Três Vidas em Conflito

I recently watched Money on the Side (1982) on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of ladies facing financial struggles, resorting to desperate measures for extra income while trying to keep their activities secret from friends, families, and law enforcement.

Directed by Robert L. Collins (Savage Harvest), the film stars Karen Valentine (Gidget Grows Up), Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Linda Purl (Mighty Joe Young), and Richard Masur (The Thing).

Money on the Side is a unique 80s film about prostitution. While the concept is solid, I wasn't fond of the incorporation of interview/therapy aspects into the main storyline. The acting is inconsistent, though Jamie Lee Curtis delivers a strong, relatable performance. The ladies are stunning, and the ending feels realistic.

In conclusion, Money on the Side isn't outstanding, but it offers enough worthwhile elements to make it worth a watch. I'd give this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it at least once.
