Storyline:
Debbie gets a spot on the roster of
the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, which is referenced only as "Texas"
throughout the movie. The only problem is that Debbie doesn't have enough money
to get there on her own, and her mom doesn't want to help her, so her friends
decide to help her out, and they all get small jobs around town to raise money.
One day, Debbie is approached by her boss, Mr. Greenfeld, who first offers $10
to see her breasts, another $10 to touch them, and finally another $10 to
suckle them. She realizes that they can get more money by performing sexual
favors. She finally gets to go when Mr. Greenfeld offers to pay for everything
if Debbie helps him reliza his fantasy and let him "score a
touchdown".
Debbie Does Dallas Movie Reviews:
Obviously, Minestra's screenplay is not one
of the great works of film writing, but let's take a moment to appreciate it
for its virtues. The film has better pacing than almost any other film of the
time in this genre, and the key scenes are well-established and strangely
engrossing.
True, there are flaws in the film. A few of the actors and actresses have a kind of gross/scary look that seems to somehow be the result of the decade itself, and the score is maddeningly repetitive. Still, the good elements at least measure up to the bad ones.
I was a little disappointed (as I imagine many were) that Bambi Woods wasn't given more to work with. Even though she is given top billing and the titular character, she doesn't have any real dramatic moments until the end of the film.
I have to say that the best actress of the picture was Debbie Lewis in her small, but pivotal role as Girl in Shower.
Though I wouldn't call Debbie Does Dallas a masterpiece, I would recommend it to any fan of the genre.
