In the context of pragmatic productions to line the shelves of video-rental shops, Auntie Lee’s Meat Pies is a product perfectly crafted for its target audience and the associated rating constraints, as it offers would-be erotic steaminess for twelve-year-old boys weaned on secretly leafing through Playboy. It is pleasantly surprising with a relatively generous budget, which was spent not only on assembling a fine ensemble of familiar faces, but also on opulent and meticulous sets. At the same time, however, it can’t conceal its roots with typical shortcomings such as the empty milking of the basic concept and stretching the runtime with dialogue about nothing. ()
