Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

merklekranz "Time Served" is a cartoon-like women in prison movie that has little going for it. The plot is ridiculous, a work release program at a strip club, a judge with a very dim view of women is the club's best customer, the warden, Louise Fletcher, gets a piece of the action, and finally, the wrongly imprisoned Catherine Oxenberg pole dances about as well as my goldfish. All is forgiven however whenever Bo Hopkins is on the screen. With his hair dyed blonde, the corpulent Hopkins as "Mr.D", the strip club owner, plays his part in a bizarre, overacting stupor. My suggestion for viewing "Time Served" is to hit the fast forward button anytime a pole appears, and it's almost watchable. A couple stiff drinks wouldn't hurt either. - MERK

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* I bought this video. Oxenberg takes the rap for the murder of her abusive husband. She ends up in a women's prison. Thankfully, this prison has a progressive work release program. If she would just agree to dance topless at a local bar, she may shave some time off. After a little abuse, she decides stripping is not such a bad idea. Eventually she takes the bus over to the nudie bar. The rest of the flick has a lot of strip club scenes as Oxenberg fights for her freedom.Yes, it's two movies in one. "Time Served" can't decide if it wants to be a women's prison flick or a stripper movie. In the end, the stripper movie prevails. Since all they really wanted was to show some naked breasts, keeping the action in the strip club made the most sense. While "Time Served" sounds like an exploitation fan's dream come true, the filmmaker's hearts really weren't into the abusive, violent side of the women's prison genre. But, as we all know, any movie with strip club scenes must be good on some level. Overall, it was a decent B-flick. It's worth a look.

RicRealtor I liked the movie for light watching. Although I thought C. Oxenberg was very stiff and not very believable. I thought the other stars did a good job. I especially like Lourdes Colon who I believe is doing her first film. She seemed to me to be playing herself in this movie, and her acting seemed very natural. I found I watched her when she was on screen mor than the other actors/actresses. I wonder how the movie would have looked if Lourdes Colon and C. Oxenberg switched roles.... I will watch for other movies she appears in and will rent or purchase them.

smatysia Wow, they combined a women-in-prison movie with a strip-club movie. Unfortunately, neither one is very good. The prison is full of average-looking to pretty white women. Not nearly enough nudity in the prison part of the film, and breasts in topless bar scenes really aren't that erotic. Catherine Oxenberg wasn't scintillating in the starring role, although she is quite pretty. Lourdes Colon was pretty decent here, and deserves a try in a better movie. It WAS refreshing to see women's breasts that could actually appear in nature. Maybe the silicone craze has run its course. (I hope)
