Lap Dancing

Why so many commentators see this film as worthless and a "turn off" eludes me. It has probably the best erotic dance (stripper) scenes I have ever seen on film. Kim Dawson is just awesome in her dance scene

One of the best stripper films I've ever seen with the charming Lorissa McComas showing off her well endowed self. Also a fine exotic dancer scene with Kim Dawson.

The film is somewhat marred by having the male lead as a blind guy, a dumb gimmick indeed. Does he get his kicks out of smelling the girls do their routines?

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.

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.

i have seen many b flicks in my day. this is by far one of the worst. i give lorissa her kodos she is a beautiful women however her acting leaves a bad taste in your mouth. i have seen her in others and it doesnt get better. if you want to watch t and a with no substance then rent or buy this video mccomas is nice to watch just turn down the volume so as to not subject yourself to her acting. another movie of the time called erotica was much better in the plot area not as nice to watch but much better to the intellect.
