The english sex comedy genre has given us a lot of cringeworthy stuff but also some gems; sadly "Preaching to the Perverted" is not amongst them. Thematically it's almost a companion piece to 70's "Every Home Should Have One", but it falls short in almost every respect. The main problems are that it's incredibly slow (it takes nearly 45 minutes until the story gets going and over an hour until it gets interesting), and that the acting is somewhere between bland and atrocious. So, while the idea of conflicting emotions in the sterile fetish world has some merit, it never takes off because there's zero chemistry between the leads. Same goes for the fun; there ARE some nice gags here but too few and most of them executed with bad timing.
Overall, interesting mostly for fetish completists; as an actual comedy it falls a few inches short.
