Pamela Anderson takes the title role, a Vegas showgirl who’s been in the same production for 30+ years. She’s already struggling when it’s announced that the show is closing. This causes her to reflect on her career decisions and the affect it had on her daughter. Anderson creates a sweet character with a deep sadness. In supporting roles Dave Bautista turns in a warm, surprisingly low-key turn, while Jamie Lee Curtis dons a red wig and brown leather skin for her wild waitress role. Director Gia Coppola uses a busy camera to try to delve deeper (which doesn’t really work) and one of her favorite traits is to have Anderson wandering around or dancing randomly (not really adding much to the story). The script by Kate Gersten is a rather clichéd, ultimately shallow narrative. It serves more as a showcase for the actors than a touching, meaningful drama.
