Mike Sedan, who does cameos in all his films, is Russ Meyer without all the pain, suffering, and death. He sets all his films in L.A. like John Waters sets them in Baltimore. Whatever...
Lap Dancing is a mighty tame movie to me, because I live in a city that has clubs more graphic than this one. Lorissa McComas (sexy woman, no talent, man made puppies) plays a Mid-West transplant who wants to be an actress. Frustrated by failed attempts at winning movie roles, her room mate (Tane McClure) tells her that she should check out the gentlemen's club that she works at for "inspiration". She works there for a week and discovers its seedy underbelly.
With all sorts of the usual tricks in the softcore genre, and a few new ones, Lap Dancing does a pretty good job of depicting the real world. From the opening credits of city life on a L.A. street, to a dancer prostituting herself, to another dancer who has an abusive boyfriend, it's no fairy tale like Striptease was. Sadly, the acting is awful and the script was written by someone who uses "politically correct prose". However, the dance numbers on the stage are pretty good and they use some neat original music for them. Yet another pointless nudie, but it has some value. Mike Sedan's "Insatiable Wives" and "Mischievious" are also highly recommended as well.
