"The Stud" is much better., 9 June 2002
Author: Sam (alamsami@yahoo.com) from Cyprus

Joan Collins continues her pleasure-seeking habits in this awful movie. The film is rather confusing at times and even Joan has no idea what is going on. The DISCO soundtrack and lights get on your nerves after a while. "The Bitch" is also based on the trashy novel by Jackie Collins (Joan's sister). This is a really bad career move Joan...
