Description
Randy commits a victimless crime that would normally get him probation and a hefty fine, but in the "three-strikes" world of justice, he finds himself locked up for 25 years. His cellmate Jake is a congenial yet remorseless lifer who casually informs Randy that he slit his wife's throat because she slept with another man just three months after they exchanged vows. Jake recognizes Randy's fear and offers him advice on how to make it in prison. But it soon becomes clear that Jake has much more than mentoring in mind as he takes Randy under his wing. "Jailbait" sets a darkly cerebral tone, juxtaposing brutality with the unattainable ideal of intimacy in the harshest of psychological environments. For these two men so yearning to be anything but who they are and where they are, power is the goal, and it's never clear who truly holds it right up to the last unsettling moment.Customer Reviews:

Passafist Reviews Jailbait.......2003-06-18
JAILBAIT is one of those self aware teenie-bopper flicks which I later found out had it's premiere on MTV. It thinks it a comedy; to bad it isn't funny. It thinks it's camp; to bad it's disjointed and stupid. You know, the nicest thing I can say about this film is that it's in focus.
It stars Kevin Mundy (3000 Miles to Grace Land) as Jim Darling, the most popular senior in his high school. He has a girlfriend named Amber (Regan Pasternak) who won't give him sexual gratification. So he finds it in Gynger, (Alica Purrot) a trailer trash sexpot who's a sophomore. All hell breaks loose when Gynger becomes pregnant, Jim is charged with statutory rape, an Amber is hurt but for some reason is oblivious to how much of an idiot Jim is.
There's not one smart person in this film. Everyone is a dolt, there's no voice of reason, and so about 10 minutes in you've lost all interest. Except the story thinks this is funny, so it throws in zingers left and right, not one of which is funny.
Fortunately the film is short, barely 80 minutes, but early on there are two sequences thrown in because I think someone felt it necessary to stretch the running time. The first scene is of Gynger lying there in her underwear staring at a photo. The next is a four minute Music video, with a bunch of unidentifiable girls (possibly some failed band) singing and a take-off of Britney Spears `Hit Me Baby One More Time.'
The film is also quite sexually explicit for the first 4 or 5 minutes. Then for some reason it's all reigned in. This is probably best explained by its inclusion as an original movie from MTV. I can honestly say this film is the WORST MTV film ever, even worse than JOE'S APARTMENT.
Director Allan Moyle should be ashamed of this film. Especially since some of his other work is far better (Pump Up The Volume and The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag are great). I'll give him this one as a lapse in judgment after that I don't know. I'd rather be in jail than sit through JAILBAIT again.
