Only around 30 reviews on competition sites for a movie that has been out on Netflix for 8 straight years...yeah, people don't want to admit that they watched this. And I can see why, for starters this is part of the infamous WiP films that had their heyday with Pam Grier in the 1970s...but it doesn't star Pam Grier so you don't really have that..."No but honey, Pam Grier is in it," excuse to be watching it. And then the title "Jailbait" well its not going to have many reviews with a title like that...but I guarantee you that it's going to have a lot of views on the Netflix. So anyway, the plot of this movie is to see Sara Malakul Lane naked. The entire point of making this film is to show the viewers full frontal views of Sara Malakul Lane. And the entire reason that people sit down and watch this movie is to see Sara Malakul Lane naked. So...mission accomplished and in spades. The dialogue? Who cares. The story? Who cares The production values? Who cares The score? Who cares? The acting? Again, who cares. None of that has anything to do with the movie. That wasn't the goal the creators had in mind when making this film. And, let's be honest, none of that is the reason why you are going to sit down and watch it.
