Lip Service

Description

Sunni (Kari Wuhrer, TV's "Anaconda," "Higher Learning," TV's "Sliders") is a beautiful singer with an attitude, and is about to record her first album. Deacon (Peter Outerbridge, "Mission to Mars," TV's "Millenium"), is an ex-tycoon producer whose popularity has gone downhill and who thinks he can make it big again with this young sex kitten. He tries everything to turn her tin ear into gold, but she just can't carry a tune. Drowning his sorrows at a karaoke bar, he stumbles upon a young housewife (Gail O'Grady, TV's "American Dreams," "NYPD Blue," "China Beach) who is more at home in the kitchen than behind a microphone, but has an amazing voice. He convinces her to lend her voice to what she believes is a demo tape. Her voice is dubbed over Sunni's entire album which ultimately hits the top of the charts. The fans go wild and demand a live concert. Will the two women meet? How will Deacon handle the scam he has pulled? Will the fans get the live concert they crave?

A really cool movie........2007-01-05

Yeah, it's a B movie, but there are some wonderful things to point out. It was originally released on VH1 as "Out of Sync". I happened to catch it and all the cliche'd characters and catchy songs totally got me into it. Gail O' Grady is absolutely hot and her son in the movie (who's actually in the now defunct band, Serial Joe) reminds me of when I was young trying to find direction in music. For a TV movie it totally rocked and I could watch the ending song "If Love Could Only Live (Online)" a hundred times. From what I've found, that song was written and recorded by Kim Bingham with her band, "The Kim Band", but I haven't been able to find it...just a snippet from her website. As for Serial Joe and the movie soundtrack, there are no traces of it. If you haven't seen this movie, it's a real gem and comes with some great laughs...PLUS you can learn a thing or two on how to deal with your troublesome teenagers!!!

One Great and Interesting movie!!!.......2006-07-25

I liked this movie--good plot, good acting and Kuri Wuhrer nude--what else do you need? She doesn't have a voice and she plays the part of one stupid singer who can't sing rather well--but she is good at it. The other actors are good also, especially the one with the voice--she is one good singer and she is beautiful. The plot is great and easy to follow. This is one B movie to watch!!!!

Re: Singer for "Lip Service".......2004-11-07

As per the previous reviewer's inquiry as to who the singer in this movie was...it was (an actress herself) someone named "Karen Le Blanc". As far as I can tell there is no available soundtrack for this movie. Hope this helps......A very well done movie appreciated as I am a musician myself. Very good songs too.

Don't give me Lip.......2004-10-24

I loved this movie when I saw it on VH1. It was called Out of Sync. They had to change the title since there was another movie of the same title it appears as I have been looking for this movie. I thought the movie was funny and helped me get over a little of my stage fright and the music is pretty good.

Superficiality at its best.......2003-11-11

POSSIBLE SPOILER

This movie is probably the most complete compendium of commonplaces I have seen in years. Every cliché in the book is there, from the failed musician in rehab, to the unscrupulous producers, to the frustrated housewife, to the mindless bimbo. Oh, by the way, in the subplot department we find the unsupportive husband, the moronic teenage son and the angelical little daughter.

I'm not saying that you can't have a good time watching this movie, if you find a moment in which you don't want to occupy your head in more demanding tasks, but the shortcomings are impossible to conceal. There is no character development whatsoever, the kind of "comedy of errors" procedure is specially annoying since nobody can understand why do they want to complicate things in such a stupid way, the ending is "Singing in the Rain" like (and that should be enough to get the picture), and so on.

The acting doesn't help a lot the efforts of the, apparently gifted, screenwriters to put some intelligent humor in the dialog. The male main character is appalling and the rest of his male colleagues are not much better, except for the one who plays the cajoling producer, which is even worse. However, it is fair to say that the difference with the women performances is monumental. Gail O'Grady gives a dignified rendering of her one-sided character and, although the script forces her to do stupid things, she manages to remain lovable to the audience. Kari Wuhrer is superb. She succeeds in taking her dumb-brunette role and pulling a person out of it, with different facets and an opening for development, which is aborted because she doesn't get enough time to work on it. But this is not her fault, of course. I would love to see her in a really interesting role in which she could show what she can, as well as how great she looks, which is undeniable, by the way.

Product Description

Allison Cole has the perfect life. Her boyfriend, Stuart, is a successful lawyer; she lives in a beautiful home and has become rich creating her own stylish line of designer furniture. Life is good until, through bizarre set of circumstances, Kat, a sexy modern day gypsy and former college roommate shows up and moves right in.

Things go bad fast when Kat learns that Allison's financial success has been achieved by selling copies of a chair designed by Kat back in college and given to Allison as a gift.

Lip Service.......2003-04-24

This Movie is one of the best I've seen in a while. Jami Gertz who plays Kat is absolutely stunning and gives a knock out performance as the wild friend from college (to put it mildly). Sybil Temchen plays the well to do and very put together Allison Cole. Kat is a nymphomaniac and Allie is too scared to entirely act on her impulses. The movie has hints of comedy, drama, and suspense but I'm not sure exactly which category it should be put in. All in all, it is a great movie with a few unexpected twists. I highly recommend this movie to everyone (over the age of 17).

Lip Service.......2003-02-15

What can i say. Its a movie thats meant to be a bit suspensful and it is. Its also quite hilarious. Alie is quite well off, and runs her own company selling artsy furniture that she puts off as her own designs. Her most successful piece being a rosebud chair. Only thing is Alie really didnt make that chair. Her best friend Kat made that chair. Well, Kat comes in for a visit. See Kats not like Alie, atleast not anymore. Kats still the same as she was in art school. She sleeps around alot, drinks alot and basically does everything alot. Shes a dred head bohemian wild child and Alies, well, not. Kats a sweetheart and Alie knows that, but when Kat finds out that Alie has used her gift to get ritch off of while Alie was selling herself to make money for dinner she is less than thrilled. She then proceeds to slowly destroy Alies success. Its not a thriller. Its not a drama. Its not a comedy. Its a movie about honesty, rules in love, and of all things, its a movie about friendship and finding the root of it and whats worth fighting for. This movie is not risque, which the cover makes it appear that way. Its a fun movie. I definatly recomend it. Its also set the the sounds of Ani Difranco which is a definate plus in my book. She fits the film.

Don't watch if you are sleepy.......2001-07-14

Are you looking for a Sexy movie? Are you looking for a movie that is quick paced and grabs your attention? If so this movie is not the one you should choose! The pace of this movie is slow at best and the 'Sexiness' is nowhere to be found! Also , this flick takes itself too seriously , it should realize it is a B movie and have fun with that fact and run with it. Not worth much more than a Dollar rental night at the local Vid Store.

Exciting.......2000-08-14

I thought this video was very uplifting, you are always off your seat and u cant get enough of the chicks in it, i rented it but ithink im going to buy it very soon, it's a must get.

Chapped LIPS.......2000-02-21

I'm a big fan of Surrender Cinema, however their latest entry has me worried that this once "edgy" film company has lost it. To begin with, the plot is weak -- but really, who cares. So long as the girls are white hot and the sex is good. Okay, in LIP Service we're batting 1 for 2. As can be expected, the girls were hot. What left me feeling cheated was the sex scenes. For one, there weren't many. For two, the girl/girl scenes were terrible. I thought I was watching a shampoo commercial, what with all the hair stroking. There was no kissing, no excitement, and no heat. After viewing SC classics as Femalien, Virtual Encounters and Veronica 2030, I'm surprised the powers-that-be at Surrender Cinema even let this dreck out the door. Hey, guys, go watch your earlier films ... go back to the basics. Your viewers demand it.
