not filmed in someone's basement. Here and elsewhere in the movie, Damiano is just content to shoot the characters in extreme close-up. Also, despite all the attempts at humor, there is a curiously hostile mood to the movie; it's as if Damiano and the puppeteers were making this movie while feeling angry. There's no sense of fun, just a feeling that everyone was going through the motions and fed up of doing it"
