    An Instant Classic

    How can a guy not love this movie? First of all you have Barbara Niven in it who currently is on Pensacola Wings of Gold. Second, the actress that plays Sarah has the best body. Third, what is wrong with too many shower scenes? All I know is I'll take this movie over any other HBO special any day.

    amusing 'chicks in prison' movie

    This is a VERY bad movie, but that's half the fun of it. It starts out as a typical chicks in prison movie then when they get bored of that it becomes a 'buddy movie'. Copious amounts of nudity and unneccesary shower scenes, incredibly bad acting and one of the worst scripts imaginable make this an entertaining exploitation flick. Oh yeah, and the character 'slash' (the REALLY bad actress) used to be a porn star.

    This is what all movies should be

    No pretense ....but just exactly what all movies should strive to be..period.

    Showers, Showers, and more showers

    awesome women in prison movie. You had it all, dresses getting ripped off during fights, strip searches, conjugal visits(where the FBI undercover agent had to pretend to be doing it), and many many shower scenes. It was a shame though because the really cute gard who became the FBI agent's buddy towards the end said she was going to take a shower, but it didn't show it! All this TNA was built around this really lame plot about a drug dealer, named Rico of all things, who fronted as a fashion designer?? give me a break, he was supposed to be this big macho guy, but ... No wonder his hot girlfriend tried to rip off his code book. This guy couldn't satisfy a woman if his life depended on it. The acting was really bad, but as long as the women kept up the showers who really cares.

    wow. and what the heck were they thinking??

    Two different views of this movie. First off, it should be in the comedy genre, because it is friggin hilarious. The plot and script are so bad, you can't help but laugh...EVERY TWO SECONDS! Horrible acting, and I mean HORRIBLE...very low production values, and ridiculous stunts and fight scenes. I'll have to agree with the other commentor on the fact that Sarah had the best body...wow, she was amazing. It's a shame a girl that hot has to be in such horrible movies. If you like B movies, you might like this...but not many others will. 4/10
