Wide-eyed nineteen year old Christine Adams decides on a whim to leave her broken family life in small town British Columbia to move to Los Angeles to be with her boyfriend Eddie Molina, who doesn't know she's coming. Christine hopes to start a family with Eddie immediately. But Christine finds that she is restless in her life with Eddie and moves on. From move to move which are always done on a whim, Christine has a similar restless attitude, always dreaming of something better. But she has no real marketable job skills - although she is always thinking about continuing with her schooling in some trade to make a better life for herself - or sense of what working in a traditional type job means. She is able to get by on her looks, which lands her a job as a Las Vegas showgirl. She also goes in and out of relationships - including with Vegas comic Danny Raymond, ex-football player Tommy Marcott who too is trying to find his meaningful niche in life, older businessman Richard Morgan who acts as her sugar daddy, and rock musician Jay Rigney - always dreaming of the perfect relationship situation which never seems to materialize. As such, her life goes into a tailspin. She ultimately lets the world know how she feels life has treated her.
Leave your thoughts about The Grasshopper.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA better than expected dark showgirl life lesson story, that still underwhelms even if it never turns as vulgar as it suggests it would. |
| VarietyVariety StaffBisset is on camera for almost the entire film, kept carefully within her dramatic depth by Director Jerry Paris, with unexpected outbreaks of a kooky humor. |
| User ReviewJerry YJacqueline Bisset is such a beautiful woman, even now and this movie showcased her brightly. |
| User ReviewCeph JA fine performance by Jacqueline Bisset (one of her best) but the average script suffers from too many dull men. Granted Bisset is the "Grasshopper" who can't settle down but you can't blame her for these hopeless men she encounters. Even, Jim Brown as a retired football player is given a bland role. The familiar story of a starlet descending on LA and hoping to be "A Star Is Born" is tired. It's a depressing movie since her character is abused, raped, robbed, and ridiculed over not having any talent. I couldn't understand how a smart and sassy character like hers, would allow herself to get involved with a loser like Jay (Christopher Stone). I wish the movie had a better message than "life sucks so fuck it." The scenes of Las Vegas are splendid and I would have stuck with Bisset's efforts to become a showgirl. Whenever, the movie leaves the glitter of Las Vegas, it sinks. |
