Girls in Prison (1994)

Wonderful character development!

Admirable film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Blistering performances.

this movie was not that bad. for some reason it kept me interested just enough to watch all the way though. I would not say there is a lot of bad acting, the actors did not have anything to work with. If the script was written better and the movie was more serious, it could've have been great. a remake of the movie would not be a bad thing if you had the right people doing it. there are a few actresses that do shine through out the movie. also the detective guy is great but the script just is not up to par. some parts of the movie will make you laugh because it does not portray live as it really is. there are a few scenes when the cops just stand there while a girl is swinging around a knife. I don't think so. not in my world that would happen. save this movie for a raining day and enjoy what you can.

Sweet young songtress Aggie (Missy Crider) gets sent to a harsh women's prison after being found guilty of a murder she didn't commit……Most of the laughs in the film are unintentional rather than written. Parts of this movie (especially the truly unbelievable climax) defy belief. Some parts simply make no sense at all. It looks like this movie had no script, the actresses were told just to use whatever dialog they could think of. The only scenes with quality in dialog, comes from Anne Heche. It looks like they were more her idea rather than scripted or directed. Heche is great as the bad girl and is the only one, who knows what she's doing. The lack of acting from the rest of the cast are sometimes good for a big laugh.The movie has two graphic shower scenes. Although poorly filmed, the girls are nice to look at (Heche bares her gorgeous breasts).Outside Heche the movie is really bad... and not to recommend....

There are two shower scenes where we are treated to incredible views of my favorite psychologist (Anne Heche from Prozac Nation) and the lovely Ione Skye. This was definitely not a CBS Schoolbreak Special with Missy Crider and TV regular Bahni Turpin.Outside of these shower scenes was the cheesiest dialog that I have ever heard. I cannot believe this movie even had a script. I am sure the actresses were told just told use whatever cheesy prison dialog you can think of. It was painful to listen to. They threw in dialog about the Korean War and McCathyism to set the times, but it was just terrible.It would have been a much better production if they had 80 minutes of shower scenes and 3 minutes of dialog, instead of the other way around.

Funny how people see the same things in such different ways. Although the movie is classified as action/drama I have to say I laughed so hard I almost fell off the chair. This movie would have been a greater success if it had been classified as comedy. The characters are so stereotype that the movie seems to make fun of the kind of genre it is actually supposed to represent. The problem is, that it takes itself serious, otherwise I think I would have liked it. I am not quite sure whether it is just a bad movie or if it is really bad enough to be interesting. In any case - I am still amused about it. (Besides, Anne Heche is hilarious as the bad girl).
