Lap Dancing

While the plot and production values are average for the genre, Lorissa McComas is not only breathtaking to watch (critical for this genre!), but shows that her acting ability is above-average as well with a truly heartfelt performance. Tane McClure gives a great performance as well, and shows off her talents as a truly gifted singer. All else being average, these two make it worth a watch.

Lorissa McComas stars as Angie, an aspiring actress trying to make it in Hollywood. She just landed a screen test for her first movie, but it requires she strip down to nothing on camera, something she's never done before. Instead of waiting tables like many other aspiring actresses, she gets a job at a strip club so she can learn to be more comfortable with her clothes off in public. Two veteran strippers show her the ropes, the ups and the downs, and the reality of being in the business. There's plenty of naked women and a few sex scenes, including two with Angie in them, but this movie falls flat in many areas. It's not bad enough to call a failure, but it's not good enough to be put in the B-movie elite. Therefore, this is the first movie I give a normal C to.....no plus, no minus, just a C. Cinemax should be running this, give it a quick look during your normal channel surfing activities.

My jaw almost dropped when I saw this film--The film actually delivered on what was implied in the title and more! Except for some fairly straight forward background material: Small town girl from Kansas, really Omaha, can't get arrested as an actress, so her friend gets her a job in a strip / lap dancing bar. Lo and behold, while in the club, about 25 - 33 percent of the time, a bunch of gorgeous, silicone enhanced girls are either lap dancing or stripping, mostly topless and in thongs, sometime nude!

This movie is billed as a "Flash Dance for the sensuous nineties". But not surprisingly, virtually no originality is shown in any of the dance / strip routines--although the level of staging and performance is surprisingly above par for a film at this apparent budget level.

It is more of a "Flesh Dance for the vacuous nineties".

I do look forward to seeing more from this production company, as they show a little bit more sophistication in editing out sex scenes to avoid the dreaded NC-17(R).

I'm not starting this off on a great note unfortunately Tane McClure is in this movie. I've never found her to be a great actress and her performance is pretty wooden in this movie. Lorissa McComas looks stunning as always, and delivers a nearly flawless performance for a b movie. She gives you everything in this movie you could ask for. I mean that in more ways than one. If they gave out awards for these typesof movies, she should've been up for one that's how good her performance is. Tane McClure wooden should go home with a razzy for her dead pan performance. R. I. P Lorissa this will go down as one of your best performances in my book.

This is the story of Angie, an innocent in H'wood who, in order to shed her inhibitions and win a starring role in a sexy movie, must learn to shed her clothes in a strip club. This movie should not be used as a recruiting tool for ingenues.

Tane' McClure and Kim Dawson are the two strippers who help Angie (McCommass, as lovely a young lady as has ever been naked on screen) discover her unrealized erotic potential. Both tend to go over the top a bit, but given the surreal nature of their characters and the situation, why not? Director Mike Sedan gives them their head (that's a horse term, not a sex term, folks); he's busy making sure the camera catches all the action. And there's plenty of it, onstage, backstage, in the club patrons' laps (thus the title), out in the alley, in a grocery store on the way home, and at whatever other locales I've forgotten.

Taken at its own level, this is a well-made cautionary tale about what you have to do to succeed in show biz. The fact that it's balderdash doesn't matter.
