When you name your movie Bitch Slap, I have to wonder if you're just fishing for controversy. Like the 2007 comedy Young People F***ing, you're just making things harder for your marketing department. You're not going to get your poster up in the local family-friendly multiplex. Wal-Mart will have nothing to do with you. You'll probably suffer the fate of, say, Zack and Miri Make a Porno and get your titled altered or abbreviated in a way that leaves most people confused as to what the hell the movie's about. What I'm saying here is that if you're going to call your movie Bitch Slap, you'd better have made a movie that backs it up. Is Bitch Slap such a movie? I have no idea, but I would like to point out that this is the most I have ever typed "bitch slap."
Bitch Slap has all the makings of a throwback exploitation-style flick in the vein of Grindhouse: strippers, drugs, gangsters, stolen jewels, and Kevin Sorbo. In fact, I'll see your Kevin Sorbo and raise you a Lucy Lawless. And her Xena sorta-lover Renee O'Connor. It's pretty much a giant Herc/Xena reunion film, which I suppose makes sense given that director Rick Jacobsen worked on both those series back in the '90s. And, er, Cleopatra 2525, but we'll try not to hold that against him too much. At any rate, if the idea of watching an stripper, a drug-runner, and a businesswoman -- all of them hot, of course -- taking on gangsters over $200 mil in stolen diamonds appeals to you, well, you might just be in need of a Bitch Slap. And you can get one when Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment releases an unrated version on DVD March 2nd. Just stroll right into your neighborhood DVD store and ask for one point blank: "I'm looking for a Bitch Slap, please." As long as you're polite, I see no way this could go horribly wrong.
The unrated DVD of BS (see, you can't even abbreviate it without further confusion) will run you $22.98 and include commentary by cast and crew and a behind-the-scenes featurette. Here's the trailer.
