I've seen the real TV show a few times, so i knew what it was about, before i watched it. I wasn't to interested in seeing it, because of that reason. The movie is great, because of the acting, Springer was the worst actor in the movie. For me it was hard to believe the actors weren't real. It felt like a reality program, i guess. I had to reminded myself that's it's only a movie, a few times. Jaime Pressly was really good at playing the character she had, kinda like the same character, on my name is Earl. The rest of the cast is good too. Molly Hagan plays Jamie's mother in the movie, she was a stand out also. I loved the movie, but not the TV show, weird.

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!

Was this movie stupid? Yup. Did this movie depth? Nope. Character development? Nope. Plot twists? Nope. This was simply a movie about a highly-fictionalized Springer show. It shows the lengths that some people will go to get their mugs on TV. Molly Hagan did a great job as Jaime Pressly's mom. Jaime is....well...GORGEOUS! This flick wasn't so much made to be a "breakthrough" movie, rather, it was intended to life in a trailer park (I live in a trailer park and ours is nothing like the one in this movie) where everyone sleeps with everyone else, all the girls get pregnant by different guys, and all the guys drive rusted-out '66 Ford pickups (exaggeration, of course, but that's the picture everyone sees when you mention "trailer park"). Some people over-analyze movies (case-in-point: Star Trek freaks). I watch movies purely for the entertainment value; not to point out that the girl is wearing a different shirt in a different scene (read the "Goofs" bit about Connie's shirt. Could it have been better? Sure. But it was funny as hell.

OK, people, honestly... this gotta be one of the worst movies about show biz that's ever been made, but I've been laughing myself silly (which may be why I enjoyed it). Basically, it's all about sex, sex and a way to get your own personal 15 minutes of fame. Did I mention that sex was a major issue in this movie? If you have a thing going for bizzzzare characters and easy entertainment, watch this movie when you get the chance (and don't have something better to do). ***Attention spoilers!!!*** The funniest thing on the movie was the guy who asked Jerry whether he could marry his goat (!) on the show and flashing his wallet with his love's pictures. A triple A for bad taste and fun!
