Ringmaster Audience Reviews

VividSimon Simply Perfect
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
cbevilac I have seen this movie and I don't understand why everyone spends 3 paragraphs talking about how horrible it is. This movie was clearly never intended to Win best picture- And I am sure the Producers and Directors were aware of that while filming. The intent of the movie is to make fun of people and the way some people live.I actually thought the movie covered every base, everything from the magazines lying around their house, to the food they eat, to hanging out at the laundromat! Obviously nothing you can take too seriously, but I got a kick out of it.6/10
Witchmaster 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!
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.
whois_mr_keegan There is only one reason to watch this pathetic piece of trash and that's......Jaime Pressly!! Oh my god this woman is beautiful, sexy, hot, breathtaking, gorgeous, etc. This was the first movie I saw her in and as soon as it was done I ran out and bought Poison Ivy 3.Jaime's pressence alone is deserving of one star. Aside from the hottest woman in Hollywood there isn't one other aspect of the movie even worth mentioning. Run away....far away......aaaaaahhhhhrrrrrggg!!!!!
