Ringmaster Audience Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
paulefortini I will admit that I have seen maybe five minutes of "Jerry Springer". I don't consider myself a snob, but I really think that I am above watching what's on his show. You should try to elevate yourself above that too.I saw this movie as part of a social studies event I was conducting. I was told that this movie really had little to do with Springer himself, rather it centered on the lives of those who would appear on "Springer." Handled better, this movie might have actually been a fascinating look at how pathetic these people's lives actually are. I will admit, I felt a twinge of empathy for Connie (Molly Hagan). This is all she has in life. How sad that she feels she must go on Jerry's show in order to resolve this.I really feel sorry for Molly Hagan appearing in this. Have you noticed that after this movie, she has mainly been relegated to "B" roles on TV? I will say this about Hagan. She is an extremely beautiful and intelligent woman. I have no doubt that she is very earnest in her acting and she tries to play her roles with a lot of empathy. The problem is that Hagan can't carry a scene on her own. She just doesn't have what it takes to do a lead role. Her best work will always be Angel on "Herman's Head" (a show that was not great, but its heart was in the right place) and when she guested on "Seinfeld" as Sister Roberta.
lastliberal I absolutely cannot believe that i sat down and watched this garbage. I guess I wanted to se4e Jaime Pressly (Angel) from My Name is Earl, even though I don't watch the show. Along with Presley was William McNamara, with a long history of movies I have never seen, who played the stepfather who was boning her; TV star Molly Hagen, who played the mom who boned Angel's boyfriend after she caught her with her husband; Michael Jai White who boned both of them; and lots more TV personalities that made for more trash. I cannot imagine how Angel had energy for her step-daddy after she was earning all that extra money in the motel where she worked as a maid. Well, you get the picture. Florida trailer trash at it's best.
gta3expert1989 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
Dr. Gore *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.
