Pretty awful script

I don't want to say that all the actor are terrible because their performances were horrific. From the opening with our lead's boyfriend coming home and calling her "man" that was completely out of place. Awkwardness in the script is what really cripples the actors and I think they couldn't even begin to act because they how could you pull off a script this terrible? Traci Lords is about as unconvincing as possible, possibly because she is told to mouth every word she speaks in a manner so over the top it is absurd. Unfortunately everything from beginning to end is amateurish and this is a prototype C movie where the plot moves along in a silly fashion where things fall conveniently in place so the movie can make its way into the next scene.

This is a major C movie that will make you want to reach out and grab the script writer and strangle him as well as the director. This is the product of some rich son who is using Daddy's money to fund -- don't say I didn't warn you. I'm giving this a 3 because I have seen one or two of the actresses in other productions and they actually did a credible job acting. Traci Lords hasn't seen scripting like this since she was a young teenager. That's not an exaggeration...
