User Reviews

Just horrible, amateurish... I regret every minute of it

I can't believe I am even writing a review. I don't know what the previous reviewers were on (may be affiliated with the creators) but this was probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

The modern take on this classic tale had so much potential but the execution was beyond terrible. This felt like a student project than anything. Obviously they had no budget, but you don't need money to tell an interesting story. This had nothing to say. The pacing was all off, the introduction doesn't make sense at all, bad acting and bad dialogue (almost on the level of The Room), bland shallow characters, did not buy the central love story at all, and the whole stripper thing did not make sense and felt exploitative!!!

It's a shame because there were some artful camera work, just the story and direction was so amateurish and made no sense at all.
