Movie Reviews of RingmasterMovie Review: NAKED TRUTH Summary: 5 Stars
It's funny how some folks turn their faces in "despise" and critisize the "trailer junkies" with such an enthusiasm as IF they are much above and beyond. Such a hypocrisy and ignorance! Guess what, if one is lucky enough to manage their residence not in a trailer or inside of an urban ghetto, it doesn't mean that there are no people who carry their existence in both, economical and spiritual poverty, and guess further -- there are millions of them, and they DO have their subculture! Whether we like it or not, but this subculture DOES EXIST pretty nationwide, and here it is -- the naked truth exposed in this film. Welcome to the real America, which was always ignored by those like us -- so-called "middle class" and higher. Jerry Springer -- whatever his motives are -- is one of those who has enough courage to show us the reality, so this may trigger at least some of us: wake up you selfish ignorants, open your eyes and look around -- what is it happening to our culture?! What is it happening to our moral values, ethics, and interpersonal etiquette? What kind of America our descendants will face in the nearest future? This DVD is outstanding, it clearly reflects the internal and external world of the majority -- don't be surprised, the low socio-economic classes, represented in this film, ARE the quantitative majority of our culture -- and here it is: the naked truth. Whether one likes it or not, whether one is in denial or not, but we are living in a ..., and the worst is that NO ONE CARES! -- for one reason or the other... Instead of turning our faces in disgust and critisizing these poor characters (and the act of such critisizm itself makes us no better than them), we should open our eyes wide and take a better look: what is it exactly within our society that is continuously cloning such a breed of population? Is there any solution besides just ignoring the huge pink elephant in the middle of your own home?Jerry Springer is great, no matter what one may think -- if we had no ..., he perhaps would run a show on spirituality, or he would run his own law firm, or perhaps he would keep himself busy in politics -- I'm sure, a bright and educated person like him would never be unemployed. Get this DVD, it's oustanding, the cast does outstanding job, the plot is humorous and entertaining -- there is no dobt that throughout the movie you'll never stop laughing -- but laughing perhaps through tears if you get the real message, the naked truth...
Summary of RingmasterRINGMASTER - DVD Movie Shock-talk TV host Jerry Springer makes his feature-film debut in Ringmaster and is, unfortunately, the least interesting aspect of this ragtag comedy that purports to be a behind-the-scenes look at the kind of people who regularly appear on his show. To be fair, Springer doesn't have much to do except play the often-befuddled moderator. The only time he breaks loose is to defend his guests' right to air their dirty laundry on national television. But most of the juicy lines and situations are assigned to the competent cast of trailer-park denizens who pop in and out of each other's beds and then go on TV to tell everyone about it. There's a hair-pulling scene about every 10 minutes or so. But unlike the nationally televised syndicated program, there is also a great deal of real nudity and unbleeped profanity. There aren't many surprises here, but the actors are amiable and attractive and don't play down to their characters. For all its raunchiness, Ringmaster doesn't have a mean bone in its body. The DVD is formatted in widescreen. Additional features include the film's trailer, a music video, production information, and a commentary from the director, Neil Abramson. --Richard Natale
