Eric Stevenson I kept thinking that this was a movie based on "The Jerry Springer Show". It says that isn't and is simply a fictionalized version of Jerry Springer's show. What's the point in any of that? I myself don't know or really care if Jerry Springer is real or not. I doubt I've had the luxury of watching an entire episode. It's pretty obscure nowadays.So this movie tells the story of a bunch of people and how they wind up on Jerry's show. It's just as dumb (or possibly as smart) as you'd expect. I guess there's a few good moments here and there, but there's just no reason for this dumb movie to exist. It's sad when I say that I can think of many worse films. At least it got the spirit of the show. That's of course not a good thing. *1/2

gta3expert1989 I saw this movie recently on Comedy Central. I didn't think the movie was very good, and the plot seemed like it was written by 5 year olds with very dirty minds. So the movie starts with this white trailer trash family who lives in South Florida, Jaime Pressly works at a hotel but she's a nymphomaniac, the first guy she runs into when she's house keeping, sleeps with him. Then she goes onto sleep with her stepfather, and he gets her pregnant, then here mother gets back at Pressly by sleeping with Pressly's fiancé.In this movie, Jerry Springer doesn't have a last name, he's just "Jerry" around his fans he seems like a good guy but behind their back he really doesn't like them (the movie lets you in on that) So Jaime Pressly (her movie name is Angel Zorzak) and her step dad and fiancé fly to LA to be on Jerrys show. She runs into a group of people who are supposed to be on the day after them, and sleeps with this other guy and her fiancé catches her. Her mother tries to do the same but fails, he and Connie just "hang out." The only part I thought was funny was when one of Jerrys staff members sleeps with the transvestite. Other then that this movie sucked

Seth Nelson We couch potatoes love the television. We may hate all of these reality shows on TV like "Survivor," "Big Brother," "The Amazing Race" and "The Bachelor," but the most realistic of television is none other than "The Jerry Springer Show." Yes, I love how it starts out with small talk, and suddenly: Chairs are thrown and broken into pieces! We see backyard wrestling-like fighting! We hear cuss words being bleeped out like crazy! No other TV show on the airwaves is like that! This stuff keeps us hooked, baby! Hooked! And if y'all think the TV version is very interesting, try watching this movie version! Seeing as how this is rated R and that this was shown in the movie theater, we can probably see (and hear) what we couldn't see on the TV version because of the endless FCC rules! So think of it as an extended, unrated episode of "The Jerry Springer Show!" And man, I wouldn't want to be in Mr. Springer's shoes right now!

cali4nia32 Let me start by saying it's not THAT bad. It's in no way Oscar material of course, but it is not horrible. It's the type of stupid comedy that makes you roll your eyes and laugh at the same time. I'm a huge fan of the "Scary Movie" series, although I and no doubt everyone else who has seen those movies will agree they are inherently stupid. This movie is pretty much the same thing, except based on the "Jerry Springer" show. What separates this movie from the show is the "behind-the-scenes" look at a group of people slated to appear on the show, including white trash duo and mother and daughter Connie (Molly Hagan) and Angel (Jaime Pressly), Detroit "sistas" Starletta (Wendy Robinson), Vonda (Tangie Ambrose) and Leshawnette (Nicki Micheaux) and Startletta's unfaithful boyfriend Demond (Michael Jai White). Several points in the movie make (or attempt to make) you feel pity for these characters, but not in the way it was intended, I don't think. Towards the end of the movie, Jerry has this big long monologue about how people eat up the troubles of celebrities but when it comes to poor people, they can't digest it as well. I was more compelled to feel sorry for these characters for their "great unwashed" status rather than the problems they faced themselves. So, overall, I thought the movie was quite entertaining (although stupid), but fans of the actual show (which I am not) might not find it as satisfying, because the movie contains several moments that are serious and try to teach a deeper lesson that may seem out of place with the usual hijinks.
