Editorial Reviews:

From Amazon.com
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

4 out of 5 stars A Whole Lot about Jerry You Probably Didn't Know   November 4, 2003
Sara Swihart (Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA)
When I bought this book, it was purely because of the price and for an entertainment factor. When I got the book, I almost immediately started reading it. I found his childhood very fascinating.

One of the parts that seemed to bore me a bit was his conversation with God. But after that, the book really seems to pick up.

I knew some of the things about Springer, like the check at the 'massage parlor', but I didn't know many of the details behind it. Perhaps this was a way for Jerry to set the record straight, and to purge his soul.

In interviews, he rarely mentions his ex-wife, Mickey, or daughter, Katie. This book has only a chapter about his family, with 2 or 3 pictures. It was a side of Jerry that only the people of Cincinnati saw.

I think that this would be a good book for anyone who judges Jerry and the Jerry Springer Show to read because it really expresses the theme that you are all human.


4 out of 5 stars Wild!   September 4, 2003
everything thing was great. The fights, the arguements, the show in itself was amazing to watch. Great movie for Jerry Springer fans.


5 out of 5 stars Ashley Holbrook and Michael Jai White   August 5, 2003
See this movie for Ashley Holbrook who plays "Willie". He is so hot, just look at him in the scene with Angel's mom and what she does for him. Also, look for Michael Jai White who plays "Demond" he has a great body including: muscles, abs, tight rear end, and great face.


1 out of 5 stars It is what it is....   July 5, 2003
I saw this with a group of friends at a "Girl's Nite In" party and we all knew what to expect...and that's what we got. It was trashy, the plot was thin, and very predictable...just what we needed after a day defending clients in court, running a school district, and 10 hours sewing folks up in the OR!!!

It is really unnecessary to be overly critical of a film that spoofs Jerry Springer...come on now!!!!


3 out of 5 stars Just as much white-trash as there is on the show   April 18, 2003
Matteo (CT)
This show is really tasteless and brings out the worst in people, but I love it. Making a a movie on it was probably a bad idea though. I eas expecting one 2-hour long show of Jerry Springer, or some really funny shows all mixed together. I wasn't expecting actors to portray white-trash guests on Jerry Springer and try to make it a drama, not a comedy. I found parts of it entertaining, like in the beginning when Jaime Pressley's mom went out and slept with her Pressley's boyfriend for revenge. But really, this movie is trash.
