Lap Dance (2014) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a recently engaged couple who suffer unfortunate circumstances when the bride to be's dad gets cancer. They have to use all their savings on his treatment and become desperate for money. A friend of the bride to be recommends she strips to pay the bills. The couple is hesitant but when desperation calls the wife agrees to do the deed but not to change in the process. Once she gets in the lifestyle she quickly discovers it will chance her and her fiancé both...

This movie is directed by Greg Carter (Lucky Girl) and stars James Remar (The Warriors),Omari Hardwick (Power),Stacey Dash (Clueless),Carmen Electra (Scary Movie),Mariel Hemingway (Superman IV),Briana Evigan (Sorority Row),LisaRaye McCoy (The Players Club) and Lynn Whitfield (Eve's Bayou).

This film had so much potential with a realistic storyline and a worthwhile cast. Unfortunately the execution was mediocre primarily because the husband and wife are miscast but everyone around them is really good. Somehow the director put all his good cast members as supporting characters. The dialogue between the couple feels unnatural even though the circumstances feel real. I will say the strippers are well selected and the storyline unfolds well and the conclusion fit the plot perfectly.

Overall it's too bad this wasn't executed better because this could have been pretty good. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

Based on a true story, Kevin (Robert Hoffman) and his new fiancée Monica (Ali Cobrin) are on their way out to Hollywood to make their fortune, him as a screen writer and her as an actress. They detour to visit her dad (James Remar) who is dying from cancer, doesn't have enough insurance, and is facing a foreclosure etc. Monica wants to care for daddy, can't make enough money and opts to be a stripper. This causes problems in their relationship, surprise surprise, and we end up with a trite script that could be a Lifetime style film.

The film has only a small amount of stripper nudity and even less lap dancing. It is not an erotic film, but uses the erotic nature of the business for a background. It seems to have supplied us with the worse of both worlds. If you are looking for something sexy, keep looking. If you like a "B" Lifetime film with a sexy background, this is it.

Carmen Electra together with Ali Cobrin,James Remar and Stacey Dash star in this movie about a promising screenwriter and an aspiring actress who go to Los Angeles entitled,"Lap Dance"

In it,we meet Kevin,who plans to be a screenwriter, and Monica,a wannabe actress, who just recently graduated from college to find their lucky break in Hollywood.Both are engaged.Since Monica is carrying the financial burden of her cancer stricken father,she decided to become an exotic dancer.Will their relationship stand the challenges and the obstacles that they face in their situation.

Based on the second paragraph,it would have been a movie that would seemingly contain an interesting premise. Too bad that the viewer sees a movie with a boring story.Despite the sex scenes and the exotic dancing scenes,the viewer would likely not care for the things that are happening as the characters are basically one-dimension.Added to that,it lacks entertainment as well..
