Confessions of a Lap DancerThe Unrated Version is one of the Hottest, Most Erotic Films in Softcore and Striptease Genres. Directed by Mike Sedan, Starring Blake Pickett (AKA Josie Hunter) There are some explicit pussy lips shots; She and Janine Lindemulder do an erotic and explicit, erotic strip. Every Actress in this movie delivers the "goods". The story is about a stripper at a club that moonlights as a hooker; and is ashamed of her prostitution. Along the way to finding happiness with a man, she really gives the audience one hell of an erotic ride. A rare gem.

This not only has a great view into a life of a stripper and all of the beautiful women that work there but of choices and consequences. The story and acting is very good as are the sex scenes. Full views of very pretty women and topless views of several while at work. Show also what the public thinks of these women and makes you wonder at the fairness. Very thought provocing. Well worth the price.

OMG, this little film actually has some production value! The director seems to know what he's doing. The camera op actually frames the shots properly. The plot actually plots. I'm stunned! The acting ain't too bad, and the girls are pretty cool. I especially like the girl who plays Jo, the "accountant." What a pleasant surprise. It certainly is what we old timers might call "late night cable fare" but it's a heck of a lot better than most I've seen. I'd rank this right up there with Femalien and the like.

Not a bad story about women in the sex trade - For this type of flim, the story is not as key as the action,

I ordered this title from amazon.com, when it arrived from Clover Media, I first tried to play it on a new Sony DVD player I bought at amazon.com, and it would only play about 4 or 5 minutes before it froze. I tried fast forward and skip, and that was futile. I just watched another new DVD that evening. In a few days, I tried it on my new all-region Panasonic player from amazon.com. It played about 16 minutes before it froze. I have two more Sony DVD players from Sears and Wal-Mart, and it did the same on them. I wasn't sure how to return it, so I sent Clover Media an e-mail asking about it. They didn't reply but just complained about me. That's grossly unfair. I won't ever do business with them again. I couldn't find instructions on amazon.com about returns, so I just sent it back to the address on the original package. It has been a couple of weeks, and it hasn't been returned to me, and I haven't heard from Clover Media either. I don't know what to think or do now. I'm not ordering any more items from amazon.com until this situation is resolved. I put some items on my wish list for now to order when or if the situation is resolved.
I RATE THE TRANSACTION MINUS FIVE SINCE I GOT A DVD THAT WON"T PLAY; I CAN'T FIND INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT RETURNS; I E-MAILED CLOVER MEDIA ABOUT IT; THEY IGNORED ME AND COMPLAINED ABOUT ME; AND I'M STILL UP IN THE AIR ABOUT IT.

This film should be retitled "The Agony Of Being A Hooker". This film takes it's message and theme very seriously. From beginning to end the script, the acting and the soundtrack all pound the point home about how unhappy everyone is to be a hooker.

The film begins with Erica (Josi Hunter) crying in her bed about how bad her life sucks, and I'm not sure I saw her smile for the rest of the film. Then we get to watch a series of fairly hot scenes of her living out her profession as a dancer, a lapdancer, and a hooker, in which she consistenly looks miserable and unhappy. (Apparently she serves a niche market of men for whom women who hate sex are a fetish. Who knew?) The scenes are good and well shot, but the repeated closeups of Erica-in-anguish get pretty old. Later, another dancer does a little side work, but she too looks unhappy throughout her scene.

The jazzy soundtrack features jumping hits like "She's A Victim Of The Night", and other less memorable titles by the same unknown band, ensuring we know that being a hooker sucks but it's not her fault.

On the plus side, the full-length scenes of the stage performances are pretty good (other than the downer music), and whatever club they are at clearly allows the full Monty. The highlight of the film for me was a fairly romantic and erotic scene between Jo (Amy Lindsay, billed as Lynsey Ames) and the club's owner. Sadly, this is the only intimate scene involving Ms. Lindsay in the movie.

The plot has holes you can drive a truck through, even if it is a bit more coherent than other movies of this type. It's never explained why the parents that drove Erica to a life of dancing and prostitution have custody of her daughter, and Erica is living pretty posh for supposedly scraping by (and obviously had the money for recent implants, as evidenced in several scenes that Ms. Hunter appears in. Makeup, please?). The ending is trite and difficult to believe. Also never explained is how Erica has managed to avoid the normal self-destructive routes of alcohol and drugs in her descent into misery, but maybe I'm thinking about it too much. Which is basically the problem with this film...I found my mind wandering around the set while the cast was still working, because who wants to watch someone being miserable?

Two stars for a good try, but really bad acting and a hamfisted message delivery hold it back. If she would just have smiled now and then I'd might have given another star...

OK, so it's a hot stripper flick with a lot of naked women and, for its 1997 release, surprising in its explicitness. On that point alone it could have landed four stars if not five.

But what will surprise you is the depth of characterization and the superior writing. I've seen tons of major releases that aren't written, directed or acted this well.

Josie Hunter's turn as the lead character is--dare I say it--almost brilliant. Her dialogue delivery is a little stilted at times but you can tell so much that she really connected with the stripper-slash-hooker-slash-mother. I mean for God's sake, she was crying during the sex scenes, while her body is doing one thing but her mind something else.

The story really takes us places, shows us how screwed up some women can be in the head when it comes to sexuality and love and emotions and motherhood. As much as we would like it to be the case, sometimes there are no easy answers. Erica has it all there in front of her and the audience can't figure out why she just doesn't take the best way out of her predicament. Yet she keeps on getting in more deeply even though she hates what she does and hates herself for doing it.

This is very realistic. Reminds me of one of my ex girlfriends actually.

The worst part of the movie probably is its title, which brings to mind much cheaper recent soft-core fare.

I bought this DVD based on the majority reviews but must say that was very disappointed! I was expecting much more of foreplay and I guess overall better seduction game. At the same time I bought a movie called Lust, caution; directed by Ang Lee and although it's intent is not only sex, the parts where it happens is very exciting better than this soft porn movie!

I BOUGHT THIS DVD AND REALLY ENJOYED IT, IT HAS A BASIC PLOT BUT PLENTY OF NUDITY AND SOFT-CORE SEX WHICH IS THE REASON YOU BUY A STRIPPER MOVIE TO BEGIN WITH WHILE THE ACTING LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED, THE GIRLS ARE SEXY AND SHOW JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO SEE

This title is also known as illicit confession which basically talk about the actress lose custody of her daughter by law after she worked in soeme kind of business that is dealing with lap dancing, striptease and she also sells her backside (about four scenes) and later she turn over a new life after she decide to stay permanent with one actor in this movie and she able to get back her daughter in the end. (a big chunk of lap dancing and some onstage striptease show). Recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of film......
