A Florida stripper, locked in a draining custody battle with her scumbag ex-husband, catches the eye of a sleazy congressman who wants to get into her g-string. This is based on one of Carl Hiaasen's crazed, comic novels, but with most of the crazed, comic stuff inexplicably removed. What's left is a generic thriller doubling as a vanity project for Demi More, who strips down to a thong about every 20 minutes to show off her obsessively toned physique. If you watch it on a device that allows you to scene select, fast forward to the dance routines and with the time you save by skipping everything else, check out Hiaasen's book instead.
