This movie was a total mess. The story was weak, the acting was terrible, and the characters were flat and uninteresting. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen, but it never did. The pacing was painfully slow, and the dialogue felt awkward and forced. Some scenes were so bad that I couldn't believe they were real.
The cinematography was dull, and the editing was sloppy. It felt like no effort was put into making this movie even slightly enjoyable. There was no tension, no emotion, and no reason to care about anything happening on screen.
I only give it 2 stars because I have seen worse, but this was still a complete waste of time. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I waffled back and forth between watching this film and letting it pass. Read reviews - some liked it, some didn't... so, silly me, decided to give it a go. Sorry I bothered.
My goodness, this is a sad, slow little movie about sad, slow people. I like to be able to root for someone in a tale, if possible (although not always necessary: Succession, for example). Pamela Anderson's dimwitted character, Shelly, is foolish and delusional. She seems to think that her more than 30 years as a performer in a Vegas nudie show is something of value, worth losing (or, worse, giving up) custody of her child for. You got that one wrong, Shell! She goes on to show herself as a cold and selfish person who willingly closes her door in the face of a young co-worker crying out for help. Completely lost me at that point, and I stopped caring what happened to her next.
The admirable Jamie Lee Curtis continues to take roles that make every effort to show her in the worst possible light. Although just about everything looks dim in this underlit and underwhelming effort.
Why it was made I don't know. It's not like it shows us anything we haven't seen before. Yes, time passes, people age, things change. Is this news? Is this somehow revelatory? Are we supposed to feel something for these vain and foolish people?
I was trying to stick it out to the bitter (and I do mean bitter) end, but a scene near the end, which I won't elaborate on because I hate spoilers, caused me to say "That's it! I can't take any more of this nonsense!" and brought the curtain down. I don't know how it ended and I do not care.

Terrible movie that had one fatal flaw: Pamela Anderson. But there were other problems in the movie which brought it down from 5/10 to 2 stars
- Cameraman tried to be sophisticated by using fast and unstable camera movements which gave us a headache more than anything else.
- Pamela was always a terrible actresses who has actually gotten worse with age.
- Low budget movie that was shot in 3-4 studio rooms. Therefore, relied a lot on substance, which never came as Pamela is such a bad actress. Her acting was forced and revealed there was a talented script writer behind the scene. But was like watching a cardboard cutout reading the script.
I went in with high hopes. Pamela Anderson has matured and is joined by bug stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Dave Bautisa.
The story is about Pamela having been a show girl for decades and loves it. She's getting older and the show dwindling.
She has an estranged daughter and wants desperately to spend time with her.
I found this movie dull, boring, with lack of story or interest. The camera at time was so shaky allover the place it was painful to watch. The picture in the movie theatre looked fuzzy/hazy and wasn't pleasant on the eyes.
Sorry Pamela, but this movie was not great. It lacked just about anything to keep you watching.

This movie is so condescending to working class people. I lived in Vegas and knew cocktail waitresses and they are not like Jamie Lee Curtis. They are smart women working for a living. JLC is playing this character as a moron with terrible makeup, and we also get a shot of her undressing so the movie can laugh at her body. This is how the elite look at the people who work for them.
And Pam Anderson's character makes no sense. This woman thought that she was going to be a showgirl forever? Beyond the fact that she's in her 50s, there are no showgirls in Vegas anymore. How has she even survived as long as she has by being a showgirl? This movie was made by people who have no idea what the real world is like.

Pamela Anderson has this ability to make every line she has in the movie seem odd, awkward & uncomfortable. Every single line is delivered in the same short rushed manner....sad moment in the movie delivered oddly, awkward & uncomfortable! Fun moment with laughs...delivered oddly, awkward & uncomfortable! Happy moment ...delivered oddly, awkward & uncomfortable! Moment with daughter...delivered oddly, awkward & uncomfortable! Don't forget to rush the dialogue as well! The rest of the move is Pam standing in odd areas with the camera focusing on her to en the background. Camera work is horrible the entire movie!
