Watched online, mediocre print, 59min.
Another poster, with the alternate title, touts 3D.
Red flags:
Writer/director/producer/editor KK.
Banal voiceover narration throughout the film, mostly describing what's onscreen.
All names are unfamiliar, and the crew list is sparse.
Nothing on the Soundtracks page.
DA portrays the writer of the book on which this is based.
We finally get a musical number 20 min in, a stage show she went to, turns out to be a strip show, but not nude or even semi. They strip down to a sheer bra.
Then she starts answering personal ads for dates, inviting the men over to her apartment. I don't think she was really that naive; I think they wanted to save money on sets. Then one takes her to a club and she meets a female impersonator.
Next: she models lingerie for men at a wholesaler, and gets into a badly choreographed catfight backstage.
So this is some sort of pseudo-erotica. Notice the Not Rated notation above; I usually delete the "Approved" for studio releases. This one merely drove past the Breen office.
No fast forward feature on this YouTube upload. Nor preview mini-window.
This is worse than badly-scripted race films I've seen. No redeeming qualities. Not even sexy.
Not irritating enough for a 3, but really awful. Was this shown in theatres? Or offered by mail order?
I can't be bothered to remove the Music genre. I already spent too much time on it.
