the movie is so stupid
This movie is so stupid and absolutely unrealistic!
She was making a ton of money without any nudity or sex involved. yeah, right...
Yeah, just got done watching it myself and that is 1.5 hours of my life I will never get back. And really, no nudity and she's making that much money? Gimme a break!

Well, it was a Lifetime TV movie...so there goes the nudity...although the secondary girl character did get topless (away from the camera) just before she got fired (for "health" violations...lol...).
I agree that this wasn't a very good depiction of the strip club atmosphere, but, then again, there aren't many movies that get that dynamic correct in the first place. Getting paid $20-27/hour to dance & getting to keep all of your tips is unheard of in the stripping industry. Also, didn't the main character go to at least a semi-nude strip club after being at the "go-go" (fully clothed) club?? I didn't see anyone getting nude at all at that place.
It's extremely rare for strippers in the USA to be paid by the hour. Most dancers also need to pay a "tip-out" or a bar fee just for the "privilege" of dancing at an establishment, and they make most of their money doing lap dances and/or private dances...and even then they usually don't get to keep a lot of that money.
I guess that's another reason it sucks to live in America.
In Australia Go-Go dancers can expect to make $25-30 an hour an keep all of their tips, though it is common to pool all staff tips and share equally.
Strippers are paid hourly in half of the strip clubs I have knowledge of, and keep 70% of their tips above $100.
If they are not paid hourly, they are allowed to keep all of their tips.
