It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The Ringmaster (1998): Dir: Neil Abramson / Cast: Jerry Springer, Molly Hagan, Jaime Pressly, Michael Jai White, William McNamara: Idiotic comedy about Jerry Springer's dysfunctional talk show and totally insincere at that. The title places him as a go-between within the depraved. At one point he defends his guests comparing their lives to that of the rich and famous. It is as if an applause is required. Among his guests are a mother and daughter combo played by Molly Hagan and Jaime Pressly. Apparently the Pressly character slept with her stepfather and became pregnant. Her mother then gives her daughter's boyfriend a blowjob. In fact, everyone seems to be sleeping with everybody in this film. One idiot even goes so far to tell his girlfriend that he slipped off to attend a Bible study in the area. Horrible directing by Neil Abramson with a screenplay that plays like a soap opera. We are given some insight into Springer's disposition as he prepares this event but he also seems to be promoting himself, especially with his pathetic and phoney concluding statement. Hagan and Pressly exploit society's nightmares through applauded vulgarity. Some of their actions are amusing but the resolution is phoney. Michael Jai White makes a wasted appearance as another cheater. Advertises Springer's career with sloppy filmmaking, bad acting and one big ugly orgy. Score: 2 / 10

I saw this movie recently on Comedy Central. I didn't think the movie was very good, and the plot seemed like it was written by 5 year olds with very dirty minds. So the movie starts with this white trailer trash family who lives in South Florida, Jaime Pressly works at a hotel but she's a nymphomaniac, the first guy she runs into when she's house keeping, sleeps with him. Then she goes onto sleep with her stepfather, and he gets her pregnant, then here mother gets back at Pressly by sleeping with Pressly's fiancé.In this movie, Jerry Springer doesn't have a last name, he's just "Jerry" around his fans he seems like a good guy but behind their back he really doesn't like them (the movie lets you in on that) So Jaime Pressly (her movie name is Angel Zorzak) and her step dad and fiancé fly to LA to be on Jerrys show. She runs into a group of people who are supposed to be on the day after them, and sleeps with this other guy and her fiancé catches her. Her mother tries to do the same but fails, he and Connie just "hang out." The only part I thought was funny was when one of Jerrys staff members sleeps with the transvestite. Other then that this movie sucked

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!

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*Jaime Pressly as a horny trailer park girl? Great! I saw "Ringmaster" in the theater. I was all alone. The theater was completely empty. No one else dared. I had seen commercials for the movie and was attracted to the blond girl in the movie, (Jaime Pressly). I had a movie pass at the time which let me get into movies for free. A love connection was made and the movie pass took me to see "Ringmaster".First off, let me say that I am not a big fan of Jerry Springer. In fact, I have never seen a single show. Honest! I only know of him through pop culture osmosis. I knew his show was trashy and the trailers for the flick looked trashy. Trashy I like. So I had to see it.The movie focuses on the guests of his show and why they would humiliate themselves on TV. Jerry's defense is that the poor people of America deserve a spot on TV too. He's the facilitator. He lets the poor speak out and be stupid. The working class has a hero and it's Jerry Springer. He is the Ringmaster.So to give some background to all these human freak shows that run across the TV screen, we get to see the guest's life stories. Here is where the movie gets a little interesting. Jaime Pressly is the hot babe in the trailer park who sleeps with her step dad and a lot of other people. Jaime Pressly is the living embodiment of sex. Other females look away in shame. It's no wonder her step dad wants her. Her nakedness is what propels this movie into more than just a flick about guests on a trashy talk show. OK. OK. It's not much more than that but Jaime Pressly is still volcano-level hot. If you like seeing Jaime Pressly getting it on, (and what sane man doesn't?), check out this flick.
