Dans les griffes du stripteaseur

This is one of those made-for-tv movies that aired on Lifetime that a friend and I happened to catch. It is a story about dance studio instructor Amber Clarke, soon to be wed, finding herself getting caught in the obsession of exotic male dancer Hunter from her bachelorette party, who will stop at nothing to keep her from tying the knot.

It's a mindless movie with a silly plot that seems to blend in elements of teenage date & slasher flicks and soap opera drama, but only with worst acting. There are predictable moments in the movie, but you get a good dose of intrigue and thrills here and there.

Every character is so put-together, neatly groomed, and polished it seems the filmmakers didn't even try to insert some realism in it. The men dancers make good eye candy for the ladies, but the women are portrayed like spoiled, rich brats.

But again, as with the acting, it is so bad that you couldn't help but laugh. You won't see this movie winning any Emmys, but it sure gives you some mindless fun to pass the time with.

Grade C+

The actors/actresses had the range of a living room wall. This was awful even for a Lifetime movie...BUT It was good for a few chuckles so two stars for that.

I really enjoyed this movie. The villain is not in your face and seems like a normal guy if a little forward. The story has meat to it. This is one of the better Lifetime movies. I was never bored and it kept my attention all the way through. It had just enough of the standard Lifetime suspense and wackiness.

It may sound like an exploitative Lifetime movie but this thriller has quite a well constructed story. A stripper at a bachelorette party obsesses over a bride to be. The cast is believable and well cast.

Entertaining watch.

It was the typical Lifetime movie. Naive people who always blind to what's right there staring at them in the face. The birth was way off and to far fetched to be believable. If the birth was believable it would have been better.
