Lap Dancing

One of the best stripper films I've ever seen with the charming Lorissa McComas showing off her well endowed self. Also a fine exotic dancer scene with Kim Dawson.

The film is somewhat marred by having the male lead as a blind guy, a dumb gimmick indeed. Does he get his kicks out of smelling the girls do their routines?

This is the story of Angie, an innocent in H'wood who, in order to shed her inhibitions and win a starring role in a sexy movie, must learn to shed her clothes in a strip club. This movie should not be used as a recruiting tool for ingenues.

Tane' McClure and Kim Dawson are the two strippers who help Angie (McCommass, as lovely a young lady as has ever been naked on screen) discover her unrealized erotic potential. Both tend to go over the top a bit, but given the surreal nature of their characters and the situation, why not? Director Mike Sedan gives them their head (that's a horse term, not a sex term, folks); he's busy making sure the camera catches all the action. And there's plenty of it, onstage, backstage, in the club patrons' laps (thus the title), out in the alley, in a grocery store on the way home, and at whatever other locales I've forgotten.

Taken at its own level, this is a well-made cautionary tale about what you have to do to succeed in show biz. The fact that it's balderdash doesn't matter.

Mike Sedan, who does cameos in all his films, is Russ Meyer without all the pain, suffering, and death. He sets all his films in L.A. like John Waters sets them in Baltimore. Whatever...

Lap Dancing is a mighty tame movie to me, because I live in a city that has clubs more graphic than this one. Lorissa McComas (sexy woman, no talent, man made puppies) plays a Mid-West transplant who wants to be an actress. Frustrated by failed attempts at winning movie roles, her room mate (Tane McClure) tells her that she should check out the gentlemen's club that she works at for "inspiration". She works there for a week and discovers its seedy underbelly.

With all sorts of the usual tricks in the softcore genre, and a few new ones, Lap Dancing does a pretty good job of depicting the real world. From the opening credits of city life on a L.A. street, to a dancer prostituting herself, to another dancer who has an abusive boyfriend, it's no fairy tale like Striptease was. Sadly, the acting is awful and the script was written by someone who uses "politically correct prose". However, the dance numbers on the stage are pretty good and they use some neat original music for them. Yet another pointless nudie, but it has some value. Mike Sedan's "Insatiable Wives" and "Mischievious" are also highly recommended as well.

I have seen and own this movie and I love it. Not because Kim Dawson is in it. Yes I think she has a rocking body. She plays a smoking, drinking and drug taking veteran Lap Dancer who has seen better days, but I love this movie as a whole. The acting seems fair and believable. Sammantha McMacomas was a good choice to portray the younger, innocent sister of Tane' McClure. Then there is the blind love interest of Sammantha. He starts out as a sort of guide/mentor. Sammantha's inexperience as a Lap dancer comes into play when she is performing for a man with his wife sitting next to him. Watch this movie to see what happens. I gotta give the movie a 10 out of 10 star rating

i have seen many b flicks in my day. this is by far one of the worst. i give lorissa her kodos she is a beautiful women however her acting leaves a bad taste in your mouth. i have seen her in others and it doesnt get better. if you want to watch t and a with no substance then rent or buy this video mccomas is nice to watch just turn down the volume so as to not subject yourself to her acting. another movie of the time called erotica was much better in the plot area not as nice to watch but much better to the intellect.
