Standout Aspects

Acting

Nicole Eggert commits embarrassingly hard to profoundly silly material.

Production

Gloriously cheap NYC backlot energy, probably shot in Canada.

Best for:Solo: 2 AM irony viewing with snacks and zero expectations.·Rewatch: Spot Tony Sirico pre-Sopranos playing sleazy strip club owner.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Frequent topless dancing, softcore aesthetic throughout.·Violence: Stalking and third-act physical threats escalate quickly.
