What Is That’s Adequate About?
The premise of That’s Adequate without spoilers.
The film is a satirical mockumentary that follows the fictional Adequate Pictures studio, a chaotic operation with no money, class, or shame. It features Tony Randall as the program’s host and James CoCo—playing the ailing studio chief—among a colorful cast. The piece lampoons everything from silent‑film slapstick to adult cinema and even showcases an ultra‑violent, three‑stooges‑style troupe that puts a fresh, gruesome spin on the classic eye‑poking gag.
