Tod eines Showgirls

I happened to catch this movie last night on tv. Nevertheless, it was sunday and I live in a town where tumbleweeds are more lively than the actual citizens. Anyway, this movie was pure unadultered crap. The direction was crap, some decent acting, and the sets looked like those of a shitty american soap opera. This movie was a joke, if I kept on watching it was because my only other option was some Martha Stewart show, and i Can't put up with that since my liver is about to give up on me. Well, skip this at all costs, it is not worth a penny.

I decided to take a chance on this one and boy was I wrong! The writing and directing were terrible and it's clear why this person didn't do features after this.

There is talent in the cast, I think Donnie is a decent actor, but not in this movie. Ernie is also a solid actor, but not here. Tony Todd was mis cast and misused and Shemar Moore and Sally Richardson are always eye candy. Nia Long also didn't impress me here.

The premise is decent, but the execution is terrible. Also, for a movie about the record industry, the soundtrack sucked.

Another red flag was the title change. Both titles are terrible, but anytime you change the title of a movie, you are running from bad box office or bad reviews.

I never laughed, but I don't recall any jokes. I was never on the edge of my seat, unless it was to leave the room and I never felt like this movie was going anywhere. No idea how this movie got made, but OMG, Hot Buttered Garbage!!!

Very cheesy, direct to video B-movie. Although the acting was pretty good. There were a lot of first rate actors in the movie Ernie Hudson, Nia Long, Donnie Wahlberg, etc. The story was cheesy and simplistic. It was not very interesting and although I actually watched the whole thing I was rather bored with it. I can see why this was not distributed in movie theaters. I don't think it would have done very well. My advice is don't spend your hard earned money to rent this. Wait for it to come on cable or borrow it from somebody who has already wasted their money on it like I did.

Not a 4 stars but familiar faces makes for a nice one time watch.

I was asleep and was awoken by the television very early morning, This movie was on! It managed to grab my attention and I couldn't get back to sleep! Yes it was cheesy and bad, But there was something about it that kept me glued there.

A pretty good cast considering and the sets are alright, although it just can't shake the cheese factor look.

This would be the SECOND best early morning movie I have ever awoken too, the first be The Jade Scorpion by Woody Allen, I've woken up twice to that movie.

I would never recommend EVER renting this movie, But if your fair smashed from a big night or awoken by this movie, defo watch it!
