Erin Grant has lost her job and her daughter in a child custody battle that places her little girl into the hands of her pill-popping and wheelchair stealing ex-husband, Darell. To get the money necessary for an appeal, Erin takes a job as a dancer at the Eager Beaver, one of the many Miami strip clubs that feature a clientele every bit as colorful and exotic as the dancers. When Erin's dancing attracts the lustful attentions of a deranged U.S. Congressman, she soon finds that he'll stop at nothing, even murder, to possess her. (official distributor synopsis)

If I hadn't read all those sarcastic comments before watching the film, it probably would have been a candidate for a Boo! rating. But even so, the scriptwriting and directorial cluelessness really caught me off guard. The producers must have been struck blind... I could forgive the complete lack of humor and tension, but the fact that it's possible to make such an unsexy story set in a strip club is, in a way, fascinating. Demi Moore may not be great, but she delivers her standard performance, which can't be said for all the actors involved. Overall impression: 20%.
