Jailbait

While "Jailbait" tries to accomplish a lot of things with its fairly stereotypical and way too unrealistic storyline, then director Jared Cohn fails to make a lasting impact with this movie.

The story in "Jailbait" is about Anna (played by Sara Malakul Lane) who is sexually molested by her step dad and accidentally kills him. Going to a juvenile rehabilitation center, Anna ends up learning how life inside the prison walls can be with all its hardships, alliances and abuse.

From an entertaining point of view then "Jailbait" was actually a good enough movie to watch because it wasn't boring and it kept on a brisk pace. However, if you put on a set of realism goggles, then everything in this movie just falls to the ground fast and shatters into a million pieces. Nothing about the things happening inside the juvenile rehabilitation facility is really realistic, and things are portrayed fleetingly and just allows the audience a brief look at the surface of things.

What kept the movie afloat the pace of the storyline and the fairly good acting performances put on by just about everyone in the movie.

But all in all then "Jailbait" is good enough entertainment and scores a solid 5 out of 10 stars from me.

5 of 10. Like Blue is the Warmest Color, this is an attempt to give softcore/comic book porn a bigger story. Unlike it, the women actually look like young women as opposed to 15-year-olds. Also unlike it, it doesn't drag on for an extra hour, but it still feels long and redundant despite being half the length.

By the end of the film, the title takes on a double meaning in addition to the most obvious one. That helps recover a story that felt artificial, melodramatic, and cliché too often. It shows the brutal nastiness of prison and how it is far from the ideal space for reform and recovery of the young, yet it feels too forced. About the only exception is the well-acted sleezey warden character.

More than anything, this felt like a film intended solely to feature Sara Malakul Lane. It does that, but it also features that she's in need of good direction and a story. Sara alone isn't enough.

All you will remember about the movie is.. her boobs.

They could've at least tried to cast young looking adults to play teens. All these "juveniles" look like middle-aged women. But....gotta love all the boobies though :D.

Jailbait is not a good movie but it is entertaining. It is an illogical poorly written mess but it was interesting to see Anna's decline and redemption. What this movie did right was prison life some of it was unrealistic but some of the concepts they showed in this film were spot on another bonus is the sex scenes with Sara Malakul Lane lol what more can you want. I could spend hours talking about how bad this movie was but it was a guilty pleasure with a satisfying ending. So if your're bored and have time to kill then I would suggest Jailbait which is free on hulu and Netflix plus even with it's multiple problems I'm sure you'll find some entertainment in this like I did.
