good humoured enough, 11 January 2007
6/10
Author: christopher-underwood from Greenwich - London

The whole thrust, as it were, of this is not really to my liking. Carol Connors has to play the dumb, blonde and innocent hopeful whilst various ragamuffins take advantage as she thinks she becomes a star. It is good humoured enough and if most of the sex is with wide eyes, pigtails and, 'Will this really help me become a star?' type dialogue it's hard to take violently against it. What saves the film entirely, however, is a rather spunky orgy at the end. Difficult things at the best of times this is really rather well done with none of the preceding 50 minutes or so faux innocence, this is fully bloodied and revels in the open enthusiasm of the participants.
