It could have been worse...

I see some people bashing this film and that troubles me. As a movie, there are many much worse than this one. As an opportunity to see Kathy Ireland walking and talking instead of in the pages of SI is certainly worth the effort of watching it. One of the most gorgeous and intelligent women on the planet. So she decides to accept an offer to do a bad movie. Did she get paid? I'm guessing yes.

Now she is a multi-billionaire business woman with he lines of products that all started with a line of socks. Will she ever act again? I don't know, but she certainly doesn't have to to pay the bills. I was glad to stumble across this movie on cable. And let's not forget that the Latino tough guy was also used for the same type of role in "Wild Things". LOL And a personal note to the person who wrote about the different decades. I'm old enough to know that the late 60's through the mid 80's was the best of all times period for movies and music. What does how or what clothes people wore in this or any movie have anything to do with anything except for snobs who live their small minded lives based on the current fashion magazines?? If you think the current decade is the best thing going, maybe you should get your head examined. At least back in those days the movie industry seemed to be able to come up with original ideas of their own instead of reworking Japanese horror and doing poor remakes of classic TV shows, video games, and movies.
