The Grasshopper contains nearly every plot device for a film about a teenager trying to make it in Vegas and LA. The film crams the following into only 98 minutes: hitchhiking, boring boyfriend, gay best friend, prostitution, several beatings, a mob hit, sugar daddy, user boyfriend, a montage of Jacqueline with all her endless tricks, interracial marriage, drug overdose and a wild criminal arrest.
Jacqueline's performance is mediocre and she looks a bit bored at times. Joseph Cotten makes an appearance and he looks much older than his years. Jim Brown is surprisingly good as Jacqueline's husband and Ed Flanders does well in a sleazy role. Ramon Bieri was amusing as a ruthless mobster.
The ending was hilarious and added to the film's camp.
