Lap Dancing

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).

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.

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

I thought this was fine for what it is: good eroticism. Sexy ladies in various states of undress and stripping. It is what it is. Although it is not listed on it's page here on IMDB, there are more than one version of this movie. When I first saw it back around 1996 - 1997, there were scenes in it that are now either missing or have been shortened. Some of the dance scenes are missing some full frontal shots, there is a scene where Angie and another dancer are in a corner grocery store where they flash the clerk to get free groceries, that scene is now missing when shown on Cinemax or Showtime. The sex scenes are noticably shorter also. I don't know why these changes were made, it would be nice if someone out there could explain this. I have personally had a lap dance from Lorissa McComas when she toured this area, the movie does not do her justice. She is much more beautiful and sweet in person.
