Review of Bitch Slap (2009) by Erwin M — 30 Sep 2010

OK I have to see how I can navigate through these waters and review this one which is not the type of movie I usually go for but I know I had seen this film mentioned before in Facebook and as I was browsing the shelves at the store came across it.

This is more of a B-flick revolving around the wild exploits of three attractive women Hel (Erin Cummings), Camero (America Olivio), and Trixie (Julia Voth). They are on a quest to track down a cache of stolen diamonds.

While trying to recover the jewels they are forced to defeat rival criminals, outsmart the local police, and somehow manage to keep from killing each other in the process. Fortunately this somewhat cliched plot is told in a rather unconventional way, with the movie opening somewhere in the middle of the story and then slowly unfolding through use of a dual storyline, with one part moving forward and the other being told in reverse order through flashbacks.

Written by Eric Gruendemann and Rick Jacobson- I wondered who were the writers because I don't recall seeing a film with so many obscene synonyms for the word vagina! Within the first 20 mins of the film I surmised it was targeted at teenage boys and college age boys- you will understand once you see the film depicting large breasted women with tight clothing engaged in fights, and sex.

. Much like the plot, the dialog is kind of absurd as well. In fact, it is downright hilarious in its over-the-top obscenity. In regards to the fight scenes you will witness quite a brutal â??chick-fightâ?? and some action.

Its a low budget movie and most of it takes place at the desert near a trailer. Hmm how can I put this delicately: ok here it goes----- if I was 14 years old, I'm sure I would consider Bitch Slap to be an awesome film with strong, assertive, fearless women, big guns, massive explosions, tons of ridiculously filthy insults, and a machine-gun wielding midget.

But as an intelligent adult, it misses the mark but its still entertaining. Recommended if you don't have anything better to do on a cold winter night or a rainy day.
