I'm out after five minutes.

Full disclosure: My review is based only on several minutes of viewing. That was more than enough for me. Nudity and special effects couldn't keep this bomb from stinking. If I find myself with 83 minutes to kill, I will revisit the film and give it a proper review.

Nice idea. Not so well executed.

I like the premise and the characters (generally), but there's too much silly. With a little more sophisticated treatment, this could have been much better. And much funnier.

It was hard to suspend disbelief. Character motivation didn't make sense much of the time and a lot of the action felt contrived and artificial. A lot of the dialog was trivial. Vaudevillian.

MJ was OK, but Mimi was way too sweet and femmy (so was Craig). I cringed a few times

The "ladylike" Mimi could have come out of hypnosis with a memory of people and aware of the time line and her surroundings. It would have worked better, I think.

I liked Tom Sizemore. This was a risky role for him and he did it well (except for the above caveats).

I liked Mimi Lesseos in both roles. If I were the Coen Brothers or Donald Petrie I would cast her for the part.

Awful
ThreeThumbsUp28 September 2010
There is nothing about this picture that works. The acting, the camera work, the setting, the audio, the lighting, the storyline...it all stinks. There really isn't a better way to put it. The first thing you'll notice is that it's filmed like a porno -- and a cheap on at that. The camera(s) used seem like they could have been picked up at Wal-Mart. The main actress is absolutely dreadful. The amateurish manner in which she delivers her lines will drive you up a wall. And finally, what the heck is Tom Sizemore doing in this movie!? Yuck, 100% terrible. Do your part; help put this "film" into the bottom 100 where it belongs.

Soldier needs hypnosis to be at ease

The main character MJ is played by Mimi Lesseos a former pro wrestler. MJ has just retired from the military and is highly trained in combat. She still has a tendency to beat men to a pulp but she can't figure out why she can't find a man. When Charm School doesn't work they try hypnosis which transforms MJ into sexy seductive Mimi at the snap of anyone's fingers. The story becomes tedious and tiresome when someone is snapping their fingers every few minutes transforming Mimi's personality back and forth. The slapstick comedy doesn't help either. I would have given this movie a 4 out of 10, but I did give it a 5 simply because MJ was able to transform into such a hottie and because of the other gorgeous eye candy in the movie. Fortunately the story does have a happy ending and that's always important to me.
